6. Turn the engine switch to the "ON(I)"
Place one hand on the generator to hold it in
place, and pull on the recoil starter handle
slowly until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull
quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently
into the machine. Never allow the cord to snap
back.
7. When engine starts, push the choke lever
in to the "RUN"
8. Allow generator to run at no load for few minutes
upon each initial start-up to permit engine and
generator to stablize.
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
NOTE:
Keep choke knob in "START" position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke knob
to the "RUN" position for up to the next 3 pulls of the
recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air.
This will cause the engine not to start.
If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run. Or if unit
shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a
level surface and check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil
protection device. If so, oil must be at proper level
for engine to start.
position.
Connecting Electrical Loads
position.
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle
its full capacity. Before starting the generator,
disconnect all loads. Apply load only after generator
is running. Voltage is regulated via the engine speed
adjusted at the factory for correct output.
Re-adjusting will void warranty.
NOTE:
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
2. Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in on
position.
3. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is better to attach
the item with largest load first.
LOW IDLE Switch
NOTICE
Always start the generator with LOW IDLE SWITCH
on OFF position. Allow the engine speed to stabilize
and the OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED to
illuminate green before switching LOW IDLE Switch
to ON position.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the LOW IDLE Switch should be turned
OFF.
