10,O00W Generator
Controls (cont)
Choke Rod
The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a
cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever
manually. Pull the rod out toward CLOSED to enrich the mixture for
cold starting.
Ground Terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non=current
carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the
ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Oil Alert System
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of
oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert
System will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The
Oil Alert System should not take place of checking the oil level before each use. If engine stops
or does not restart, check the engine oil leve! before troubleshooting in other areas.
CiRCUiT BREAKER
Turn the circuit breaker OFF before starting the generator.
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a
short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the
receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed
the rated load capacity of the AC circuit before switching the circuit
breaker ON again.
Turn the circuit breaker OFF before stopping the generator.
The circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator AC power ON or OFF.
Voltage selector switch (only for dual voltage system)
The Voltage selector switch, switches the main power carrying windings of the generator to
produce "120V ONLY" or "120V/240V". If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong
receptacle, the switch must be in the "120/240V" position. If only a 120V appliance is being
connected to any of the120V 3-prong receptacles, select the "120V ONLY" position.
