Connecting Electrical Loads
Let engine stabilize and warm up for three minutes
after starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
Do Not connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt
receptacles.
Do Not connect 3phase loads to the generator.
Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be run at
one time. This total should not be greater than the
rated wattage/amperage capacity of the generator.
See Dont Overload the Generator on page 12.
Stopping the Engine
Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
Put the idle control switch in the Off position.
Let engine run at noload for three minutes to
stabilize the units internal temperatures.
Move run/stop switch to Stop.
Close the fuel shutoff valve.
Operating Automatic Idle Control
This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy. When this switch is turned ON, the engine
will only run at its normal high governed engine speed
when an electrical load is connected. When the load is
removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With
the switch Off, the engine runs constantly at the
normal high engine speed. Always have the switch
Off when starting and stopping the engine.
Charging a Battery
DANGER! Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas while recharging. An explosive
mixture will remain around the battery for a long
time after it has been charged. The slightest
spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an
explosion, resulting in blindness or other
serious injury.
DANGER! Do Not permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat
around a battery. Wear protective goggles,
rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
around a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
cause severe burns. If a spill occurs, flush area
with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. Do Not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries. Do Not use the unit to crank an engine
having a discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,
add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in
battery cells. Do Not use tap water.
If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure
they are installed and are tight.
If necessary, clean battery terminals.
Connect battery charge cable connector plug to
panel receptacle identified by the words
12 VOLTS D.C..
Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle
to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 8).
