CAUTION
Allow the generator to run for 5 minutes each
time it is restarted before applying load. This
will let the engine and generator stabilize.
DANGER
• Provide adequate ventilation for
toxic exhaust gases and cooling air
flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in
and enclosed area, even if windows
or doors are open.
• Engines give off carbon monoxide, a
odorless colorless, poison gas.
• Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting or death.
Applying Load
• This generator has been pre-tested and adjusted
at the factory to handle its rated load.
• Apply load only after the generator is running
and has warmed up for 5 minutes.
• Voltage is regulated by the speed of the engine
which is adjusted at the factory for correct out-
put. Readjusting will void the warranty.
