OPERATION/
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
• Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for
running under load during use. For example, a 5000 watt
generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.
• Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require
a very large force to start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal
running wattage in order to start. For example, a 5000 watt
generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 7000 watt
pump.
CAUTION
the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage.
Always check the requirements of the tool or appliance being
used compared to the rated output of the generator.
Stopping The Generator
1.
the cord from receptacle of the generator.
2. Allow the engine several minutes to cool down and to stabilize
the internal temperatures of the engine and generator before
stopping.
3. Push the engine switch to the OFF position.
Oil Sensor
The oil sensor detects a drop in oil level in the crankcase and
automatically stops the engine when the oil level drops below a
predetermined level.
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a VSHFL¿HG
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough
gasoline, check the engine oil level.

High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane
/ 85 (89 RON) of gasoline is acceptable. For the emissions to
be compliant, a high altitude adjustment is required. Operation
without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See an
authorized dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
