NOTE:
Keep choke lever in “START” position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke lever
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.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
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.
WARNING
2. Flip the engine switch to “STOP” position. Do not
leave the generator until it has completely stopped.
Stopping the Engine (Generator)
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads. Never
start or stop the generator with electrical devices
plugged in or turned on. Let the generator run at
no-load for two minutes to stabilize internal
temperatures of the engine and generator.
6. PULL-TO-RUN
Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly to start the engine.
Connecting Electrical Loads
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 or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is better
to attach the item with largest load first.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start in 1-2 pulls with choke in
the “RUN” position,then move chock lever to
“START” and repeat the “PULL-TO-PRIME”and
“PULL-TO-RUN” steps.
