GENERAL CONDITION
1. Look around and underneath the generator for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler
and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place.
5. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
CHECK THE ENGINE
Consult the engine manual for additional details.
1. Check the fuel level.
2. Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level
can cause engine damage.
3. Check the air filter element. A dirty air filter will reduce engine
performance.
GROUND THE GENERATOR
The generator must be properly grounded to prevent electric shocks.
The generator is equipped with a ground terminal connector. Attach a
length of 10 AWG (minimum) wire to a ground rod driven into the earth.
Attached the other end to the ground terminal connector. Consult
municipal electrical codes or a qualified electrician to confirm grounding
requirements.
GFCI OUTLET
The GFCI outlet will quickly stop the flow of electricity in event of a
ground fault. Test the GFCI outlet’s safety features before first use to
confirm they are working correctly, then every month afterwards (see
Care & Maintenance - Testing and Resetting the GFCI Outlet).
RUNNING THE GENERATOR
1. Remove all loads from the AC and DC power outlets and switch off
the AC breaker before starting the engine.
2. Follow the engine start procedure in the engine manual.
3. Warm up the generator without load for 3 minutes.
