5. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler
and recoil starter.
6. Look for signs of damage.
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.
RUNNING THE GENERATOR
1. Remove all loads from the AC and DC power outlets.
2. Follow the engine start procedure in Starting the Engine.
3. Turn the ECO switch to the OFF position.
4. Press the Battery On/Off switch to On.
5. Push the power button to start the engine.
6. Start the engine manually if the electric start does not work.
a. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel resistance, then pull
the starter handle briskly. The engine should turn over and
start running.
b. Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the
engine. Instead, return the starter grip gently by hand.
7. Warm up the generator without load for 3 minutes.
8. Be sure that all appliances are in good working condition before
connecting them to the generator.
9. Attach appliances, one at a time starting with the appliance with
the highest current rating. Most appliance motors require more
than their rated wattage for start-up. Do not exceed the current
limit specified for any one socket. See Wattage Reference Chart.
10. Turn off the generator immediately if an appliance becomes
sluggish, stops suddenly or acts in an abnormal manner.
Disconnect and inspect the appliance.
11. Reduce the electric load on the circuit if the circuit protector trips.
Wait a few minutes before resuming operation.
