Add engine lubricant per the Operator’s Manual
instructions.
Turn the ENGINE/CHOKE LEVER to the CHOKE
position.
Fill the fuel tank per the Operator’s Manual
instructions.
Pull the engine recoil five (5) times to prime the fuel
system.
Press the AUTO IDLE SWITCH to the OFF position.
Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts.
Move the CHOKE LEVER to the RUN position.
For quieter more efficient operation, place the AUTO
IDLE switch in the ON position.
To start subsequent times:
NOTE: Subsequent starting should only require 6 pulls
maximum.
Unplug all loads from the generator.
Place the auto idle switch in the off position.
Slide the engine/choke lever to the start (centre)
position.
NOTE: When the engine/choke lever is in the start
(centre) position, the fuel will flow from the fuel tank to
the engine. If engine is warm, move the engine/choke
lever right to the run (restart) position.
Pull the starter grip and rope until the engine runs (a
maximum of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after
starting; return it gently to its original place. Initial
starting of the unit may require additional pulls to
prime the fuel system.
Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move
the engine/choke lever right to the run position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 5-6.
Remove any load from the generator.
Place the engine/choke lever in the off position.
To stop the engine in an emergency situation:
Put the engine/choke lever in the off position.
WARNING:
While operating and before storing a hot unit,
keep at least 1 m of clearance on all sides of this
product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of
30 minutes of “cool down” time before storage.
Heat created by the muffler and exhaust gases
could be hot enough to cause serious burns and
/or ignite combustible objects.
USING THE BATTERY CHARGING CABLE
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
The 12 V DC receptacle is designed to charge
vented wet lead acid batteries only. Other types
of batteries could burst, causing personal injury
and damage.
CAUTION:
The 12 V DC receptacle provides continuous
charge. Do not overcharge battery or leave
battery unattended. Doing so may cause
damage to the battery.
CAUTION:
Do not use the generator to jump start vehicles.
Doing so could result in damage to the vehicle or
it’s electrical components.
Place the auto idle switch in the OFF position.
Using the battery clamps, connect the battery
charging cable assembly to the battery terminal.
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal
first, then connect the black wire to the negative (–)
terminal. Make sure all connections are secure.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals
when installing. Shorting the terminals together can
cause sparks, damage to the battery or generator, or
even burns or explosions.
NOTE: To prevent short circuit, keep away from a
metal surface during clamp connection.
Connect the battery charging cable assembly to the
12 V DC receptacle.
Start the generator.
NOTE: The AC receptacles can be used while the DC
receptacle is in use.
■ The battery will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
NOTE: Only use battery charging cable assembly to
charge vented wet lead acid batteries.
■ When batteries become fully charged, disconnect the
battery charging cable assembly from the battery.
Disconnect the negative (black) wire first, then the
positive (red) wire, being careful not to short across
the terminals. Always abide by the safety warnings
provided with the battery.
NOTE: Most batteries will be completely charged after
30 to 120 minutes. However, it is highly recommended
that you refer to your battery manufacturer’s instructions
for specific charge times.
■ Unplug battery charging cable assembly and store for
later use.
USING THE GENERATOR
Connect devices to be powered by generator by following
the steps below:
■ Make sure the generator can supply enough
continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for
