1.15 Before Starting
1. Read and understand safety and operating instruc-
tions at beginning of this manual.
2. Read and understand the meanings of all warning and
operating labels.
3. Inspect generator for any signs of damage which may
affect operation or pose a safety hazard. Tighten any
loose nuts or bolts.
4. Check engine oil and fill to recommended level.
Note:
The engine is equipped with an oil alert system.
If the oil level in the engine drops too low the engine
will not start.
5. Fill fuel tank with fresh, regular, unleaded grade
gasoline. DO NOT use an oil/gas mixture. The use of
gasohol or any fuel containing more than 10% ethanol
is not recommended. Consult engine owner’s manual
for complete fuel specifications.
1.13 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFI)
The 120V, 20 Amp duplex receptacle (a) is equipped with
a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFI). The GFI shuts off the
power to the receptacle when a ground fault occurs in the
generator or to a piece of equipment attached to the
generator. This GFI also protects the second 120V,
20Amp duplex receptacle
(c).
The GFI should be tested for proper operation every time
the generator is used.
To test GFI:
Start generator. Push TEST button
(d) on receptacle in.
The RESET button
(e) will pop out. Power is now off at
the receptacle. If the RESET button does not pop out, the
GFI is not working. Do not run generator until the problem
can be corrected. To restore power to receptacle, push
the RESET button in.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the
generator and check it and equipment for defects.
1.14 Circuit Breaker Protection
The generator is also protected by a 20 Amp circuit
breaker (b) located on the control panel.
The circuit breaker protects the generator from severe
overloads or short circuits. If the circuit breaker opens,
turn the engine off immediately and determine the cause
before restarting. Check the appliances and tools at-
tached to the generator for defects and make sure their
power requirements do not exceed the power rating of
the generator or the current limit of the receptacles.
When the circuit breaker opens, the breaker button will
pop out. To reset circuit breaker, push button in.
