1.27 Transporting
When transporting the generator:
1. Turn the engine fuel valve to the off position.
2. Position the generator level to prevent fuel from
spilling.
3. Secure the generator by tying it down with suitable
rope.
Let engine cool before transporting generator or
storing indoors, to avoid burns or fire hazards.
WARNING
!
1.26 Setting Engine Speed
Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the
correct voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor
which automatically adjusts to varying loads on the
engine to maintain a constant speed of 3600–3700 rpm.
To set governor speed:
Turn governor speed adjusting screw (j) in or out to
obtain a no-load speed of 3700 rpm.
CAUTION:
Setting the governor speed too high or too
low may damage tools and other appliances attached to
the generator.

1.25 Carburetor Adjustment
The pilot screw (a) is fitted with a limiter cap to prevent
excessive enrichment of the air-fuel mixture in order to
comply with emission regulations. The mixture is set at
the factory and no adjustment should be necessary. Do
not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap
cannot be removed without breaking the pilot screw.
