Operation

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the

following start instructions:

1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate the unit on a level

surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during

operation.

2. Turn the fuel valve (A) to the “On” position.

3. Make sure idle control switch is in “Off” position.

4. Push engine rocker switch to run position (I).

5. Push choke lever (B) to “Choke” position.

6. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight

resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly one time only to

start engine.

• If engine starts, proceed to step 8.

• If engine fails to start, proceed to step 7.

7. Move choke lever to “Half” choke position, and pull

recoil handle twice.

• If engine fails to start, repeat steps 5 thru 6.

8. Slowly move choke lever to “Run” position. If engine

falters, move choke lever to “Half” choke position until

engine runs smoothly, and then to “Run” position.

IMPORTANT: If engine floods, move choke lever to “Run”

position and crank until engine starts.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit

shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level

surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase. This unit

may be equipped with a low oil protection device. If so, oil

must be at proper level for engine to start.

Connecting Electrical Loads

1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes

after starting.

2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt

AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

NOTE:

• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex

receptacles.

• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.

• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See Don’t

Overload Generator.

NOTICE

Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity

can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to

it.

• DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity. See

Don’t Overload Generator in the Operation section.

• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting

electrical loads.

• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for

operation.

• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before

stopping generator.

WARNING Contact with muffler area can result in

serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite

combustibles, structures or damage

fuel tank causing a fire.

• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

• Allow equipment to cool before touching.

• Keep at least 5 feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of

generator including overhead.

• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section

4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,

brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust

system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section

4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or

federal jurisdictions may have similar laws.

Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer

to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system

installed on this engine.

• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same

position as the original parts.

WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can

result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand

and arm toward engine faster than you can let

go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt

and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in

and turned on.
