8. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator in
fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This
allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
9. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1524 m (5,000 ft.), a minimum 89 RON
(85 octane/85 AKI) fuel is acceptable. To remain emissions
compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation
without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
See an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes
below 762 m (2,500 ft.) with the high altitude kit is not
recommended.
Transporting
When transporting equipment, turn engine switch to off
position. Do not tip engine or equipment at an angle which
causes fuel to spill.
Step 3: Generator Start Up
Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator. Use
the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.
NOTICE
Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may
cause the unit to shut down.
2. Turn the engine switch to the ON (I) position.
3. Push choke lever to CHOKE ( ) position.
4. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.
• If engine starts, proceed to step 6.
• If engine fails to start, proceed to step 5.
WARNING!
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you
can let go which could cause broken bones,
fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury.
• 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.
5. Move choke lever to half choke position, and pull recoil
handle twice.
• If engine fails to start, repeat steps 3 thru 4.
6. 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.
NOTICE
If engine floods, move choke lever to RUN ( )
position and crank until engine starts.
NOTICE
If engine starts after 2 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 is equipped with a low oil protection device. If so,
oil must be at proper level for engine to start.
Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
To Restore Home Power Using a Transfer Switch
Connections to your home’s electrical system must use a
manual transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power from the utility
power and comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
To Restore Power Using Extension Cords
Generator may only be loaded up to rated power under the
rated conditions as shown on unit data tag. Reduce load
when using generator outside of rated conditions.
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in
accordance with IEC 60245-4 with the generator’s 230
Volt AC outlets. Inspect extension cables before each use.
Check that all extension cables are suitably rated and are
not damaged. When using extension cords under 40° C,
the total length of cords for a cross section of 1.5 mm²
should not exceed 60 m or for a cross section of 2.5 mm²
should not exceed 100 m.
WARNING!
Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Electrical equipment, including cables and plug
connections, should not be defective.
1. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
2. When operating generator with extension cords, make
sure it is located in an open, outdoor area, at least 6.1
m from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away.
3. Extension cords running directly into home, powering
indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
