OPERATION
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 2 pulls
of the recoil starter. After 2 pulls, move choke lever
to the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of
the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to an over-
rich condition due to the lack of incoming air. This
will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
10. RECOIL START: Slowly pull the RECOIL HANDLE 2
times, then pull quickly to START the engine.
11. As engine starts, move CHOKE LEVER to RUN. *Only
required if temp. below 40˚F (4˚C).
12. If the engine fails to start the first time, repeat steps
6-11.
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120/240 Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
NOTE
The supplied 12V 15AH battery does re-charge
while the engine is running, but it is also
recommended that the battery be fully charged at
least once per month.
NOTE
If the temperature is below 40˚F (4˚C) the choke
may be used during the engine warm-up cycle. The
CHOKE LEVER should always set to RUN when
generator has reached operating temperature and is
running smoothly.
