WARNING
Do not use the choke on a warm engine or when restarting. The choke should only be used when starting the engine cold.
Do not attempt to connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt receptacles.
Do not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

WARNING
Stopping the Engine:
1. Unplug all
2. Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds to stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move On/Off switch to “OFF”.
4. Close the fuel shut-off valve.
Start the generator:
1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator when starting the engine
2. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Fig 1).
3. Set the On/Off switch to the “On” position (Fig 2).
4. Place the choke lever in the “Full” choke position by sliding it to the right as indicated in the illustration (Fig 3).
5. Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly one time only to start engine (Fig 4).
6. Move the
. When
engine is at operating temperature, move the choke to “Run” position (left).
7. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
8. For initial operation of a new generator, allow the engine to operate for 10 minutes before applying any electrical load.
9. Plug in the desired 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical load.
1. Generator maintenance includes keeping the unit clean and dry.
2. Operate and st
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign material.
3. Check the
exterior surface.
4. Check the oil level and air cleaner cleanliness at each use.

6. Clean the air cleaner element every 50 hours (every 10 hours under dusty conditions.) Wash in high flash-point solvent. Squeeze dry, then
dip in clean engine oil and squeeze out excess oil.
7. Check and adjust the spark plug every 6 months or 100 hours, whichever comes first.
8. Replace the spark plug every year or 300 hours, whichever comes first.
9. Check and if n
months or 100 hours of operation.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Improper maintenance or operating a defective generator could result in death or serious injury
CAUTION
We
DO NOT
recommend using a garden hose to clean
the generator. Water can enter the fuel system and cause
problems. In addition, if water enters the generator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be retained in voids
and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will
eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
