3.

Turn the Engine’s “ON/OFF” Switch to its “ON” position.  (See Figure D.)

4.

Grasp the Handle of the Engine’s Starter Pulley and rapidly pull the Starter Pulley
to start the Engine.  NOTE: It may take one or more pulls on the Starter Pulley to
start the Engine.  (See Figure D.)

5.

Allow the Engine to run for several seconds, then move the Engine’s Fuel Choke
all the way to the left to its “RUN” position.  (See Figures D and G.)

Powering Tools And Equipment:

1.

Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage,
wattage, and amperage capacity (120V/20 Amp and 240V/20 Amp, 4,800 rated
Watts) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power.  If power-
ing exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more
tools and equipment for connection to a separate Generator.

2.

Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 120 volt
powered tools and equipment into the 120 VAC Outlets (part #41).  If a 120/240
volt tool or equipment is used, connect its power cord into the 120/240 VAC Twist
Lock Outlet (part #42).  (See Figure H.)

3.

NOTE: The Generator features 

two AC Non-Fuse Overload Breakers (part #40)

to protect the AC circuit in case of an overload.  Should an overload occur one or
both of the Breakers will “trip”, causing the Generator to automatically shut off
power output.  In this case, refer to Step #1 in this section.  Then, reset the circuitry
system by depressing the Breaker(s).  Restart the Generator, if necessary, and
continue powering the remaining tools and equipment.  (See Figure H.)
