1.
WARNiNG!
Always make sure the Engine’s Ignition (2) is in its
“OFF”
position
prior to performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of the Generator or En-
gine.
(See Figure c.)
Before each use,
2.
inspect the general condition of the Generator and Engine. Check
for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
loose hose connections, and any other condition that may affect the safe opera-
tion of the Generator and Engine. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
Generator maintenance:
3.
Keep the Generator clean and dry at all times.
a.
The Generator should not be operated or stored in locations that include exces-
b.
sive moisture, dust, flammable or corrosive vapors. If these substances are on
the Generator, clean with a cloth or soft brush.
Do not use a garden hose or anything with liquid to clean the Generator. Liquid
c.
may enter the cooling air slots and could damage the interior workings of the
Generator.
Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be con-
c.
nected to the Generator and the first to be disconnected. Plug voltage sensitive
items such as T.V.’s, VCR’s, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL
listed voltage surge protector (not included). Then, connect the UL Listed surge
protector into the Generator.

cAuTiON!
Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in
this sequence can cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equip-
ment and will void the warranty on this Generator.
Once the Engine is running, simply connect the 120 volt appliances, tools, and
9.
equipment into the 120 VAC Outlets (5). Connect a 240 volt appliance, tool, or
equipment into the 240 VAC Outlet (6). Or connect a 12 volt appliance, tool, or
equipment into the 12 VDC Outlet (8).
(See Figure c.)
iMPORTANT:
10.
If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below 250 Watts,
move the Engine Choke Lever (21A) to the
“hALF-chOKE”
position.
(See Figure E.)
NOTE: Do not allow the generator to completely run out of fuel with devices at-
tached. A generator’s output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel, causing
damage to attached devices.
When finished using the Generator, disconnect all electrical loads. Turn the Engine
11.
Ignition (2) to its
“OFF”
position to stop the Engine. Then, close the Engine Fuel
Valve (41).
