Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Allow the engine to warm up for five minutes. Then place the main
breaker (T) in the ON position.
Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to
equipment:
2. Connect inductive load equipment first. Inductive loads consist of
refrigerators, freezers, water pumps, air conditioners or small hand
tools. Connect the items that require the most wattage first.
3. Connect the lights next.
4. Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment con-
nected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such
at TV's, VCR's, microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless tele-
phones into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then connect the
UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator.
WARNING:
Failure to connect and operate equipment in this
sequence can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty
on your generator.

high Altitude operating
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich.
Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very
rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications
to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above
1,524 meters (5,000 feet), have your authorized service center perform
a carburetor modification.
Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease
about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The
effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor
modification is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease
the power output of the generator.
notE:
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude
operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. If
the generator is used at low altitudes after a carburetor modification,
the carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious
engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your authorized service
center return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
high and Low Temperature operation
Air temperature affects generator output. Output drops 1% for each
10ºF temperature rise above 60º F. Very low temperature may cause
the engine to be hard to start.

WARNING:
Failure to properly connect lifting cables, chains or
straps can cause property damage, serious injury or death, and void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING:
Always use cables, chains or straps rated at 2000 lbs.
working load or more to raise or suspend generator.
