STARTING THE UNIT
Make certain the generator is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the
generator. Never start or stop the generator
with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
Disconnect electrical devices
3. Connect LPG tube to the LPG tank, and then
open the LPG valve slowly, till it totally open (to
insure no LPG leakage).
4. Move the choke lever to the “Choke”
position.
5. Press the denser bottom of the REDUCTOR
ASSY and hold 1
～
2 seconds;
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly
Recoil starting rope
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to
“Run”.
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS AND
ELECTRICAL CAPACITY
After starting the generator, let the engine
warm up after connecting electrical loads to it.
Do not have any electrical loads connected
before starting the generator.
Make sure all electrical devices are 60 Hz
devices.
Do not connect 50 Hz devices to the generator.
Do not connect 3 ‐ phase loads to the generator.
Do not overload the generator.
Before beginning your work, you must verify
that the rated (running) and surge (starting)
watts for the items you will power at the same
time are within the generators operating
capacity. Please refer to the following Table 1
for wattage / amperage ratings. Also, to prolong
the life of your generator, prolong the life of
your generator, sequentially add loads and
permit the generator to stabilize before adding
another load. Never exceed the capacity of the
generator.
Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you
will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of
power needed to start electric motor ‐ driven
tools or appliances such as a circular saw or
refrigerator.
Stopping the Engine
1 .Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never
start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
2 .Let the generator run at no ‐ load for several
minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the
engine and generator.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “Off” position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
