8.3 Battery Charger for Electric Starter (FOR FG6250PE - FG7750PE -
FG9250PE only)
Keep the generator battery fully charged and ready to use to avoid the need to use the recoil starter
to start the generator manually.
8.4 How to Stop Engine (See Fig.15-17)

All loads MUST be disconnected from the generator. Never start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in to the receptacles.

8.5 Receptacles and Extension Cords
Only use high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords in good condition with generator
receptacles. Follow each load manufacturer’s power rating recommendation when selecting
receptacle and extension cord.
CAUTION! Do not connect 3-phase loads to generator
9 MOVING THE GENERATOR

Disconnect any electronic devices from generator then turn generator off.

Turn fuel valve to the “OFF” position.

Tilt generator until it balances on wheels. Roll machine to desired location.
If the generator must be carried, fold handle to the down position. Never lift or carry generator by
its handle
CAUTION! This product is heavy and requires several people to lift. Lift and lower
with your legs by bending at the knees, not your back, to avoid injury
10 DON’T OVERLOAD GENERATOR
Make sure you can supply enough rated watts and surge watts for all electronic devices connected to
the generator. Rated watts refer to the power a generator must supply to keep a device running.
Surge watts refer to the power a generator must supply to start an electronic device. This power
surge for starting a device usually lasts between 2-3 seconds but this additional output must be
taken into account when selecting the electronic devices you plan to attach to the generator. To
prevent overloading the generator take the following steps:
1.
Add up the total rated wattage of all electronic devices that will be connected to the generator
simultaneously.
2. Estimate surge watts by adding the item(s) with the highest output (it is unnecessary to
calculate the surge output for all devices as they should be connected one at a time).
3. Add the Surge Watts to the total Rated Watts in step 1. Keep total load within generator’s power
capacity.
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to
plugging them into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate
