IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. See the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may
occur.
2.7 TO START THE ENGINE
Never start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged into the receptacles AND
devices turned on.
1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before
starting the engine.
2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in
any direction).
3. OPEN the Fuel Shut-off Valve (Figure 11).
4. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to ON position (Figure 11).
Figure 11 - Engine Controls
5. Move engine CHOKE lever to the FULL CHOKE position (Figure
11).
6. To start engine, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.
7. When engine starts, move choke lever to 1/2-CHOKE position
until engine runs smoothly and then fully into RUN position.
If engine falters, move choke back out to 1/2-CHOKE position
until engine runs smoothly and then to RUN position.
NOTICE:
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to
the START position and repeat starting instructions.
2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
4. Close fuel valve.
2.9 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has
enough gasoline, check engine oil level.
2.9.1 SENSING LOW OIL LEVEL
If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine
shuts down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled
to the proper level.
3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
