NOTICE: Start generator and let
engine stabilise before connecting
electrical loads. Connect electrical
loads in OFF position then turn ON
for operation.Turn electrical loads
OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.
NOTICE: Exceeding generators
wattage/amperage capacity could
damage generator and/or electrical
devices connected to it. DO NOT
exceed the generator’s wattage/
amperage capacity.
Overloading a generator in excess of its
rated wattage capacity can result in damage
to the generator and to connected electrical
devices.
Observe the following to prevent overloading
the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical
devices to be connected at one time.
This total should NOT be greater than
the generator’s wattage capacity.
NOTICE: The rated wattage of lights
can be taken from light bulbs. The
rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data
label or decal affixed to the devices.
If the appliance, tool or motor does
not give wattage, multiply volts times
ampere rating to determine watts
(volts× amps = watts). Some electric
motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts
of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few
seconds when starting such motors.
Make sure to allow for high starting
wattage when selecting electrical
devices to connect to the generator:
• Figure the watts needed to start the
largest motor.
• Add to that figure the running watts of
all other connected loads. The wattage
reference guide is provided to assist
in determining how many items the
generator can operate at one time.
Stopping The Engine
• 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.
• Let engine run at no-load for several
minutes to stabilise the internal
temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
• Close fuel valve.
Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor that shuts down the engine auto-
matically 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.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1500 metres, a minimum
91 octane gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjust-
ment is required. Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased perfor-
mance, increased fuel consumption, and
increased emissions. See an authorised
dealer for high altitude adjustment informa-
tion. Operation of the engine at altitudes
below 750 metres with the high altitude kit is
not recommended.
