4) Choke

The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be

opened and closed by operating the choke lever or choke rod manually. Move the lever or the

rod to the CLOSE position to enrich the mixture.

5) Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant

overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically,

check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the

circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again. The circuit breaker may be used to switch

the generator power ON or OFF.

6) Ground Terminal

The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal non-

current carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before

using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency

having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

7) Oil Alert System

The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of

oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert

system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON

position). The oil alert system shuts down the engine and the engine will not start. If this occurs,

first-check engine oil.
