specified in this manual.
Check the oil level before operation!

(6)
Throttle the engine to
full speed.
(7)
Turn the overload protector(s) to the ON position before turning on the vibrators. NOTE: Start
vibrators one at a time to avoid overloading the generator.
(8)
Always turn vibrators “on / off” with the vibrator switch…do not use the generator OVL’s
as the on / off device or slow down or shut off the generator without first turning “off” the
vibrators at the vibrator switch. Failure to do so can cause damage.
