OperatiOn
6. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 12) to the
OpeN
position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 5.
7. Before the generator is placed into operation, run the
engine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells,
fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with lose
components.
8. Place idle control switch (Figure 15) in the
OFF
(down)
position. This will allow the engine speed to run at about
3600 RPM's.

NOTICE
Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position
(Figure 15) allows the engine to operate at a maximum
speed of about 3600 RPM's.
When the idle control switch (Figure 16) is placed in the
up position ( ON ), the generator will run at idle speed
(2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time the
engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as
a load is being applied.
When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop
back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
9. Place main circuit breaker (Figure 19) in the
ON
position.

ON
position.

and verify that 120 VAC is displayed. Using an external
voltmeter as shown in Figure 19, verify that 120 VAC
is present at the 120V twist-lock and GFCI duplex
receptacles. .
