ENGINE KEY
To start and stop the engine.
Key position:
I (On): To run the engine after starting
O (OFF) To stop the engine. The Key can be removed / inserted.
Recoil Starter
To start the engine, lightly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
WARNING! Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the starter. When starting the engine by recoil starter, set the key switch to the (ON) position, and pull the
starter handle.
FUEL VALVE LEVER
The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the
fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position after stopping then engine.
CHOKE ROD
The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold
engine. It can be opened and closed by manually operating the choke rod.
Pull out the choke rod to the
(CLOSED) position to enrich the mixture
for cold starting.
GROUND TERMINAL
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of
the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle.
DC RECEPTACLE
The DC receptacle may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. The battery must be
connected to the generator's DC receptacle with the proper polarity (battery positive (+) to the generator positive,
and battery negative (-) to the generator negative).
WARNING! Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the generator is running.
The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.
DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC charging
circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or when the battery and the generator are
improperly connected.
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
stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the I (ON) position). The oil alert system should not take the
place of checking the oil level before each use. If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level
before troubleshooting other areas.
