OPERATION

• Only operate generator on a level surface.
• Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.
WARNING!
Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
• To avoid recoil, pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
WARNING!
Pull cord recoils rapidly and pulls arm towards engine faster than you can let go which
could result in injury.
• Always start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
• Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
WARNING!
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.
Grounding the Generator (See fig
3
)
The ground terminal located on the front panel of the generator must always be used
to connect generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects
to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure
proper connection. Grounding the generator protects you from electric shock that
results from a build up of static electricity or undetected ground faults.

How to Start Engine (See fig
4
-
7
)
•
Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads
MUST
be disconnected from generator.
•
Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position. (See fig
4
)
Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig
5
)
SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
For manual start, turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil handle (starter cord) slowly
until
resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. (See fig
6
)
•
Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”
position until the choke is fully slid to the “RUN” position. (See fig
7
)
