Section 4: Operation

OPERATING THE

GENERATOR

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:

1.

Make sure unit is on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level
surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during
operation.
2.

Turn red fuel valve to “On” position (Figure 4).

3.

Start engine according to instructions given in engine
owner’s manual.

NOTE: If engine starts but fails to run, or if unit shuts
down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface
and check for proper oil level in crankcase.This unit may be
equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine
manual.

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after

starting.

• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,

single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex

receptacles.

• DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

• DO NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR. See “Don’t

Overload Generator”.

Stopping the Engine

1.

Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.

Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3.

Turn engine off according to engine owner’s manual.

4.

Turn red fuel valve to “Off” position.

Figure 4 — Fuel Valve

“Off”
Position

“On”
Position

• See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting

electrical loads.

• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for

operation.

• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator

before stopping generator.

Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.

CAUTION

• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

• Allow equipment to cool before touching.

• The generator must be at least 5 feet from structures having

combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.

• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for

adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.

• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law

(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be
maintained in effective working order.

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,
etc. can catch fire.

WARNING

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt

and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in

and turned on.

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will
pull hand and arm toward engine faster than
you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.

WARNING
