Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
–
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or
turned on.
3. Turn the fuel cap vent lever to the “ON” position.
4. Turn the fuel dial clockwise to the full “RUN” position.
5. Pull choke knob out to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
7. As engine warms up, push the choke knob in to the “RUN”
position.
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the
recoil cord. After first pull, press the choke knob in to the
“RUN” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too
much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to
the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
