OPERATION
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
LPG
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. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob.
4. Turn the LPG fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Push the engine switch to the “ON” position.
6. RECOIL START: Move the choke lever to the “100%
Choke” detent position.
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke
lever to the “100% CHOKE” detent position.
7. PULL-TO-PRIME: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. Pull with
“100% Choke” 1-2 times until you feel a few
combustion pulses that indicates that the engine
momentarily started.
8. Move the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
9. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
10. If engine fails to start in 1-pull with choke in the
“RUN”, then move choke to “100% Choke” and
repeat the PULL-TO-PRIME step.
For LPG starting in cold ambient < 15°C (59°F)
Move the choke lever to “100% Choke” for recoil
start. To pull to prime for recoil start Pull with
“100% Choke” 1-3 times until you feel a few
combustion pulses that indicates that the engine
momentarily started.
NOTE
Starting the engine cont’d.
