Operation
Generator Location
Please consult your local authority. In some
areas, generators must be registered with
the local utility.
Generators used at construction sites may be
subject to additional rules and regulations.
This generator must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material. Leave
at least three feet of clearance on all sides of
the generator to allow for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT place the generator near vents or
intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn
into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully
consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the
frame to the ground terminals on the power
panel. The system ground is connected to
the AC neutral wire.
Surge Protection
CAUTION
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
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.
1.
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.
2.
Obtain an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) device.
Most UPS devices come with a
rechargeable battery between the
electronic equipment and power supply
source. The device buffers the voltage
and protects 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 valve to the “On” position.
4.
Flip the engine switch to the “On”
position.
5.
Move the choke lever to the “Choke”
position.
6.
Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly
7.
As engine warms up, move the choke
lever to “Run”.
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.
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 120/240
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.
