ENGLISH
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 generator (stator winding) is isolated from the
frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin .
– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle
pin connection may not function properly .
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 .
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 .
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment .
CAuTION
OPERATION
Starting the Engine without Remote
1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator .
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on .
3 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position .
4 . Press the Battery Switch to “ON” .
5 . ELECTRIC START: Press and hold ignition switch in
the “Start” position until the engine starts . When
the engine starts release the ignition switch allowing
it to settle to the “Run” position . Holding down the
ignition switch for longer than 5 seconds can damage
the starter motor . If the engine fails to start after
5 seconds release the switch and wait at least 10
seconds before attempting to start the engine again .
6 . RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly .
Wireless Remote Start
Wireless remote starting is only possible
within 80 feet of
the generator .
Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke . The remote
system will automatically close and open the choke .
1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Press the Ignition Switch to “ON” .
3 . Press the Battery Switch to “ON” .
4 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position .
5 . To start the engine, press and release the “START”
button on the handheld Remote Control device . DO
NOT hold the button down, only press the button
once . The engine will attempt to start 6 times .
6 . A safety feature is provided which delays the
electrical power availability during starting mode .
The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds . The
delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator
if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during
engine startup .
7 . If the generator fails to start, see trouble shooting .
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
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,
or wet weather .
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet
conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution .
