LUbRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the crank
case with the proper amount and type of lubricant. (See the
accompanying engine manual for this information.) Your genera-
tor has been shipped from the factory
without lubricant in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without lubricant can damage the
engine.
Fill the engine with lubricant according to the engine man-
ual. For units with a dipstick, fill lubricant to the proper level.
Units without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening
of the lubricant fill.
LOw LUbRICANT ALERT SySTEM
Some units are equipped with a low lubricant alert system.
If the lubricant level becomes lower than required, the sensor will
activate a warning device or stop the engine. (See the accompa-
nying engine manual for more information.)
If generator shuts off and the lubricant level is within speci-
fications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle that
forces lubricant to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the lubricant level may not be sufficient
to deactivate low lubricant level switch. Make sure the sump is
completely full of lubricant.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline.
Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high octane
rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We recommend
always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the
formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel sta-
bilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the
gasoline in a storage container.
Do not use E85 fuel.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/4 inch
below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in
hot weather and prevent overflow.
STARTING THE UNIT
wARNING:
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury or death can result
from fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.
Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
Do not mix lubricant with gasoline.
Follow all instructions and warnings in the engine
manual.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during
shipment.
wARNING:
This generator must not be operated without all factory installed
heat shields in place. Failure to comply may cause the fuel
tank to overheat and result in personal injury from fire.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Check lubricant level and fuel.
Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.
Open fuel shut off valve.
Adjust choke as necessary.
Set the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Pull on the starter rope with fast steady pull. As the engine
warms up, readjust the choke.
DANGER:
Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area, even
if door or windows are open.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poisonous gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting
or death.
CAUTION:
Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each
initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize.
