GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
Connect a #10 AWG
groundingwire (not included) from
the generator grounding log on the
front of the generator to a
grounding rod (not included). The
grounding rod must be an earth-
driven copper or brass rod
(electrode) which can adequately
ground the generator.
(See Figure A).
PRE-START CHECKS:
1. Check to make sure the Engine
Power Switch is in its "OFF"
position. (See Figure C)
CAUTION! Your Warranty is VOID
if the Engine’s Fuel Tank is not
filled with the proper mixture (50:1)
of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle
oil before each use. Before each
use, check the fuel level. Do not
run the Engine with an improper
unleaded gasoline/2-cycle oil
mixture. Running the Engine with
an improper mixture WILL
permanently damage the Engine.
2.The Fuel Tank holds
approximately 1 gallon of fuel.
3. To obtain the proper gasoline
and 2-cycle oil mixture, mix 2.5
fluid ounces of 2-cycle oil with 1
gallon of unleaded gasoline into
an approved container. Then
slowly shake the container to
thoroughly mix the gasoline/2-
cycle oil.(See Figure B.)
4.Remove the Fuel Tank Cap
and check the fuel level. (See
Figure C.)
