the “Choke” position.

NOTE: 

No choke is required on warm engines.  make

sure choke is in the “RUN” position on warm engine
starts.

On the engine there is a
ON/OFF switch located on
the front panel of the engine.
Place this switch to the "ON"
position.

rewind slowly.  Pull rope with a rapid full arm
stroke.  Let rope rewind slowly.  Repeat if neces-
sary.

5.

When engine starts, gradually move the choke to
the “RUN” position

IMPORTANT:  

Allow generator to run at no load for 5

minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and
generator to stabilize.

STOPPING ENGINE

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

1.

Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after
starting with no electrical load.

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent dam-
age to equipment:
2.

Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive
loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water
pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools.
Connect the items that require the most wattage
first.  See 

Wattage Calculation

Section in this

manual.

3.

Connect the lights next.

4.

Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last
equipment connected to the generator. Plug volt-
age sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, mi-
crowaves, ovens, computers, and cordless tele-
phones into a UL listed voltage surge protector,
then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector
to the generator.

Failure to connect and operate equipment in this
sequence can cause damage to equipment and
will void the warranty on your generator.
Follow the wattage calculation table in the
Wattage Calculation section of this manual.
Overloading the generator will cause power fluctu-
ations and can damage equipment and appli-
ances.
Porter-Cable Corporation will only be responsible
for damage to customer's equipment when the
generator is determined to be defective.  This
determination will only be made by an authorized
representative of Porter-Cable Corporation and
this decision will be final.  Porter-Cable
Corporation reserves the right to inspect the elec-
trical connections at the customer's site of opera-
tion and test the generator for proper operation
before any determination of liability is made.
Failure to maintain the equipment or wiring for
inspection will void any claim for damages by the
customer.  Porter-Cable Corporation will not be
responsible for equipment damaged as a result of
voltage surges, improper operation or improper
installation of the generator.
