Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that
all instructions given in previous sections have been
followed completely.

Check oil and fuel levels.

Turn the fuel valve under the fuel tank on.

Turn the fuel valve on the front of the engine on,
where applicable.

Move the choke lever on the front of the engine on.
Note: the choke may not be required when the engine
is warm or in high ambient temperatures.

Turn idle-control On/Off switch OFF where applicable.
RECOIL START

Move engine On/Off switch to On position.

Slowly pull recoil cord until resistance is felt and then
pull firmly. Let the recoil rewind slowly to avoid
damage.
ELECTRIC START

Move engine On/Off switch to On position.

Turn and hold the On/Off switch in the Start position
until the engine starts and release. Note: If the engine
does not start after 5 seconds, stop and wait 10
seconds and repeat this step.
CAUTION: This S5500 generator is equipped with an oil
protection system. When oil levels are too low for safe
operation the engine will shut down and/or will not start
until the oil level is corrected.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET
Unplug all appliances and let the engine run unloaded for
a couple of minutes. Turn the fuel valve on the front of the
engine to the Off position. Turn the engine On/Off switch
to the Off position. Turn the fuel valve on the bottom of the
fuel tank Off. CAUTION: Never use the choke to stop the
engine.
GENERATOR APPLICATION
WHAT IS A GENERATOR
A generator is basically a prime mover, typically a
gasoline or diesel engine, coupled to an alternator to
produce electricity. It is very useful as a substitute power
source during power outages or as the primary source in
remote locations where power is not available.
Generators are essential for people such as contractors
or farmers who are always in need of portable power.
They are also very convenient for recreational use.
SELECTING A GENERATOR
Selecting the proper generator is important. A generator
that is too small for your application will not run all of the
equipment needed. A generator that is too large will cost
more and if never used to its potential the money is
wasted. The correct size generator is determined by
totaling the wattage requirements of the items to be used
simultaneously, determine additional starting wattage
requirements and total these numbers. Select a generator
with a continuous rating that exceeds this by about 20%
to allow for expansion. See the table in the section titled
“
Generator Set Overload
”
for some wattage guidelines of
common equipment.
RATED vs. SURGE WATTS
Rated, or continuous, watts are the watts an item needs
as it is running.
Surge, or maximum, watts are the watts an item needs to
start. This is typically 2-4 times the rated watts.
This information is typically provided on the
manufacturer
’
s nameplate. If watts are not provided, it
can be calculated using the formula: Watts=Amps x Volts.
EXTENSION CORDS
An extension cord should always be in good condition
with no damage to the wires or sheathing. Never run an
extension cord through water. The correct wire size for an
extension cord can be determined from the table that
follows.

LOADING YOUR GENERATOR SET
With reference to the Receptacle details section, please
review the power receptacles fitted to your generator. The
circuit breaker rating and the generator rating drive the
actual load that may be pulled from each receptacle. The
ratings shown in the table are the maximum available from
each receptacle. DO NOT EXCEED THE INDIVIDUAL
RECEPTACLE RATINGS AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE
BELOW. DO NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL GENERATOR
RATING SHOWN IN TABLE 2 PERFORMANCE
SPECIFICATIONS. All generator units are equipped with
a thermal-magnetic main circuit breaker as well as a
“
PUSH TO RESET
”
breaker on branch circuits.
