§ Press the choke in completely after the engine is started.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before
troubleshooting in other areas.

Before using the device once it is connected, switch off the ECO switch.
8.2 High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburettor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always operate the generator at
altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these
carburettor modifications.
Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for
each 300m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be
greater than this if no carburettor modification is made.
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburator is jetted
for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine
damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
8.3 Generator use
8.3.1 Warning!
§ To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded.
Connect an electric conductor (cable) of at least 1.5mm² between the generator's ground
terminal and an external ground source.
§ Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a
qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the
utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact
the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
§ Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not
exceed the rated power. In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must
be considered.
§ Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
§ Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the damage to the
generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
§ Do not modify or use the generator for other purpose than it is intended for. Also observe
the following when using the generator.
- Do not connect generators in parallel.
- Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
§ When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a rubber sheathed flexible cable.
§ Limit length of extension cables: 60m for cables of 1.5mm2 and 100m for cables of
2.5mm2.
§ Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as distribution network.
