STARTING AND STOPPING
Check engine oil before starting
1. Remove the load by unplugging any plugs from receptacles.
2. Move the “OFF-ON” switch to “ON” position.
3. Move choke lever to the “CHOKE” position (see illustration).
4. Grasp starter firmly and pull slowly until resistance is felt.
Then pull rapidly. If engine fails to start on first pull, open
choke slightly and repeat.
5. When engine starts, open choke gradually to the “RUN”
position.
6. To stop: Move “OFF-ON” switch to “OFF” position.
OPERATION
CABLE SIZE
Equipment damage can result from low voltage. To prevent
excessive voltage drop between the generator and the equip-
ment, the cable or extension cord should be adequate for the
length used.
LOAD APPLICATION
The continuous duty rating should not be exceeded for long
periods of time. Always be sure that the voltage, amperage and
frequency requirements of the equipment to be used can be
satisfied by the generator. To avoid damage, the generator
should not be operated at the intermittent rating for more than 10
minutes out of every hour.
CONTROL PANEL
The generator is equipped with one 120 volt 15 amp, parallel slot,
U-ground, NEMA 5-15R duplex receptacle and one resettable
thermal type circuit breaker. The circuit breaker protects against
severe overloads or short circuits. If the circuit breaker trips, the
cause should be determined and corrected prior to continuing
use.
NEVER EXCEED THE RATING OF A RECEPTACLE.
NOTE:
If the engine is warm, set choke to "RUN" position.

MAINTENANCE
ENGINE:
See Engine Manual for Maintenance Procedures.
GENERATOR:
Keep all air vents clear.
Keep clean.
Periodically check all fasteners and tighten.
STORAGE
When the generator is not used for a long period, it should be
stored properly. Before storing, proceed as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank completely.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until fuel in the carburetor
and fuel lines have been used.
3. Remove the spark plug and put 3 to 5 cc of oil into the spark
plug hole in the cylinder head.
4. Install the spark plug and slowly pull the starter handle a few
times to distribute the oil.
5. Retighten all bolts and nuts.
6. Clean the exterior surface of the generator and apply a rust
inhibitor.
7. Store the generator in a dry, well ventilated place.
