CAUTION
Allow the generator to run for 5 minutes each
time it is restarted before applying load. This
will let the engine and generator stabilize.
DANGER
 Provide adequate ventilation for
toxic exhaust gases and cooling air
flow.
 Do not start or run the generator in
and enclosed area, even if windows
or doors are open.
 Engines give off carbon monoxide, a
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
 Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting or death.
Applying Load
 This generator has been pre-tested and adjusted
at the factory to handle its rated load.
 Apply load only after the generator is running
and has warmed up for 5 minutes.
 Voltage is regulated by the speed of the engine
which is adjusted at the factory for correct out-
put. Readjusting will void the warranty.
