Optional Dolly Kit
An optional dolly kit is available for this engine generator
set. The dolly kit comes with instructions and parts list. After
installing the dolly kit, file the instructions and parts list in the
back of this manual for future reference.
INITIAL START UP
Use the following checklist to verify the correct preparation
of the engine generator before starting.
Before Starting always Check:
1. Engine oil, fill as required with correct grade and
quantity.
2. Fuel level, fill as required with clean fresh fuel.
3. Visually for loose parts.
STARTING
The throttle control on these generators is preset and locked
to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with no load speed set at
3720 RPM. Only a trained service technician should be
allowed to adjust this speed setting. See “Operating Speed”
section for additional information.
NOTICE: ENGINE START LOCKOUT
This unit will not start if it is low on oil. The lubricating
oil level must be at the full mark before the engine will
start and run.
Electric Starting - If the engine is cold and stiff or if the
battery is not fully charged, starting can be made easier by
slowly hand cranking the engine through the compression
stroke before pushing the starter switch. This permits the
starter to gain momentum before the heavy load of the
compression stroke occurs. This minimizes the drain on the
battery and improves the possibility of starting under such
adverse conditions. Always keep the battery charged, but
especially during cold weather operation.
1. Turn on the fuel supply (multi-turn valve).
2. Move the choke to the full "on" position. A warm
engine will require less choking than a cold engine.
3. Turn the key to the run position.
4. Push start switch to engage the starter. The starter life
is improved by using shorter starting cycles with time
to cool off between cranking cycles. Do not operate
the starter more than 15 seconds during each minute.
Repeat if necessary.
5. When the engine starts, open the choke gradually.
Manual Starting - Refer to the engine manual for additional
starting, operating, and stopping instructions.
1. Turn on the fuel supply (multi-turn valve).
2. Move the choke to the full "on" position. A warm
engine will require less choking than a cold engine.
3. Move the stop switch to the run position.
4. Grasp the starter rope and pull slowly until resistance
is felt. Then pull the cord rapidly to overcome
compression, prevent kickback and start the engine.
Repeat if necessary with the choke in run position.
5. When the engine starts move the choke to the run
position.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never permit the choke to remain on after the engine has
run for a short time. It is not necessary to choke the
engine when it is warm. Avoid over-choking.
STARTING HINTS
1. Cold weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected.
b. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
gasoline is blended to improve starting. Do not
use summer gasoline.
2. Hot weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected.
b. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using
gasoline left over from winter may cause the unit
to vapor lock.
c. DO NOT over-choke the unit.
STOPPING AND STORAGE
1. Depress the stop switch mounted on the front of the
engine housing to stop the engine.
2. Turn off the fuel shut-off valve.
3. Before extended storage (over 30 days) certain
precautions must be taken to ensure the fuel doesn’t
deteriorate and clog the fuel system. Note: The use
of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent,
will minimize the formation of gum deposits during
storage. Such an additive may be added to gasoline
in the engine’s fuel tank or to gasoline in a storage
container.
a. Remove the remaining fuel from the fuel tank.
b. Start the engine and allow it to run until all
the fuel in the carburetor and the fuel lines has
been used up and the engine stops.
c. While the engine is warm, drain the oil and
refill with fresh oil.
d. Remove the spark plug, pour approximately
1/2 ounce (15 cc) of engine oil into the cylinder
and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark
plug.
e. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder
head fins, blower housing, rotating screen and
muffler areas.
f. Store in a clean and dry area.
OPERATING SPEED
The engine-generator must be run at the correct speed in
order to produce the proper electrical voltage and frequency.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The output voltage should be checked to insure the
generator is working properly prior to connecting a load
to the generator. Failure to do so could result in damage
to equipment plugged into the unit and possible injury to
the individual.
All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is
applied. When the electrical load is connected to the
generator, the engine is more heavily loaded, and as a
result the speed drops slightly. This slight decrease in
speed, together with the voltage drop within the generator
itself, results in a slightly lower voltage when the generator
is loaded to its full capacity than when running no load. The
slight variation in speed also affects the frequency of the
output current. This frequency variation has no appreciable
effect in the operation of motors, lights and most appliances.
However, electronic equipment and clocks will be affected if
correct RPM is not maintained. See Load vs. Output chart.
