OIL ALERT SYSTEM
This WINCO generator is equipped standard with
low oil shutdown systems. The Briggs and Stratton
engine uses an oil pressure switch system. This low
oil warning system will automatically stop the engine
before the oil level reaches a critical danger point.
This feature is designed to prevent costly repairs and
downtime.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Allowing the engine to shutdown repeatedly on
low oil level may cause excessive wear which can be
cumulative.
INITIAL START UP
The throttle control on these generators is preset and
locked to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with no
load speed set at 3690 RPM. Only a trained service
technician should be allowed to adjust this speed
setting.
NOTICE: ENGINE START LOCKOUT
This unit will not start if it is low on oil. The lu-
bricating oil level must be at the full mark before the
engine will start and run.
BASIC OPERATION
MANUAL STARTING (Gasoline only)
Refer to the engine manual for additional starting,
operating, and stopping instructions.
1. Check oil level. Refi ll as needed
2. Turn on the fuel supply, Ref “A
NOTE - There is a second fuel valve under the fuel
tank that is used when removing the tank. This valve
is normally left on.
3. Pull out the choke (Ref “B”) to the full “on”
position.
4 Turn the key to the run position, Ref “C”
5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt,
then pull briskly.
6. When the engine starts, open the choke
gradually.
7. The engine should promptly come up to
operating
speed.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
ELECTRIC STARTING (Gasoline only)
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, especially during cold weather
operation.
1. Check oil level, refi ll as needed
2. Turn on the fuel supply. Ref “A”
3. Move the choke to the full “on” position. A warm
engine will require less choking than a cold
engine. Ref “B”
4. Rotate the key switch (Ref “C”) briefl y to the
START position. 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.
6. The engine should promptly come up to
operating
speed.
