Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical bads from the generator. Use the

following start instruction steps by numerica order:

1. Mate sure unit is on a level surface,

IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level

surface wi I cause the unit not to start or shut down during
operation.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 4),The

See engine manual.

Connecting Electrical Loads

* •

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after

starting.

• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,

single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

• DO NOT connect 240 Volt bads to the 120 Vo t

receptacles.

• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.

• DO NOT connect SO Hz loads to the generats>r.

• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See

"Don’t Overbad Generator” on page 13.

1. Unp ug all e ectrical loads from generator panel

receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged in and turned on.

2.

Put idle control switch in “Off” position,

3.

Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds to stabilize

internal temperatures of engine and generator.

4. Turn engine off according to instructions given in

engine owner’s manual,

5.

Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only

run at its normal high governed engine speed when an

e ectrical load is connected.When an electrica load is

removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the

switch off, the engine wi I run at the normal high engine
speed. Always have the switch off when starting and
stopping the engine.

Charging a Battery___________________

Your generats>r has the capability of recharging a discharged

12 Vo t auts>motive or utility style storage battery. DO

NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries, DO NOT

use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battsry.

Ж

ancer

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas

diii'ing recharging.

Hydrogen gas stays near battery foi' a long time

after battery has been charged.

Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause
explosion.

You can be blinded or severely injured.

Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and Is

extremely caustic.

Contact wicli battery fluid will cause severe
chemical burns.

*;; DO;NOT ;allqw any open ;flame,;3park,; htsat;qr lit; cigarette

;;; during; and for several minutes after charging a battery,

•;; Wear; protecfyo gb^lesi rubber; apron, and rubber gloves.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

I. Check fuid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add

ONLY distilled vsiter to cover separators in battsry
ce Is. DO NOT use tap water.
