Important; To Start The Engine; Stopping The Engine - Centurion 005577-1 El Manual Del Propietario

Operation
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room


for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel can overflow onto a HOT engine and cause
FIRE or EXPLOSION.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do
not use any gasoline with more than 10% ethanol added. Do not
use E85 gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to bottom
of screen filter. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 9).
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. See the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

2.7 TO START THE ENGINE

Never start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged into the receptacles AND
devices turned on.
• Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before
starting the engine.
• Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• Turn the Fuel Shut-off Valve to the ON position (Figure 10).
• Turn engine RUN/STOP switch to ON position (Figure 11).
• Pull engine CHOKE knob outward to FULL CHOKE position
(Figure 11).
• To start engine, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.
• When engine starts, move choke knob to 1/2-CHOKE position
until engine runs smoothly and then fully into RUN position. If
engine falters, move choke back out to 1/2-CHOKE position
until engine runs smoothly and then to RUN position.

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever
to FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the
Generator" carefully.

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move Run/Stop switch to OFF position.
• Close fuel valve.
