Engine switch (9):
To start and stop the engine
Switch position:
OFF or STOP: to stop the engine. Key can be removed
EN
/ inserted.
ON: to run the engine after starting.
START (GN-5500B; GN-6500B): to start the engine
by turning the starter motor. Return the key to the "ON"
position once the engine has started. Do not use the
starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine
fails to start, release the switch and wait 10 seconds
before operating the starter again.
Recoil starter (10)
To start the engine pull the recoil starter lightly until
resistance is felt then pull briskly.
NOTICE: do not allow the recoil starter to snap
back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent
damage to the recoil starter.
Fuel valve (11)
The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and
carburetor.
When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed
to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to
return the lever to OFF after stopping the engine.
Choke rod (13)
The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture
when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and
closed by operating the choke rod manually, moving the
rod toward CLOSED to enrich the mixture.
Ac circuit breaker (6)
The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator
at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF
automatically, check that appliance is working properly
and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the
circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again.
Ground terminal (5)
The generator ground terminal is connected to the
frame of the generator, the metal non-current carrying
parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each
receptacle.
To prevent electric shock due to defective connected
appliances, the generator must be grounded with a
fixed system by means of the ground terminal (5).
Oil alert system
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the
crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall
below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically

shut down the engine (the engine switch (9) will remain
in the on position).
Pilot lamp (14)
(GN-2200B;
GN-6500B)
The pilot lamp is illuminated when the generator is
operating normally.
DC output terminal (4)
The DC terminal may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt
automotive type batteries.
For connect the battery to the generator is necessary
to use the relevant cable. The cable clamps must be
connected to the battery terminals with the proper
polarity (red clamp to battery positive terminal and black
clamp to battery negative terminal).
DC circuit protector (3)
The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the
DC battery charging circuit when the generator is
overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery
or the connections between the battery and generator
are improper.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connections to a building's electrical system
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical
system must be made by a qualified electrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power from utility
power, and must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
In some areas, generators are required by law to be
registered with local utility companies. Check local
regulations for proper registration and use procedures.
Generator ground system
IVT gasoline generators have a system ground that
connects generator frame components to the ground
terminals (5) in the AC output receptacles (1). The

WARNING!
Improper
to a building's electrical system can
allow electrical current from the
generator to backfeed into the utility
lines. Such backfeed may electrocute
utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power
outage. When utility power is restored,
the generator may explode, burn, or
cause fires in the building's electrical
system. Consult the utility company
or a qualified electrician.
