OPERATING THE
GENERATOR

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the battery float charger
before starting the generator.
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.
IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level
surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during

operation.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 5).The
fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward
the ground) for fuel to flow.
Figure 5 — Fuel Valve
Fuel Valve is shown
in the On position
3. Start engine according to instructions given in the
engine operator's manual.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will
pull hand and arm toward engine faster than
you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in
and turned on.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a
level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.
This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device.
See engine operator's manual.
