Pre-Start Checklist

1. Ensure generator is at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from
building or other equipment and not covered
with any material.
2. Refer to all warning labels prior to starting.
3. Check oil level using oil fill plug (N). Add oil if
low. Do not overfill.
4. Check fuel level indicator (L). Add fuel if low.
Stop refueling when indicator reaches F (full)
level. Check fuel system components and
lines for leaks. Never refuel while unit is
running.
5. Test GFCI receptacle (G).
6. Check that air cleaner components and all air
inlets are unobstructed, equipment covers,
and guards are in place and securely
fastened.
7. Ensure electrical devices (load) are not
connected to generator.
Starting
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while engine is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate engine with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: Auto Idle (I) switch must be in OFF
position when using electric devices
that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor or a submersible
pump. Auto Idle (I) controls engine
speed according to connected load.
Results are better fuel consumption
and less noise.
NOTE: Choke is not required to start a warm
engine. Push choke lever (P) in to
original position.

1. Turn main AC circuit breaker (A) OFF.
2. Turn Auto Idle (I) OFF (if equipped).
3. Turn Fuel (X) ON.
4. Turn engine to ON (J) and pull rope (or push
start button (J) for electric start).
5. Turn choke lever (P) OFF after engine is
warm.
If engine does not start, repeat operation until
engine starts by gradually opening choke.
Cold Weather Starting
1. Use proper oil for temperature expected.
2. Disengage all possible external loads.
3. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
fuel has higher volatility to improve starting.
Operation
Never plug a portable generator directly into
a building outlet.
If generator is used for standby power,
have a certified, licensed electrician install
an automatic transfer switch to prevent
inadvertent interconnection of standby and
normal sources of supply.
There is a permanent conductor between the
generator (stator winding) and the frame.
When running speed of generating set has
stabilized (approximately 3 minutes):
1. Check that circuit protectors (E) are pushed
in. Press if necessary.
2. Connect appliances to electrical sockets (C,
D & G) of generator.
3. Maintenance Minder (B) shows number of
hours that generator has worked.
Angle of Operation
Do not operate this engine exceeding maximum
angle of operation; see specification table.
Engine damage could result from insufficient
lubrication.
