STARTING THE GENERATOR
CAUTION: This product contains, or pro-
duces chemistries when it is used, known by
the Californian state that cause cancer, severe
defects of birth or other damages.
All engines exhaust carbon monoxide, a dead-
ly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion and
eventually death.
The carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which may be present even if you
do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can lay for hours or
day in inclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
If you experience any symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi-
ately, get fresh air and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT. To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
NEVER run engine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open
windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
NEVER run engine in poorly-ventilated or par-
tially enclosed areas such as barns, garages,
basements,carports, under dwellings or pits.
NEVER run engines outdoors where engine

exhaust can be dawn into a building through
openings such as windows and doors
STARTING THE UNIT
WARNING: Gasoline is very dangerous. Seri-
ous injury or death may result from fire caused
by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
1. Do not fill the fuel tank with the engine run-
ning.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 2 minutes be-
fore filling the tank.
3. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.

2. Open the fuel cock.
3. Set the choke lever
to
"CLOSE"
(arrow

if the engine is warm.
4. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance
is felt. This is the "Compression" point. Return
the handle to its original position and pull
swiftly. Do not fully pull out the rope. After
starting. Allow the starter return to its origi-
nal position while still holding the handle. If
the engine fails to start after several attempts,
repeat above procedures with choke lever re-
turned "OPEN" position.
5. After the engine started, return the choke
lever gradually to "OPEN" position.
6. Warm up the engine without load for a few
minutes.
CAUTION: Allow generator to run at no load
for five minutes after each initial start-up to
permit engine and generator to stabilize.
DANGER: Provide adequate ventilation for
toxic exhaust gases and cooling air flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in an en-
