• Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area,
even if door or windows are open.
• Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
• Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.

APPLYING LOAD

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full
capacity. Before starting the generator, disconnect all load.
Apply load only after generator is running. Voltage is
regulated via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct
output. Readjusting will void warranty.
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage
rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one
receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the
first two to three hours of operations).

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

1. Before stopping the engine, make sure all electrical loads
are unplugged from the panel.
2. Let the engine run for two minutes without load.
3. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
4. Do not leave the generator until it has completely
stopped.
5. Turn off the Propane cylinder fuel valve.
6. If a cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
7. If the generator will not be used again for an extended
time period, refer to the SERVICE AND STORAGE
section of this manual.
