WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
NOTE:
Keep choke knob in "START" position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke knob
to the "RUN" position for up to the next 3 pulls of the
recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air.
This will cause the engine not to start.
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. If so, oil must be at proper level
for engine to start.
Connecting Electrical Loads
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle
its full capacity. Before starting the generator,
disconnect all loads. Apply load only after generator
is running. Voltage is regulated via the engine speed
adjusted at the factory for correct output.
Re-adjusting will void warranty.
