OPERATION/
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
• Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running
under load during use. For example, a 5000 watt generator can
power a 1,800 to 4,000 watt electrical tool.
• Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a
very large force to start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal running
wattage in order to start. For example, a 5,000 watt generator
would only be able to drive a 1,000 to 7,000 watt pump.
If an electric motor fails to start or reach running speed, turn off
the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage.
Always check the requirements of the tool or appliance being
used compared to the rated output of the generator.
Stopping The Generator
1. Turn off the power switch of the electric equipment and unplug the
cord from receptacle of the generator.
2. Allow the engine several minutes to cool down and to stabilize the
internal temperatures of the engine and generator before stopping.
3. Twist the engine key to the OFF position.
4. Push the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Oil Sensor
The oil sensor detects a drop in oil level in the crankcase and
automatically stops the engine when the oil level drops below a
predetermined level.
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down the
engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified level. If
the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline,
check the engine oil level.
DO NOT remove oil sensor probe when refilling with oil.
Remove oil filler cap on the opposite side of carburetor.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 86 octane
of gasoline is acceptable. For the emissions to be compliant, a high
altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment
will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption,
and increased emissions. See an authorized dealer for high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes
below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not
recommended.
