Choke lever to "Full" choke
position.
"Full" Choke
Position
• For electric
starting:
Press start switch on
generator cradle until engine cranks. Keep pressing
until it starts.
• For manual
starting:
Grasp starter grip and pull
slowly until you feel some resistance. Then pull cord
out with rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return slowly.
Do Not let rope "snap back" against starter.
• When engine starts, move choke lever to
"Half" choke position until the engine runs smoothly
and then to "Run" position. If engine falters, move
choke lever to "Half" choke position until the engine
runs smoothly and then to "Run" position.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls (or
15 seconds cranking), move the choke lever to "Run"
position and pull starter rope again (or press starter).
NOTE: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to "Full" choke and repeat starting
instructions.
STOPPING
THE ENGINE
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles.
Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
• Turn "Off" the Idle Control switch (if On).
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and
generator.
• Move Run/Stop switch to "Stop"
position.
• Close fuel valve.
IMPORTANT:
Do Not overload the generator. Also,
Do Not overload individual panel receptacles. These
outlets are protected against overload with push-to-
reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any
circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't
Overload the Generator" on page 12 carefully.
AUTOMATIC
IDLE CONTROL
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy. When this switch is turned "On," the engine
will only run at its normal fast governed engine speed
when an electrical load is connected. When the load is
removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With
the switch "Off," the engine runs at the normal fast
engine speed all the time. Always
have the switch
OFF when starting
and stopping
the engine.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system. In an emergency, use the
original shipping box as a temporary shelter:
• Cut off all flaps and one of the long sides of the box
to expose exhaust side of unit. Cut appropriate slots
to access receptacles of unit and clear handle.
Wind
• Start unit, then place box over it. Ensure a minimum
of two feet clearance between open side of box and
nearest object.
IMPORTANT!:
Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator.
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed,
with two feet clearance between open side of box and
nearest object. Face exposed end away from wind
and elements, as shown.
