NOTE: If engine still fails to start after 3 pulls, check for
proper oil level in crankcase.This unit is equipped with a
low oil device. See engine manual.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more
detailed starting instructions.
Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 VottAC,
single phase,60 Hz electrical loads.
• DO NOT connect 240Vott loads to the 120Volt duplex
receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOADTHE GENERATOR. See
"Don't Overload the Generator" on page I I.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles,NEVER start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move the engine switch to "Off' position.
• Move the fuel valve to the "Off' position.
Operating Automatic Idle Control
This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only
run at its normal high governed engine speed when an
electrical load is connected.When an electrical load is
removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the
switch off, the engine will run at the normal high engine
speed. Always have the switch off when starting and
stopping the engine.
Charging a Battery
_ ARNING! Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas while recharging.An explosive mixture
will remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged.The slightest spark can ignite
the hydrogen and cause an explosion, resulting in
blindness or other serious injury.
_ ARNING! DO NOT permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat around a
battery.Wear protective goggles,rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If
spill occurs flush area with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO
NOT use the unit to charge any 6Volt batteries. DO NOT
use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
To recharge 12Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells.
DO NOT use tap water.
• If the battery isequipped with vent caps,make sure they
are installed and are tight.
• If necessary,clean battery terminals.
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle identified by the words "12-VOLTS D.C".
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to
the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 7).

12 VOLT BA'n'ERY
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle
to the negative (-) battery terminal (Figure 7).
• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges.
• When battery has charged, shut down engine
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state
of chargeand condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer'sinstructions carefully.Generally,a battery is
considered to be at 1(30°/o state of chargewhen specificgravity
of its fluid (as measuredby hydrometer) is 1.260or higher.
