Step 3: Generator Start up Figure
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use
the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.
NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface
may cause the unit to shut down.
2. Rotate fuel valve (N) to ON (I) position.
3. Move choke lever (L) to CHOKE (
NOTICE For a warm engine, be sure choke lever is in
RUN ( ) position.
4. Set engine switch (B) to ON (I) position.
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.
5. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.
6. As engine warms up, slowly move choke lever to
RUN ( ) position
NOTICE This unit is equipped with a low oil protection
device. Oil must be at proper level for engine to run. If
the engine oil drops below a preset level, an oil switch
will stop the engine. Check oil level with dipstick.
WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could
ignite combustibles, structures or damage
fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death
or serious injury. Contact with muffler area could cause
burns resulting in serious injury. Pay attention to the
warnings on the generator. Do not touch hot parts and
avoid hot exhaust gases.

Generator may only be loaded up to rated power under
the rated conditions as shown on unit data tag. Reduce
load when using generator outside of rated conditions.
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in
accordance with IEC 245-4 with the generator's 230 Volt
AC outlets. Inspect extension cables before each use.
Check that all extension cables are suitably rated and

are not damaged. When using extension cords under 40°
C, the total length of cords for a cross section of 1.5 mm²
should not exceed 50 m or for a cross section of 2.5 mm²
should not exceed 80 m.
including cables and plug connections, should not be
defective.
NOTICE Ensure main breaker (D) (6200A ONLY) is in
ON (I) position. Connect electrical loads in off position
then turn on for operation.
230 Volt AC Receptacle
Use receptacle (E) to operate 230 Volt AC, single-phase,
50 Hz electrical loads. The receptacle is protected
against overload by a push-to-reset circuit breaker (C).
Protection of electrical components depends on circuit
breakers specifically matched to the generator. Replace
circuit breaker with identical rating and performance
characteristics.
receptacles. Do not use generator with electrical cords
which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged. Do
not operate generator in the rain or wet weather. Do not
handle generator or electrical cords while standing in
water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. Do
not allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator. Keep children a safe distance from
generator.
Step 5: Generator Shut Down
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from generator
2. Let engine run at no-load for one minute to stabilize
3. Push engine switch to OFF (0) position.
4. Rotate fuel valve to OFF (0) position.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury. Electrical equipment,
