    BEFORE OPERATION ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED? Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. Knowledge Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself with the generator and its operation before you begin using it.
  • Page 25: Check The Engine

    BEFORE OPERATION To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine. Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
  • Page 26: Operation

    OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Before operating the generator for the first time, review chapters GENERATOR SAFETY (see page 6) and BEFORE OPERATION (see page 22). For your safety, do not operate the generator in an enclosed area such as a garage. Your generator’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
  • Page 27: Starting The Engine

    OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine. • Operating this generator less than 3 feet (1 meter) from a building or other obstruction can cause overheating and damage the generator.
  • Page 28 OPERATION 3. Make sure the Eco Throttle ECO THROTTLE SWITCH switch is in the OFF position, or more time will be required for warm-up. 4. To start a cold engine, move CHOKE LEVER the choke lever to the CLOSED position. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
  • Page 29 OPERATION 6. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance; then pull briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown. Direction to pull Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the generator. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
  • Page 30: Stopping The Engine

    OPERATION STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch to the OFF position securely. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure. 1. Turn off or disconnect all appliances that are connected to the generator.
  • Page 31 OPERATION 4. If two generators were connected for parallel operation, disconnect the parallel operation cable after stopping the engines if you do not wish to resume parallel operation. PARALLEL OPERATION CABLE (optional equipment) If the generator will not be used for a long period of time, refer to page 61 for information on Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor.
  • Page 32: Ac Operation

    OPERATION AC OPERATION Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sure that it is in good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for startup.
