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.
• For proper cooling, allow at least 3 feet (1 meter) of empty space
above and around the generator.
Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc.
Cooling holes are located on the control panel and the bottom of the

overheat and damage the engine, inverter, or windings.
