To Start The Engine; To Power 120 Volt Ac Tools And Equipment - Chicago Electric 94678 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

to start the engine:

1. Make sure the electrical tools/equipment that will be used are not plugged in to
the Generator.
2. Turn on the Fuel Valves (9a, 81). Turn the Valve (9a) under the fuel tank to the
vertical ON position and swing the Valve (81) on the carburetor behind the Air Filter
right to the ON position.
3. Close the Choke Control (80), swinging it to the left.
4. Turn the ON/OFF Switch (52a) to its "ON" position.
5. Hold the Start Handle (64) loosely and pull it slowly several times to allow the gaso-
line to flow into the Engine's carburetor. Then hold the Start Handle firmly and pull
the rope hard and fast. Pull the rope all the way out, using two hands if necessary.
If necessary pull the rope several times until the Engine starts. The red Pilot Lamp
(56a) will illuminate while the generator is able to supply power.
6. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Open the Choke Control (80) swing-
ing it to the right.
to power 110/120 Volt ac tools and equipment:
prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator's rated watt-
1.
age capacity (1000 w) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit
will power. If powering exceeds the Generator's capacity, it may be necessary
to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate
Generator.
2. Only start the Generator with no loads attached. Once the Generator is running,
simply connect the Power Cords of 110/120 volt AC powered tools and equipment
into the 110/120 volt AC Outlets (54a).
note: The Generator features an AC Circuit Protector (53a) to protect the AC
circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur the Breaker will "trip" to
its "off" position, causing the Generator to automatically shut down and the Pilot
Light (56a) on the control panel will shut off to show that the Circuit Protector (53a)
has been tripped. For details on preventing this problem, refer to Step #1 above in
this section. Then, reset the circuitry system by pressing on the Circuit Protector.
3. When finished using the Generator, turn the ON/OFF Switch (52a) to its "off"
position. Turn the Fuel Valves (9a, 81) to their "off" positions. Then, disconnect
all electrical powered tools and equipment from the Generator's 110/120 volt AC
Outlets (53a).
4. After the Engine and Generator have completely cooled, store the Generator in a
safe, clean, dry location (if not already installed in one).
