Starting
the Engine
,_
WARNING!
Never run engine indoors or in
enclosed poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly
gas.
_
CAUTION!
Temperature of muffler and nearby
areas may exceed 150°F(65°C). Avoid these areas.
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator receptacles
before starting the engine.
• Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• Set the engine control switch to "Start."
• Press primer three (3) times wait about two (2) seconds
between each push. In cold weather (50°F/10°C or
below) push five (5) times.
• Grasp starter grip and pull slowly until you feel some
resistance. Then pull cord out with rapid full arm stroke.
Let rope return slowly. Do Not let rope "snap back"
against starter.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after three (3) pulls, press
primer two (2) times and pull starter rope again.
Connecting
Electrical
Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
• Do Not connect 240 Volt loads to the generator.
• Do Not connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generators.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD
THE GENERATOR.
Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of alt loads to be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. See "Don't
Overload the Generator" on page 8.
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 engine control switch to "Stop."
RECEPTACLES
120 Volt, 20 Amp
Receptacles
Eachof these receptacles is protected against overload by
push-to-reset type circuit breakers. Use each receptacle to
operate 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single phase loads at 20 Amps of
current (Figure 5).
,_
CAUTION!
Although each outlet has a rating of
120Volts at 20 Amps (up to 4,800 watts), the
generator is only rated for 3,000 Watts. Powering
loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of
the generator can damageit or cause serious
injuries.
