Features and Controls
Read this Operator's Manual and safety rules before operating
your generator. Compare the illustrations with your generator, to
familiarize yourself with the locations of various controls and
adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.
A - Hour Meter — Displays and records how many hours your generator has
run (up to 9,999.9).
B - Start Switch — Turn key to START (
key to OFF (0) position to switch off engine.
C - Battery Float Charger Jack — Use battery float charger jack to keep the
starting battery charged and ready for use.
D - Choke Control — Used when starting a cold engine.
E - Main Breaker — The receptacles are provided with a rocker switch main
circuit breaker to protect the generator against electrical overload.
F - 220 Volt AC Outlets — May be used to supply electrical power for the
operation of 220 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical, lighting, appliance,
tool, and motor loads.
G - Circuit Breakers — The 220 Volt AC, 13 A receptacles are provided with
"push to reset" circuit breakers to protect the generator against electrical
overload.

R - Fuel Tank — Capacity of 28.4 liters (7.5 U.S. gallons).
Items Not Shown:
Engine Identification — Provides model, type and code of engine. Please
have these readily available if calling for assistance.
Identification Label — Provides model and serial number of generator.
Please have these readily available if calling for assistance.
Battery Charger Figure
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery charged and ready
for use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location, such as inside a
garage.
1. Plug charger into unit's battery float charger jack (5, C), which is located
on the control panel. Plug battery charger into a 220 Volt AC wall
receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when generator is being
started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in use to prolong
battery life. The charger has a built in float equalizer and will not
overcharge the battery, even when plugged in for an extended period of
time.
NOTICE See Battery Maintenance for additional information.

Operation
Starting the Engine Figure
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start
instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a flat, level surface.
NOTICE Failure to start and operate the unit on a flat, level surface will cause
the unit not to start or shut down during operation.
2. Turn fuel valve (5, P) to ON (I) position .
3. Pull choke control (5, D) out to close to CHOKE (
4A. For electric starting , turn and hold key in start switch (5, B) to START
(
) position until generator starts. To prolong the life of starter
components, DO NOT hold key in START (
seconds, and pause for at least 30 seconds between starting attempts.
•
If engine starts, proceed to step 6.
•
If engine fails to start, proceed to step 5.
NOTICE If battery is discharged, use manual starting instructions.
4B. For manual starting, turn key in start switch to RUN (I) position, grasp
recoil handle
(5,
N) and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then
pull rapidly one time only to start engine.
•
If engine starts, proceed to step 6.
•
If engine fails to start, proceed to step 5.
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.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
5. Push in the choke handle half way, turn key in start switch to RUN (I)
position and pull recoil handle twice or turn and hold key in start switch
to START (
) position as described in step 4A.
•
If engine fails to start, repeat steps 3 thru 4.
6. Open the choke gradually as the engine warms up by pushing in on the
choke handle.
NOTICE If engine floods, push choke handle all the way in and crank until
engine starts.
NOTICE If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil
level in crankcase. This unit is equipped with a low oil protection device. If so,
oil must be at proper level for engine to start.
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.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) of clearance on all sides of generator including
overhead.
• Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain
a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position
as the original parts.
Connecting Electrical Loads
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in accordance with
IEC 245-4 with the generator's 220 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.
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 220 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz
electrical loads.
