OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from
building or trailer walls, vehicles, trailers, boats, 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, obstruction, or
when it is in an enclosure, a storage or security compartment/bay, 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.
• Since the CO-MINDER may detect the carbon monoxide concentration and the
engine may stop automatically, pay attention to the direction of exhaust and
where the generator is located (see page 26).
Refer to "SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS" on page 43 and perform the "IS YOUR
GENERATOR READY TO GO?" checks (see page 38).
Refer to "AC OPERATION" (see page 53) or "DC OPERATION" (see page 58) for
connecting loads to the generator.
