Grounding the Generator (See fig 6)
The ground terminal located on the back of the generator frame must always be used
to connect generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects
to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure
proper connection. Grounding the generator protects you from electric shock that
results from a build up of static electricity or undetected ground faults.
WARNING!
•
Only operate generator on a level surface.
•
Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.
How to Start Engine (See fig 7-10)
•
Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.
•
Turn fuel valve to the "ON" position.
•
Slide the choke lever to the "Choke" position.
•
Push the engine ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
•
Pull recoil handle (starter cord) slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
•
Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the "Run"
position until the choke is fully slid to the "Run" position.
WARNING!
•
Always start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
•
Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
WARNING!
•
To avoid recoil, pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.
Pull cord recoils rapidly and pulls arm towards engine faster than you can let go which
could result in injury.
