Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator: · Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock. ·If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
AC OPERATION 1. Start the engine (see page 16). 2. Switch ON the AC circuit breaker. 3. Plug in the appliance . NOTICE ·Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the engine switch immediately.
CHECK ENGINE OIL NOTICE Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not recommended. Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface and the engine stopped.
CHECK 1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean. 2. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in. 4. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.

It will also help reduce air pollution. WARNING Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause malfunction in with you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be preformed by any engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are “certified” to EPA standards. MAINTENANCE Maintenance Safety Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we can not warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance.
Page 27
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching. MAINTENANCE ----Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so. ·Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required. ·To reduce the possibility of fire of explosion.
MAINTENANCE Emission Control System Information Soured of Emissions The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight, Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Page 29
MAINTENANCE Problems That May Affect Emissions If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer. ·Hard starting or stalling after starting. ·Rough idle. ·Misfiring or backfiring under load. ·Afterburning(backfiring). ·Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
