GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — INITIAL START-UP ENGINE/OPERATION
6. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 11 ) to the "OPEN" position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 6.
7. Before the generator is placed into operation, run the engine
for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and
noises that would associate with lose components.
8. Place the idle control switch (Figure 14) in the "OFF"
(down) position. This will allow the engine run at speed
about 3600 RPM's

NOTE
will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that
time the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as
the load is being applied. When the load is not in use, the engine
speed will drop back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
9. Place the full power switch (Figure 15) in the "120V"
(Up) position.

10. Refer to the AC voltmeter (Figure 16) on the control
box. The voltage indicated on the voltmeter should be
120 VAC with no load applied.

Placing the idle control switch in
the down position allows the
engine to operate at a maximum
speed of about 3600 RPM's. When
the idle control switch is placed in
the up position (ON), the generator

11. If desired, verify with a voltmeter (Figure17) that 120
VAC is present at the GFCI receptacle and all three
twist-lock receptacles as shown below.

NOTE
12. Place the full power switch ( Figure 18) in the "240/
120V" (Down) position.
Figure 18. Full Power Switch (Down)
The 240V L14-20R receptacle
is not operational (no voltage)
when the full power switch is in
the 120V position. This receptacle
is active (voltage) only when the
full power switch is in the 240V
position.
