ENGLISH
Starting the Engine Cont'd.
6. Turn the engine switch to the "On" position.
7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly.
8. As engine warms up, push the choke lever in to the
"Run" position.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not stay running make
certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that
will prevent the engine from running when the oil
level falls below a critical threshold.

Economy Control Switch

The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to
minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the
unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing
the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The
engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine
runs at normal speed continuously.
WARNING
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF.

Connecting Electrical Loads

1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
NOTE
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company's power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator's electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
WARNING
Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the
12V DC outlet.
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause
serious injury or death.
WARNING
While charging a device do no place on the exhaust
side of the generator. Extreme heat caused by
exhaust can damage the device, and cause a
potential fire hazard.
