Break-in period

1. Breaking-in the engine will help to
ensure proper equipment and engine

if the engine is not broken in properly.
The first 20 hours of operation is the
break-in period.
2. During the first 3 hours of use:
• Do not apply a heavy load to the
equipment.
• Do not operate the engine at its

equipment operation

to power 110/120 volt ac tools and
equipment:
1. Prior to powering tools and equip-
ment, make sure the Generator's
rated watt age capacity (1000 W) is
adequate to supply all electrical loads
that the unit will power. If powering
exceeds the Generator's capacity, it
may be necessary to group one or
more of the tools and/or equipment
for connection to a separate Genera-
tor.
2. Start the Generator with no loads
attached. Once the Generator is
running, connect the Power Cords
of 110/120 volt AC tools and equip-
