1.6.5 EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE PERIOD

For nonhandled engines the Emissions Compliance
Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance
Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal
emission requirements.
• For engines less than 225 cc displacement,
Category C=125 hours, B=250 hours, and A=500
hours.
• For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C=250
hours, B=500 hours, and A=1000 hours.

GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator
control panel (Figure 2.1):

2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start-
ed in more than two weeks), you must press this
switch for approximately ten seconds to bring fuel
from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type
switch springs back into its original position when
you release it.

2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the
START position. Release the switch when the engine
starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold
the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts
off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

2.1.3 7.5 AMP FUSE

The fuse protects the engine's DC control circuit
against electrical overload. If the fuse element has
melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be
cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an
identical 7.5 amp replacement fuse.

2.1.4 LINE BREAKERS

Protects generator's AC output circiut against
overload, i.e., prevents
wattage/amperage capacity. The circuit breaker rat-
ings are as follows:

START BUTTON LONGER THEN 15 SECONDS PER ATTEMPT.
2.2 OPTIONAL REMOTE
START/STOP PANEL
A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is
available that allows you to start and stop the gener-
ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The
remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourme-
ter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.

AUTOMATIC CHOKE

This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that
consists of two main components: a choke solenoid
and prechoke.

2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at
START), a solid-state choke module signals the
choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke
off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus
opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only
when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts,
the choke stops cycling.
