GROUNDING
WARNING! BEFORE STARTING, YOUR GENERATOR MUST BE GROUNDED!
Before operating make sure to ground the generator. A ground terminal (A) Fig.4 identified
by the ground symbol can be found on the front control panel of the generator, attach a
metal spike to a wire, attach the wire to the ground terminal and ground the metal spike
into the earth. Your local electrical company or certified electrician should be able to help
you with this information. See Fig.4.
STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
WARNING! Do not adjust or attempt maintenance of engine without
consulting an authorized service center. Never run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas!
Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before attempting to start generator!
To safely start your generator, follow each step below.
Note: No choke is required on warm engines, simply place the dial to the "on" position and start generator. Pull the recoil starter handle until re-
sistance is felt, then pull it out with a rapid full arm stroke. Let the starter rope rewind slowly, repeat if necessary. Allow generator to run at no load
for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize. IF ENGINE OIL LEvEL IS TOO LOW, ENGINE WILL NOT
START. CHECK OIL LEvEL AND ADD IF NECESSARY.
On initial starts or seasonal starts, it may be necessary to pull the recoil starter a few times in order for the fuel to reach the carburetor.
