Note: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls, move the
choke lever to "Run Position" and pull starter rope
again.
Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to "Full Choke" and repeat starting
instructions.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
• Turn "Off" the idle control switch if on.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and
generator.
• Move Run/Stop switch to "Stop" position.
• Close fuel valve.
OPERATING AUTOMATIC IDLE CONTROL
This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy. When this switch is turned "On", the engine
will only run at its normal high governed engine speed
when an electrical load is connected. When an
electrical load is removed, the engine will run at a
reduced speed. With the switch "Off", the engine will
run at the normal high engine speed. Always have the
switch off when starting and stopping the engine.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN
SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor
that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil
pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts down
by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.
Initial Start-up
A delay built in the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the
engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil
pressure.
Sensing Low Pressure
If the system senses low oil pressure during operation,
the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the
low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has
stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.
Restarting
If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after
it shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system
needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.
If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and
have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine
runs for about 10 seconds as described above and
then stops.

CHARGING A BATTERY
Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. Do not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries. Do not use the unit to crank an engine
having a discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,
add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in
battery cells. Do not use tap water.
• If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make
sure they are installed and are tight.
• If necessary, clean battery terminals.
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to
panel receptacle identified by the words "12 VOLT
D.C."
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with red
handle to the positive (+) battery terminal
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black
handle to the negative (-) battery terminal.
