A CAUTION:
To minimize gum deposits
in
your fuel system and to
insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from the
previous season.
A CAUTION:
Pressure can build up
in
the fuel tank. Allow the generator to
cool for at least
two
minutes before removing fuel cap.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure
in
the tank.
Electrical
devices
• Disconnect
all
electrical devices from the generator and switch
off the circuit breaker before start the engine.
• The generator may be hard to start with electrical devices.
Grounding
• The generator must be properly connected
to
an
appropriate
ground. It helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault
condition exists
in
the generator or
in
connected electrical
devices, especially with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also
helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up
in
ungrounded devices.
ADANGER:
Electric
Shock
Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in
electric
shock.
• A ground terminal on the frame
of
the generator has been
provided on the generator end. For remote grounding, connect
of
a length
of
heavy gauge (4mm
2
)
copper wire between the
generator ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground.
• The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts
of
this generator be
properly connected to
an
approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding
of
the unit.
We
strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified
electrician for grounding requirements
in
your area.
Starting
the
engine
1.
Perform OPERATING CHECKLIST (Page

2.
Turn fuel valve
to
the "ON" position.
ON
3.
Turn off AC breaker protector. (If it is not equipped with AC
breaker protector, please remove all loads or electrical devices)
4.
Pull the choke valve switch to "CLOSE" position.

A CAUTION:
Choke position for starting may vary depending upon
temperature and other factors. If re-starting a warm engine,
the choke should be left
in
the HALF
or
CLOSE position.
5.
Electric start: Turn and keep the key
to
"START" position till the
engine is started. After the engine
is
started, release the key to
return to
"ON" position.

Manual start: Turn the switch to "ON" position and then seize
the starter handle and slowly pull until there is a sense
of
resistance felt, and quickly pull
to
start.
Manual start
A WARNING:
KICKBACK
Rapid retraction
of
the starter cord will pull your hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go.
Accidental starts can result
in
entanglement, traumatic
amputation or laceration.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises
or
sprains could result.
• If the starter fails
to
start the engine, immediately turn off the
starter. Don't attempt to restart the engine before the failure
cause is identified. Don't restart the engine by replacement
of
other storage battery without authorization.
A CAUTION:
If the engine fails to start after attempt for 3 times
or
flames out
after starting, inspect and ensure that the generator
is
placed
in
horizontal surface and enough engine oil is included.
During starting, don't keep the starting switch to "start" position
for more than 5 seconds, otherwise it
is
possible
to
damage the
starter motor. If the unit fails
to
start within first time, restart after
about 10 seconds. After the unit
is
used for a period, if the starting
speed
of
the motor falls, please replace the storage battery.
During the operation
of
the unit, the storage battery supplies
power for the solenoid valve
of
the carburetor. For this, when the
unit
is
turned off, make sure that the starting switch
is
in
" OFF"
position and otherwise the storage battery voltage is reduced
due to the operating solenoid valve
of
the carburetor, impacting
on starting for next time.
If the engine is equipped with
an
engine oil alarm, it
is
possible
to
prevent engine start when the engine oil
in
the crankcase is
lower than minimum level.
During running-in, routinely inspect the engine oil. See
Maintenance section for recommended maintenance period.
