OPERATION
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to
minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the
unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing
the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The
engine speed automatically returns to normal when an
electrical load is connected. When the economy switch is
off, the engine runs at normal operating speed.
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF.
WARNING
If the engine starts but does not continue to run
make certain that the generator is on a flat, level
surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
NOTE
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
Keep choke in “Choke” position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, push choke
in for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
Too much choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly.
7. As engine warms up, push the choke lever in to the
“Run” position.
