BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
BEFORE ADDING ENGINE OIL, REVIEW
SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY
SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the
engine. You must add engine oil before starting
the inverter for the first time. See Initial Oil Fill on
page 12 for instructions on checking engine oil
level and the procedure for adding engine oil.
BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
For proper starting and operation of the inverter,
make sure you review the inverter features and
their descriptions starting on page 8.
Before attempting to start the inverter, verify the
following:
・ The engine is filled with engine oil (see Figure 4:
Engine Oil Correct Level on page 12).
・ The inverter is situated in a proper location
(see Location Selection on page 10).
・ The inverter is on a dry surface (see Weather
and Dry Surface on page 10).
・ All loads are disconnected from the inverter
(see No Connected Loads on page 10).
・ The inverter is properly grounded (see Grounding
the Inverter on page 10)
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE INVERTER,
REVIEW THE SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5,
AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING SAFETY MESSAGES.
7. Allow oil to completely drain.
8. Fill crankcase with oil following the steps outlined
in Adding Engine Oil on page 17.
9. Dispose of used engine oil properly.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the inverter
for any storage
1. Clean the inverter as outlined in Cleaning the
Inverter.
2. Siphon all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
3. Start the engine and allow the inverter to run until
all the remaining gasoline in the fuel lines and
carburetor is consumed and the engine shuts off.
4. Drain any remaining fuel from the float bowl. See
Draining the Float Bowl on page 19.
5. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil on page
18).
6. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page 20) and place about 1
tablespoon of oil in the spark plug opening. While
placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening,
slowly pull the recoil handle to allow the engine to
turn over several times. This will distribute the oil
and protect the cylinder wall from corroding
during storage.
7. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page20).
8. Move the inverter to a clean, dry place for storage.
1. Reset the reset breaker (see page 15).
1. Add gasoline to the inverter (see
page 13).
3. Check and clean the air filter (see
page 18).
4. Check oil level and add oil if
necessary (see page 17).
7. Check and clean the spark arrestor
(see page 21).
6. Remove and check the spark plug.
Replace if faulty (see pages 20).
1. Check fuel level (see page 13). Add
fuel if necessary.
2. Check oil level and add oil if
necessary (see page 17).
2. Clean the air filter (see page 18).
