Operating Your Generator

Before using generator, a ground wire must be connected to the ground terminal. The

Ground terminal is located on the Front Panel. Before using the ground terminal consult

a qualiﬁed electrician.

1. Disconnect all devices from the generator.

2. Open the fuel valve by turning the fuel valve knob

from “off” to “on”. Make sure the valve is turned

all the way, to ensurethat the valve has been fully

opened for fuel to pass through.

3. Turn choke to “closed” or OFF position. Leave the

chokein the “Open” position if the generator is still

warm from recent use, or if the air temperature is

higher than 50°F (10°C).

4. Locate and press primer bulb 15-20 times to move

fuel through the lines and into the engine.Note: This

step is only necessary when the engineis cold

Maintaining Your Generator

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be done by a

qualiﬁed electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Improper connections may cause serious injuries to electrical worker during power

outages. Additionally, the generator may explode or cause ﬁres when the utility power

is restored.

WARNING!

• To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded.

• Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.

• Do not exceed the current limit speciﬁed for any one receptacle.

• Do not connect the generator to a household circuit.

• Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended for.

• Be sure to use properly isolated cable when an extension cable is required.

• Limit length of extension cables to 60 m for cables of 1.5 mm wire thickness

and 100 m for cables of 2.5 mm wire thickness.

• Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires, such as a

distribution network.

• The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both

at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC.

• Before connecting a device to the generator, make sure the electrical rating of

the device does not exceed the electrical rating of the generator.

• Be sure the device is turned off before plugging in the power cord.

• When the output indicator light (green) is OFF, and the overload indicator light

(red) is ON, ﬂip the engine switch to the STOP position, stop the engine at once

and then start the engine again.

NOTICE

• Under normal operating conditions, the output indicator light (Green) will be ON

• When a connected device draws high startup power the overload and output

indicator light may brieﬂy illuminate, but this is to be expected. Once the device

starts up the overload indicator light will shut off and the output light will remain

green. If the generator is overloaded (in excess 100W), or if there is a short

circuit in a connected device, the overload indicator light (Red) will be ON.

• Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red)

may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the

overload indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.

18

• If the oil level falls below a safe limit, the low oil indicator light (Red) comes on

and the engine will be automatically stopped. If the engine stops or the low

oil indicator light comes on when you pull the starter grip, check the engine oil

level before troubleshooting in other areas. (Refer to Fig.)

• A hot engine will not start if there is too much gasoline in the cylinder. If this

happens, wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the engine to cool down before starting.

• The engine will stop automatically when it is out of gasoline.

• When the output indicator light (green) does not light and the overload indicator

light (red) lights instead, set the engine switch to STOP, stop the engine at once

and then start the engine again.

• If the engine stops and cannot be restarted, check oil level before troubleshoot-

ing other possibilities.

• Ensure ECON switch is off before turning on any connected devices.

19

DC Operation

Do not leave generator unattended when charging batteries. Stop charging when

the voltage of the batteries is above 16V. Failure to monitor charge level may result in

damage to the battery or personal injury.

The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use.

The overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector. If this happens, disconnect

the DC load before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation.

1. Set the ECON switch to the OFF position.

2. Connecting the battery charging cable.

• Connect the battery charging cable to the battery.

• Plug the charging wires into the DC outlet of the generator.
