Starting the Engine

1. Make certain the generator is on a ﬂat, level surface.

2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.

Never start or stop the generator with electrical

devices plugged in or turned on.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position.

4. Pull choke lever out to the “Choke” position.

OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building,

including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds,

enclosure or compartment, including the generator

compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult

your local authority. In some areas, generators must

be registered with the local utility. Generators used at

construction sites may be subject to additional rules and

regulations. Generators should be on a ﬂat, level surface

at all times (even while not in operation). Generators

must have at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) of clearance from all

combustible material. In addition to clearance from

all combustible material, generators must also have at

least 91 cm (3 ft.) of clearance on all sides to allow for

adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators

should never be started or operated in the back of a

SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, ﬂat

or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells, next to walls

or buildings, or in any other location that will not allow

for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the mufﬂer.

DO NOT contain generators during operation. Allow

generators to properly cool before transport or storage.

Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT

place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust

fumes could be drawn into occupied or conﬁned spaces.

Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning

generator.

Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void

manufacturer’s warranty.

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,

or wet weather.

Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet

conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or

sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could

result in electrocution.

WARNING

During operation the mufﬂer and exhaust fumes

produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and

breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator

is blocked or contained, temperatures can become

extremely heated and may lead to ﬁre.

Grounding

The generator system ground connects the frame to the

ground terminals on the power panel.

– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the

frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.

– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle

pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground

pin is not functional.
