OPERATION
14
• Only operate generator on a level surface.
• Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.
WARNING!
Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
• Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.
• Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position. (See fig 10)
• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 11) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
• For electric start, Push and hold the engine START/ON/OFF switch in the “START” position. Do not hold the START/
ON/OFF switch in the “Start” position for more than 15 seconds. Allow 1 minute between starting attempts. (See fig12)
• For manual start, turn the engine START/ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil handle (starter
cord) slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. (See fig 13)
• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”
position until the choke is fully slid to the “RUN” position. (See fig 14)

The ground terminal located on the back of the generator frame must always be used
to connect generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects
to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure
proper connection. Grounding the generator protects you from electric shock that
results from a build up of static electricity or undetected ground faults.
