Grounding the Generator (See fig 7)
The portable generator is equipped with a terminal for the connection of a ground
electrode conductor where a grounding electrode system is required by NEC Article
250.34(A). The equipment grounding conductor terminals of the generator receptacles
are bonded to the generator frame. Where the generator supplies power to cord and
plug connected equipment, like power tools, the frame of the generator is not required
by the NEC to be connected to an earthen ground electrode. The generator neutral
conductor is bonded
to the generator frame in accordance with NEC Article 250.34(C)
How to Start Engine (See fig 8-13)
•
Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.
When using gasoline
•
Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position. (See fig 9)
•
Turn the fuel selector to “GAS” position (See fig 10)
•
Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 11) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
•
To start, turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until resistance is
felt, then pull rap
idly. (See fig 12)
•
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 at the “RUN” position. (See fig 13)
When using LPG
•
Connect the propane hose to the propane tank and generator; Open the valve of LPG bottle (See fig 8)
•
Turn the fuel selector to “Propane” position (See fig 10)
•
Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 11) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
•
To start, turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until resistance is
felt,
then pull rapidly. (See fig 12)
•
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 at the “RUN” position. (See fig 13)
Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
•
When operated as a portable generator, keep out of rain and away from standing water
•
When generator is connected to a building or structure, an additional ground wire must be installed between
the threaded grounding lug and a suitable earthen ground
