SMOOTHLY SHOULD AN APPLIANCE OR TOOL
BE PLUGGED INTO THE AC OUTLET OF THE
GENERATOR.
1. Prior to each use, connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not
included) from the ground terminal on the control panel to
a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at least
24 inches deep into the earth. e grounding rod must be an
earth-driven copper or brass rod (electrode).
2. Turn the engine’s fuel valve to the OPEN position,
(see Figure 1).
3. Turn the engine’s choke lever to the START position (see
Figure 2). Set the choke lever to the run position only when
the engine has started or upon restarting a warm engine.
4. Turn the engine power switch to the ON position.
5. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until you meet some
resistance. Pull the recoil starter with a rapid full arm stroke
allowing the starter rope to rewind slowly. Repeat as necessary
until the engine starts running.
6. After the engine warms up and starts running normally, move
the choke lever to the RUN position (see Figure 3).
Note: Allow the engine to warm up for about 3 minutes before
moving the choke lever to the RUN position.
7. e rst 25 hours of operation is the break-in period.
Breaking-in the engine will help ensure proper equipment and
engine operation, and will extend the engine’s lifespan. During
this time frame, DO NOT exceed 75% of the generator’s load
limit. In other words, the maximum load during this break-in
period should be no more than 1800 watts. After the first 25
hours of use drain and replace the engine oil.
e warranty is void if the engine is not broken in properly.
