If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure
unit is on a level surface and check for proper
oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped
with a low oil protection device. If so, oil must
be at proper level for engine to start.
Keep choke lever in “START” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move
choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the
next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much
choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This
will cause the engine not to start.
9. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts
and warm up, push the choke lever in to the
“RUN” position.
10. Allow generator to run at no load for few
minutes upon each initial start-up to permit
engine and generator to stablize.
Starter cord kickback(rapid
retraction) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can
let go which could cause broken
WARNING
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
8. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly.

bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in
serious injury.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1.Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting.
2.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in
on position.
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to
handle its full capacity. Before starting the
generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only
after generator is running. Voltage is regulated
via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for
correct output. Readjusting will void warranty.
CAUTION
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
3.Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC,
single phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is
better to attach the item with largest load first.
