Generator Location
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.
This generator must have at least five feet of clearance
from combustible material. Leave at least three feet
of clearance on all sides of the generator to allow for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
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.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the
ground terminals on the power panel.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and
may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations.
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you
can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors
on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet
styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
2. Obtain an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device.
Most UPS devices come with a rechargeable battery
between the electronic equipment and power supply
source. The device buffers the voltage and protects
against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
CAUTION
OPERATION
Starting the Engine without Remote
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Battery Switch to “ON”.
5. ELECTRIC START: Press the switch to the “START”
position.
6. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
Wireless Remote Start
Wireless remote starting is only possible within 80 feet of
the generator.
Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke. The remote
system will automatically close and open the choke.
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
3. Press the Battery Switch to “ON”.
4. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
5. To start the engine, press and release the “START”
button on the handheld Remote Control device. DO
NOT hold the button down, only press the button
once. The engine will attempt to start 6 times.
6. A safety feature is provided which delays the
electrical power availability during starting mode.
The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds. The
delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator
if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during
engine startup.
7. If the generator fails to start, check the battery
condition and cable connections.
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
