Operation (Continued)
NOTE: If oil level is too low, oil alert
system will keep engine from starting (see
Oil Alert System, page 6). Make sure oil
level is full before starting. See Engine Oil,
page 9.
Before starting the engine, disconnect all
electric loads from generator.
STARTING
IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset.
The throttle is locked in preset position. Do
not adjust throttle. Preset position lets
engine run at 3600 RPM under load. The
engine must maintain 3600 RPM for
generator to create correct voltage.
Running engine at lower speeds will
damage generator and powered items.
IMPORTANT: Never start generator with
electrical loads connected. Start engine
before adding electrical loads.
1. Make sure gasoline tank is full. See Fuel,
page 8 for fuel information.
2. Locate fuel valve under the fuel tank.
Turn fuel on. Do this by turning fuel
valve handle to vertical position (See
Figure 17).

NOTE: You may not need to close choke if

back against engine. Return it gently. This
will prevent damage to starter.
NOTE: If engine does not start, check the
oil level in the crankcase. Add oil as
needed. Be sure engine is on a level
surface. See Oil Alert System, page 6.
