Then, pull the Starter Handle(See
Figure E.)with a rapid, full arm
stroke. Allow the Rope to rewind
slowly. If necessary, repeat this
procedure until the Engine starts.
6.When the Engine starts, slowly
move the Choke Lever to its
"OPEN" position. (See Figure D.)
7.IMPORTANT:Allow the
Generator to run at no load for
five minutes after each start-up
so that the Engine and Generator
can stabilize.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICAL
LOADS
1.Start the Engine, and allow the
Engine and Generator to run and
warm up for five minutes after
starting with no electrical load.
2. WARNING! Connect 120 VAC
appliances, tools, and equipment
only to the two 120 VAC Outlet
Sockets. Connect 240 VAC
appliances, tools, and equipment
only to the one 240 VAC Outlet
Socket. (See Figure F.)
3. CAUTION! Never exceed the
rated capacity for this Generator,
as serious damage to the
Generator and/or appliances,
tools, and equipment could result
from an overload. Starting and
running wattage requirements
should always be calculated
when matching this Generator’s
wattage capacity to the
appliance, tool, or equipment.
4.Use the DC12V terminals to
charge DC batteries.
WARNING! Frequently monitor
charging of DC batteries. Do not
overcharge.
5.Most appliances, tools, and
equipment will list on the motor
nameplate the starting and
running voltage and amperage
requirements. Use the following
formula to convert voltage and
amperage to wattage:
a.Volts x Amps = Watts
(example: 120 Volts x 3 Amps =
360 Watts)
b.To determine the approximate
wattage requirement for most
appliances, tools, and equipment
with "inductive" type motors,
multiply the wattage that was
calculated by 2 times to assure
adequate Generator capacity.
c.The starting and running
wattage for "resistant" loads are
the same. Example: a 100 watt
light bulb requires only 100 watts
to turn on. Most resistant loads
will be listed in wattage.
3.Turn the Engine Fuel Valve to
its "ON" position. Then turn the
Engine Choke Lever to its
"CLOSE" position.
No choke is required if the
Engine is warm. Make sure the
Choke Lever is in the "OPEN"
position when starting a warm
Engine.(See Figure D.)
4.To start the Engine, using the
Battery (Model:9224 with
Battery, Model:52223 Battery not
included) for cranking power,
insert the Engine Switch Key into
the Engine Switch (See Figure
C.) Then turn the Key to the
"START" position. NOTE: To
prolong Starter life, use short
starting cycles (5 seconds
maximum). Then wait one
minute before attempting to start
again.
5.To start the Engine manually,
using the Starter Handle, insert
the Engine Switch Key and turn
the Key to its "RUN" position.
Grasp the Starter Handle, and
pull slowly until
resistance is felt. Allow the
Starter Rope to rewind slowly.
