OPERATION BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5. Location Selection – Before starting the generator, avoid exhaust and location hazards by verifying: • You have selected a location to operate the generator that is outdoors and well ventilated. • You have selected a location with a level and solid surface on which to place the generator. • You have selected a location that is at least 6 feet (1.
OPERATION ADDING / CHECKING ENGINE FLUIDS AND FUEL BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5. DANGER Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while the generator is running can cause gasoline to leak and come in contact with hot surfaces that can ignite the gasoline.
OPERATION ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK WARNING Never refuel the generator while the engine is running. Always turn the engine off and allow the generator to cool before refueling. Required Gasoline – Only use gasoline that meets the following requirements: • Unleaded gasoline only • Gasoline with maximum 10% ethanol added • Gasoline with an 87 octane rating or higher Filling the Fuel Tank – Follow the steps below to fill the fuel tank: 1. Shut off the generator. 2.
OPERATION MANUALLY STARTING THE GENERATOR 1. Check oil levels (see Adding Engine Oil page 20) 5. Push the engine control switch into the RUN position (see Figure 10 below). 2. Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see Figure 7 below). Figure 10 - Engine Control Switch - RUN Figure 7 - Breakers 240/120VMain Circuit Breaker Operating Position 2 240/120V Main Circuit Breaker Tripped Position 3 120V Circuit Breaker Operating Position 4 120V Circuit Breaker Tripped Position 1 6.
OPERATION STOPPING THE GENERATOR Normal Operation During normal operation, use the following steps to stop your generator: 1. Remove any connected loads from the control panel receptacles. 2. Allow the generator to run at “no load” to reduce and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures. 3. Position the engine control switch to STOP or if you plan to store the generator after use, turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position and allow the fuel to be consumed from the carburetor.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WARNING CAUTION Failure to perform periodic maintenance or not following maintenance procedures can cause the generator to malfunction and could result in death or serious injury. Avoid skin contact with engine oil or gasoline. Prolonged skin contact with engine oil or gasoline can be harmful. Frequent and prolonged contact with engine oil may cause skin cancer. Take protective measures and wear protective clothing and equipment.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Specification 1. Only use the engine oil specified in Figure 14. 2. Only use 4-stroke/cycle engine oil. NEVER USE 2-STROKE/CYCLE OIL. Synthetic oil is an acceptable substitute for conventional oil. 6. Check oil level: When checking the engine oil, remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and wipe it clean. Thread the oil fill plug/dipstick all the way back in and then remove and check the oil level on the oil fill plug/dipstick.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING ENGINE OIL AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE WARNING 1. Stop the engine. 2. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow crankcase pressure to equalize). 3. Place oil pan (or suitable container) under the oil drain plug (see Figure 17). 4. With a damp rag, thoroughly clean around the oil drain plug. 5. Remove the oil drain plug (see Figure 17). Once removed, place the oil drain plug on a clean surface. Never use gasoline or other flammable solvents to clean the air filter.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Air Filter - Continued from Page 21 NOTICE Never dispose of soap cleaning solution used to clean the air filter by dumping the solution into a sewer, on the ground, or into ground water or waterways. Always be environmentally responsible. Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other governmental agencies for proper disposal of hazardous materials. Consult local authorities or reclamation facility. 1. Dispose of used soap cleaning solution properly. 2.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE GENERATOR It is important to inspect and clean the generator before every use. Clean All Engine Air Inlet and Outlet Ports – Make sure all engine air inlet and outlet ports are clean of any dirt and debris to ensure the engine does not run hot. Clean All Engine Cooling Fins – Use a damp rag and a brush to loosen and remove all dirt on or around the engine’s cooling fins.

If an adjustment is required, hold the adjusting nut and loosen the jam nut. 7. Turn the adjusting nut to obtain the correct valve lash. When the valve lash is correct, hold the adjusting nut and tighten the jam nut to 106 in-lb (12 N•m). 5 8. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the jam nut. 9.
TROUBLESHOOTING Engine will not start or remain running while trying to start. PROBLEM Generator suddenly stops running. Engine runs erratic; does not hold a steady RPM. 1. Fuel shutoff valve is in the OFF position. 1. Move the fuel shut off valve to the ON position (see Figure 8 page 17). 2. Generator is out of gasoline. 2. Add gasoline to the generator (see page 16). 3. Fuel flow is obstructed. 3. Inspect and clean fuel delivery passages. 4. Unit is over choked. 4.
