OPERATION n Unplug all loads from the generator. n Place the auto idle switch in the off position. n Slide the engine/choke lever to the start (center) position. NOTE: When the engine/choke lever is in the start (center) position, the fuel will flow from the fuel tank to the engine. If engine is warm, move the engine/choke lever right to the run (restart) position. n Pull the starter grip and rope until the engine runs (a maximum of 6 times). NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting; return it gently to its original place. Initial starting of the unit may require additional pulls to prime the fuel pump. n Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move the engine/choke lever right to the run position. STOPPING THE ENGINE See Figures 5 - 6. n Remove any load from the generator. n Place the engine/choke lever in the off position. To stop the engine in an emergency situation: n Put the engine/choke lever in the off position. WARNING: While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/ or ignite combustible objects. USING THE BATTERY CHARGING CABLE See Figure 8. WARNING: The 12 V DC receptacle is designed to charge vented wet lead acid batteries only. Other types of batteries could burst, causing personal injury and damage. NOTICE: The 12 V DC receptacle provides continuous charge. Do not overcharge battery or leave battery unattended. Doing so may cause damage to the battery. NOTICE: the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Make sure all connections are secure. NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause sparks, damage to the battery or generator, or even burns or explosions. NOTE: To prevent short circuit, keep away from a metal surface during clamp connection. n Connect the battery charging cable assembly to the 12 V DC receptacle. n Start the generator. NOTE: The AC receptacles can be used while the DC receptacle is in use. n The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. NOTE: Only use battery charging cable assembly to charge vented wet lead acid batteries. n When batteries become fully charged, disconnect the battery charging cable assembly from the battery. Disconnect the negative (black) wire first, then the positive (red) wire, being careful not to short across the terminals. Always abide by the safety warnings provided with the battery. NOTE: Most batteries will be completely charged after 30 to 120 minutes. However, it is highly recommended that you refer to your battery manufacturer's instructions for specific charge times. n Unplug battery charging cable assembly and store for later use. MOVING THE GENERATOR See Figure 9. n Place the auto idle switch in the off position. At the off position, the fuel valve will be closed and prevent any gas flow. n Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storing the machine. n Pull the retractable handle out or carry by the carry handles. n Facing the front of the generator, grasp the folding handle firmly with one hand. n Lift the generator toward you until it balances on the wheels. n Turn around and pull the unit along behind you to the desired location. n Lower the generator until it sits securely on a flat surface. Do not use the generator to jump start vehicles. Doing so could result in damage to the vehicle or it's electrical components. n Place the auto idle switch in the OFF position. n Using the battery clamps, connect the battery charging cable assembly to the battery terminal. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal first, then connect HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION Specific modifications are needed for high-altitude operation for equipment operating in altitudes greater than 5000 feet above sea level. Please contact your authorized service center for important information regarding these modifications. Operating this engine without the proper altitude modification may increase the engine's emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance. 14 - English
