Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to
minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the
unit during times of
reduced electrical output, allowing
the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The
engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine
runs at normal speed continuously.
6. Turn the engine switch to the “On” position.
7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
8. As engine warms up, push the choke lever in.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
NOTE
OPERATION
Starting the Engine Cont’d. Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
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.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, push the choke
lever in for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil
starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/
engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This
will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF.
