Never use gasoline that has been stored for an ex-
tended period of time as the fuel will lose its volatile
properties and you will be left with varnish residue.
The varnish like substance will clog the carburetor
and will not burn properly.
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL, or an
equivalent will minimize the formation of fuel gum
deposits. If a unit has been out of operation for an
extended period of time, it is best to drain old fuel
from the engine and replace with fresh fuel before
attempting to start.
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
This WINCO Industrial generator is equipped with a
low oil shutdown system. This engine uses a float
switch mounted inside the engine. If the oil level
drops below a certain point the low oil module on the
engine will shut it down. This low oil warning system
will automatically stop the engine before the oil level
reaches a critical danger point. This feature is de-
signed to prevent costly repairs and downtime.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Allowing the engine to shutdown repeatedly on
low oil level may cause excessive wear which can
be cumulative.
INITIAL START UP
The throttle control on these generators is preset
and locked to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with
no load speed set at 690 RPM. Only a trained
service technician should be allowed to adjust this
speed setting.
NOTICE: ENGINE START LOCKOUT
This unit will not start if it is low on oil. The lu-
bricating oil level must be at the full mark before the
engine will start and run.
BASIC OPERATION
MANUAL STARTING
Refer to the engine manual for additional starting,
operating, and stopping instructions.
1. Check oil level. Refill as needed.
2. Turn on the fuel supply by moving the fuel lever
to the “ON” position.
. Move the choke lever to the “CLOSED” position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever
in the “OPEN” position
4 Turn the off/on engine switch to the on position.
5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt,
then pull briskly.
6. When the engine starts, open the choke
gradually.
7. The engine should promptly come up to
operating speed.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never permit the choke to remain on after the
engine has run for a short time. It is not necessary to
choke the engine when it is warm. Avoid over-chok-
ing.

Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the
SAFETY INFORMATION section on page and the BEFORE
OPERATION CHECKS on page .
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for any safety precautions that should be observed
with engine startup, shutdown or operation.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or actions that expose you to carbon
monoxide.
Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever or choke rod
(applicable types) to the CLOSED position.
Move the throttle lever away from the MIN. position, about 1/3
of the way toward the MAX. position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted choke control
rather than the engine-mounted choke lever shown here. Refer
to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever or choke rod in
the OPEN position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted throttle control
rather than the engine-mounted throttle lever shown here. Refer to
the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.

BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental
regulations, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is
very important to take a few moments before you operate the
engine to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem
you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate
the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is
level and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Engine
1. Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the
muffler and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts,
and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level (see page 8). Starting with a full tank will
help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level (see page 9). Running the engine with
a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop
the engine before the oil level falls below safe limits. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
3. Check the reduction case oil level on applicable types (see page
9). Oil is essential to reduction case operation and long life.
4. Check the air filter element (see page 10). A dirty air filter
element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance.
5. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered
by this engine for any precautions and procedures that should
be followed before engine startup.
Improperly maintaining this engine, or failure to
correct a problem before operation, can cause a
malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before
each operation, and correct any problem.
OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the
SAFETY INFORMATION section on page 2 and the BEFORE
OPERATION CHECKS on page 4.
For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed area such
as a garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for any safety precautions that should be observed with
engine startup, shutdown, or operation.
Do not operate the engine on slopes greater than 20° (36%).
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED
position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN
position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted choke control
rather than the engine-mounted choke lever shown here. Refer
to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
unconsciousness or death.
Never run the engine in a closed, or even partly closed
area where people may be present.
