CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When using these generators to power a home
or construction trailer, the Conserv-R
®
switch
must be left in the off position. Some appliances
in homes and construction trailers have such a
low current draw (less that 5 to 10 watts) they
will not turn the conserver off, resulting in low
voltage being supplied to them. This low voltage
can do permanent damage to these appliances.
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 3690 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.
. Turn on the fuel supply by moving the fuel lever
to the “ON” position.
NOTE - There is a second fuel valve under the fuel
tank that is used when removing the tank. This
valve is normally left on.
3. 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.
ELECTRIC STARTING
If the engine is cold and stiff or if the battery is not
fully charged, starting can be made easier by slowly
hand cranking the engine through the compres-
sion stroke before pushing the starter switch. This
permits the starter to gain momentum before the
heavy load of the compression stroke occurs. This
minimizes the drain on the battery and improves the
possibility of starting under such adverse conditions.
Always keep the battery charged, especially during
cold weather operation.
1. Check oil level, refill as needed.

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.
