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
This engine is electric start only. The batteries must
be maintained in good condition to prevent hard start-
ing or damage to the engine mounted starter.
GASOLINE STARTING
1. Check oil level, refi ll as needed
2. Turn on the fuel supply. Ref “A” Lever pointing
up is on, lever pointing down is off.
3. Pull the choke out to the full “closed” position. A
warm engine will require less choking than a
cold
engine.
4. Turn the engine switch to the “on” position
5.. Operating the starter. Rotate the key switch
briefl y to the START position. The starter life is
improved by using shorter starting cycles with
time to cool off between cranking cycles. Do
not operate the starter more than 5 seconds and
wait at least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again, Repeat cycle if necessary.
6. When the engine starts, release the key
switch, allowing it to return to the “on” position.
7. Gradually push the choke to the open position as
the engine warms up..
6. The engine should promptly come up to
operating
speed.
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-
choking.
