IMPORTANT!

WARNING:

Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless the generator and transfer switch have been properly installed and the electrical output has been verified by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

FIRST TIME STARTING THE UNIT

Add entire bottle of lubricant provided to the generator (see page 13).

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a

poison you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

FIRST TIME STARTING THE UNIT (CONTINUED)

Pull the starter grip until the engine runs (see page 14).

Allow engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move Easy Start dial to RUN/

RE-START (middle) position (see page 14).

USING THE GENERATOR

Connect devices to be powered by generator by following the steps below (see pages 8-9).

• Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you

will power at the same time. See page 9 for how to calculate total amount of power needed.

• Start the generator with nothing connected.

• Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.

• Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).

• Plug in and turn on the next load.

• Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

• Repeat previous two steps for each additional load.

IMPORTANT: Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity. (See pages 8-9.)
