with gasoline.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap,remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill.Allow about 1.5"of tank space for
fuel expansion (Figure 2).
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essentialfuel system parts,such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.Also,
experience indicates that alcohol_lended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See "Storage"
on page I I. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is
provided on the generator end (Figure 3).
Wing Nut
I. Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 4).
FuelValve is shown
in the On position
2. Placethe choke lever in the "Choke" position
(Figure 5).
Generally, connecting aNo. 12AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut
and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection againstelectrical
shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after
connectingthe stranded copper wire. However, local codes
may vary widely.Consult with a local electrician for
grounding requirements in your area.
Properly groundingthe generator helps prevent electrical
shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or
in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipatestatic electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
,_ CAUTION! Never start or stop the engine with
electrical loads connected to the receptacles AND
with the connected devices turned ON.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instruction steps by numerical order:
3. Set the rocker switch to "On" position (Figure 6).
4.
5.
Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt.Then pull rapidly to start engine.
Move choke lever to "Run" position a short distance at
a time over several seconds in warm weather or
minutes in cold weathe_ Let engine run smoothly before
each change. Operate with choke in"Run" position.
NOTE: If engine still fails to start after 3pulls, check for
proper oil level in crankcase.This unit is equipped with a
low oil device which prevents the engine from being
started when the oil drops below a safe level in the
crankcase. See engine manual.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more
detailed starting instructions.

Capacity
You must make sure your generator can supplyenough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I. Select the items you will power at the same Ume.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your items running.See Figure 9.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
need.Surge wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliancessuchasa circular saw or refrigerator.
Becausenot all motors start at the same time, total
surgewatts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highestadditional surge watts to the
total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
your generator.There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially
add loadsas follows:
I. With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly.
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity.Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity,
as described above.
