Location of the generator
NEVER operate the generator in a dry environment.
a building, including garages, basements, wet rooms,
sheds, enclosures or compartments, including the
generator compartment o f a recreational vehicle.
Please check with your local authorities. In some areas,
generators must be registered with the local utility.
Generators used on construction sites may be subject
to additional rules and regulations. Generators should
always be placed on a flat, level surface (even when not
in use). Generators should be kept approximately 5 ft.
(1.5 m) from combustible materials. In addition to the
distance from combustible materials, the generators
must also be at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) between all sides to
allow for proper cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Generators should never be started or operated in the
back of SUVs, campers, trailers, trucks (or otherwise),
under stairs, next to
Do not place the generators in walls or buildings, or
in any other location that does not allow for
adequate cooling. DO NOT block the generators
during operation. Allow generators to cool down
properly before transporting or storing. Place the
generator in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT place the generator near air vents or intakes as
exhaust fumes may enter occupied or confined spaces.
Carefully consider the wind and air c u rr e n t s before
positioning the generator

Grounding
The generator grounding system connects the frame to the
grounding terminals of the power panel.
-The generator (stator winding) is insulated from the frame
and the earth pin of the AC socket.
-Electrical appliances that require an earthed plug
connection will not function if the earth pin is not
operational, unless the neutral is connected to the
frame.
Starting with the remote control
Starting with the remote control is only possible within
80 feet of the generator. (The fil- fre e signal cannot
pass through some solid objects.) Do not attempt to
adjust the carburetor choke. The electrical system and
the remote control automatically close and open the
choke.
1. Check that the generator is on a flat surface.
2.Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator.
Never start or stop the generator if electrical appliances
are connected and switched on.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the
"WALK".
4. Set the battery switch to "ON" .
5. Set the ignition switch to "ON" .
6.STARTING WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL: Press the
"Start" button on the remote control briefly. Do not hold
the button down, press it only once. The engine will
attempt to start six times.
7.A safety device is provided to delay the availability of
electrical power during the start mode. The delay lasts
approximately 15 seconds. The delay is provided to
prevent damage to the generator if the electrical loads
are inadvertently activated during engine start.
8.If the generator does not start, check the battery
condition and cable connections.
