should be grounded.
2.Combined load of the connected apparatusmust not exceed the rated capacityof the generator
Electric apparatus, particularly motor-drivenequipment, will draw a higher currentwhen starting. The
following table is providedfor your reference when connectingsuch apparatus to your generator.
Warning:Do notallow thestarter gripto snap
back againstthe engine.
Return itgently.
6.Push thechoke rodto the OPEN position
