Connected devices may increase the difficulty in starting the engine. Confirm that this generator is properly grounded. See "How do I ground my generator? Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position. Set the engine switch to the "On" position.
Slowly pull on the recoil starter handle until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull briskly to start the engine. Gently return the cord into the generator to avoid damage to the starter or housing. Never allow the cord to snap back. If the engine fails to start, repeat step 6. NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, consult the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices.
After the engine has been running for several minutes to, electrical devices may be connected to this generator. What is the Fuel Cock? The fuel cock is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the fuel cock is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
Be sure to return the fuel cock to the OFF position after stopping the engine. What is the Choke Rod? The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke rod manually. Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the Volt outlets.
Connect 12 Volt, DC loads to the 12 Volt outlet. Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of , do not attempt to draw more than Watts from the Volt outlet.
Draws higher than Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty. This generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time.
Connect electrical devices requiring a rated running wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of this generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of a generator. The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time.
Many electrical devices, such as a refrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc. Motorized devices typically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power requirement.
The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to a generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices to be connected, look up the rated running wattage of each device and add these numbers together to find the total wattage that all of the devices together will draw from the generator.
If the total wattage of the selected devices exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all of the devices. Select a combination of the electrical devices that will have a total wattage less than or equal to the rated wattage for the generator.
If the wattage specification for a device is not available, the wattage can be calculated by multiplying the Voltage requirement or by the Amperage drawn. The Wattage Worksheet provides only estimates and it is better to know the exact wattage of each electrical device to be powered by this generator. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
NOTE: Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock. Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
Do not connect any other device to this outlet. NEVER attempt to jumpstart a car with this generator. Both Volts and 12 Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator. NEVER connect a building electrical system to this generator. Doing so voids your warranty. Such connections must isolate generator power from utility power and comply with local electrical laws and codes.
Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when utility power is restored, or injure or kill utility workers working to repair utility lines. For more information on the wattage used by the most common household appliance and electrical devices plugged into generator power, please download the Wattage Worksheet page HERE.
Sensitive electronic equipment should be operated on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators. Avoid the use of extension cords if possible. If you choose to use them, be sure they are sized adequately to handle the flow of electricity.
An undersized cord can overheat, short out and cause a fire. Too many devices may be connected to your generator, causing your generator to become overloaded. Disconnect the devices connected to your generator one by one until you have reduced the draw on the generator to within the generator's rated wattage.
For more information of the difference between running watts and surge watts see the Surge Wattage Vs. Running page on this website. For more information on the wattage used by the most common household appliance and electrical devices plugged into generator power, please see the Wattage Worksheet page on this website. Abruptly stopping the generator could result in damage to your appliance s or to the generator itself.
Please follow the procedure below to safely stop the running of your generator: Turn off all connected electrical devices and then unplug them. Allow this generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected to help stabilize the temperature of this generator. Set the engine switch to the "Off" position. Turn the fuel valve to the "Off" position. Allow the generator to cool down completely before moving. Some areas of the generator become hot during operation.
Allowing gasoline to sit in this generator's fuel tank for extended time without use can increase the difficulty in starting this generator in the future.
Never store this generator for extended time with gasoline in the fuel tank. If you plan to use your generator again within 60 days, no further action is needed. If you DO NOT plan to use the generator again within 60 days, follow the procedures listed in "How do I prepare my generator for storage? Turn off the fuel petcock on the gas tank. Place drip pan underneath the carburetor and pull the rubber fuel hose off. Open the drain screw on the side of the fuel bowl and let the fuel drain out.
Remove the two thumbscrews holding the air filter cover on and remove cover, foam element and plastic screen. There will be two 10mm. Remove theses with a ratchet, extension bar, and 10mm. Remove throttle spring off the linkage on top off the carburetor with needlenose pliers. Pull carburetor away from the engine and disengage throttle rod from linkage with needlenose pliers. Using a marker, match mark the fuel bowl and carburetor body.
Draw a vertical line across the seam where the two parts come together so they can be reassembled later. Remove the 10mm. Gently tap the side of the bowl with the ratchet, the bowl should drop off. You will see the float assembly, held into place inside the carburetor with a steel pin.
Remove the pin with needlenose pliers. Lift float up with needle still attached and hanging from the tab of the float by the clip. Try not to let the needle and clip fall off the tab. They are very small and easy to loose.
Set aside. Remove the brass jet from the center of the carburetor with a screwdriver. Inspect the hole in this, if it is obstructed soak the part in carburetor cleaner.
If brass jet needs to be cleaned after soaking use a blowgun from air compressor to remove obstruction. Spray all orifices with cleaner and use the blowgun to clear. Spray float and needle assembly with cleaner, try not to get any on the rubber tip of the needle! Let parts air dry. Spray the bowl of the carburetor with cleaner and wipe it clean.
