Figure 2-15. Add Recommended Fuel
NOTE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before starting unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas 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 the Storage section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

Grounding the Generator When Used as a Portable
The generator is equipped with a terminal for the connection of a grounding electrode system. Article 250.34 (A) does not require the frame of the generator to be connected to a grounding electrode system when the generator only supplies power to cord and plug connected equipment through the receptacles on the generator.
When the generator supplies power to a 3-pole manual transfer switch or distribution panel boards for temporary power, a grounding electrode system shall be installed and connected to the grounding electrode terminal on the generator. See NEC 250.30, 250.34 and 250.52 for clarification. See Figure 3-1.

Special Requirements
Review all Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction:
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
- If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be observed.
Connecting the Generator to a Building Electrical System
When connecting directly to a building electrical system, it is recommended that a manual transfer switch be used. Connections for a portable generator to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and in strict compliance with all national and local electrical codes and laws.
Know Generator Limits
Overloading a generator can result in damage to the generator and connected electrical devices. Observe the following to prevent overload:
- Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
- The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances, and motors can be found on a data label or decal affixed to the device.
- If the appliance, tool, or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
- Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about three times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors. Make sure to allow for high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator:
- Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
- Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in determining how many items the generator can operate at one time.
NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for wattage requirements.

Figure 3-3. Choke Position
- Press and hold Start/Run/Stop switch in the Start position. When engine starts, release the switch to the RUN position.
- When engine starts, move choke knob to 1/2 choke position until engine runs smoothly, then fully to RUN position. If engine falters, move choke knob back to 1/2 choke position until engine runs smoothly, then move to RUN position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not o generator. Also, do not overload individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against overload with push-to-reset type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read Know Generator Limits carefully.
Generator Shut Down
CAUTION
Equipment and property damage. Disconnect electrical loads prior to starting or stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in equipment and property damage. (000136)
- Shut off all loads and unplug electrical loads from generator panel receptacles.
- Turn Off idle control switch.
- Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
- Move Start/Run/Stop switch to Stop.
- Close fuel valve.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, close fuel valve and allow generator to run carburetor bowl out of fuel. For emergencies, switch to Stop.
Automatic Idle Control
This feature will improve fuel economy. When the switch is turned On, the engine will only run at its normal fast governed engine speed when electrical load is connected. When load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the switch Off, the engine runs continuously at normal fast engine speed.
Always have the switch Off when starting and stopping the engine.
Cold Weather Operation/De-icer
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40 °F ( 4 °C ) and a hig point), the engine may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To eliminate this problem, the generator engine is fitted with a winter/summer valve. This directs hot air into the carburetor during cold weather operation. Always make sure the winter/summer valve is in the correct location relative to weather condition.
Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below a specified level. The engine will not run until the oil has been filled to the proper level.
If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient fuel, check engine oil level.
