Pre-Start Checklist

1. Ensure generator is at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from
building or other equipment and not covered
with any material.
2. Refer to all warning labels prior to starting.
3. Check oil level. Add oil if low. Do not overfill.
4. Check fuel level. Add fuel if low. Stop
refueling when indicator reaches F (full)
level. Check fuel system components and
lines for leaks. Never refuel while unit is
running.
5. Check starter battery (S).
6. Ground generator.
7. Check that air cleaner components and all air
inlets are unobstructed, equipment covers,
and guards are in place and securely
fastened.
8. Ensure electrical devices (load) are not
connected to generator.
Starting
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while generator is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate generator with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: Auto Idle (K) switch must be in OFF
position when using electric devices
that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor or a submersible
pump. Auto Idle (K) controls engine
speed according to connected load.
Results are better fuel consumption
and less noise.
NOTE: MODYS (B) automatically performs 5
start-up attempts.
