STARTING THE GENERATOR SET
Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that all
instructions given in previous sections have been followed
completely.
•
Check oil and fuel levels.
•
Turn the fuel valve under the fuel tank on.
•
Turn the fuel valve on the front of the engine on, where
applicable.
•
Turn idle-control On/Off switch OFF where applicable.
RECOIL START
•
Move engine On/Off switch to On position.
•
Slowly pull recoil cord until resistance is felt, push the red
lever on the top of the engine, and then pull firmly. Let the
recoil rewind slowly to avoid damage.
ELECTRIC START
•
Move engine On/Off switch to On position.
•
Push and hold the On/Off switch in the Start position until
the engine starts and release. Note: If the engine does not
start after 5 seconds, stop and wait 10 seconds and repeat
this step.
PRIMING PROCEDURE
This procedure may be required for the initial start or
subsequent starts, if the fuel runs out, or if air is in the fuel
system.
1.
Fill the tank completely with DIESEL fuel.
2.
Open the fuel shut-off valve under the tank.
3.
Pump the primer bulb under the engine hood 2-3 times.
4.
Watch for the fuel filter to be completely filled with diesel
with no air inside.
5.
Crank the engine by pressing the start switch or pulling
the recoil.
FUEL SHUT-OFF & FILTER
For Extremely Hard or Recoil Starting, it may be necessary to
follow Steps 6 & 7.
6.
Push the red lever on the top of the engine for 3-4
seconds while pushing the start switch, cranking the
engine.

7.
Release the red lever still keeping the start switch in the
start position for another 2-3 seconds.
8.
If the engine doesn't start, repeat the procedure (it means
the filter is not completely filled with diesel and still has air
inside).

VOLTAGE SELECTOR GUIDE (applicable models)
The voltage selector switch allows the generator set to produce
120 volts only or to produce 120/240 volts simultaneously. With
the switch in the 120V position only the 120V receptacles may
be used. All of the power from the generator is available at 120
volts but the 240V output is not available. In the 120/240V
position all receptacles are operable however only half of the
generator output is available at any one 120V receptacle. Full
power may be pulled from the generator from the 240V
receptacle. The switch should always be left in the 120V
position when 240 volts are not needed. This balances the load
on the generator more effectively.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET
Unplug all appliances and let the engine run unloaded for a
couple of minutes. Turn the engine On/Off switch to the Off
position. Turn the fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel tank Off.
GENERATOR APPLICATION
WHAT IS A GENERATOR
A generator is basically a prime mover, typically a gasoline or
diesel engine, coupled to an alternator to produce electricity. It
is very useful as a substitute power source during power
outages or as the primary source in remote locations where
power is not available. Generators are essential for people
such as contractors or farmers who are always in need of
portable power. They are also very convenient for recreational
use.
SELECTING A GENERATOR
Selecting the proper generator is important. A generator that is
too small for your application will not run all of the equipment
needed. A generator that is too large will cost more and if
never used to its potential the money is wasted. The correct
size generator is determined by totaling the wattage
requirements of the items to be used simultaneously,
determine additional starting wattage requirements and total
these numbers. Select a generator with a continuous rating
that exceeds this by about 20% to allow for expansion. See the
table in the section titled "Generator Set Overload" for some
wattage guidelines of common equipment.
