VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
The 120V/240V selector switch gives the user the ability to
double the amperage in the generator for more demanding
applications. The voltage selector switches the dual 120V
AC windings of the generator to produce 120V or 240V.
If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong L14-30R
receptacle, the switch must be in the "240V" position. The
120V only outlets will not output power when the Voltage
Selector is in the 240V position.
Only change the Voltage Selector Switch with the
generator OFF. DO NOT switch the voltage while the
generator is running or powering appliances.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (2650 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Verify that:
• The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location.
• The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
• The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Verify that fuel is in the gas tank.
2. Verify voltage selector switch is in the desired vo
3. Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to
gasoline operation.
4. Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position.
OPERATION
Note: If cold starting, move the choke lever to the ON
position.
5. Choose the starting method:
a. Push-Button Start: Push and hold the engine
START/STOP switch for two seconds.
b. Recoil Start: Manually close the choke if the engine
is cold. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly
until you feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly.
6. After starting, allow the engine to run for several seconds
then move the Choke lever to the fully OFF position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
IMPORTANT: NEVER start or stop the generator with
electrical devices connected.
2. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine.
3. Push the Run/Stop switch to the Stop position.
Note: Alternately, if the generator is used infrequently, turn
the fuel tank valve to the OFF position to limit the
residual fuel remaining in the carburetor float bowl.
The engine will stop when fuel in the carburetor and
fuel line is exhausted.
FREQUENCY OF USE
If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), refer to the
Storage section of this manual for information regarding
fuel deterioration.
AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator
at each receptacle.
If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working correctly and it does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before
resetting the AC circuit breaker ON.
