OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building,

including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds,

enclosure or compartment, including the generator

compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult

your local authority. In some areas, generators must

be registered with the local utility. Generators used at

construction sites may be subject to additional rules and

regulations. Generators should be on a ﬂat, level surface

at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators

must have at least ﬁve feet of clearance from all

combustible material. In addition to clearance from all

combustible material, generators must also have at least

three feet of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate

cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators should

never be started or operated in the back of a SUV,

camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, ﬂat or

otherwise), under staircases/stairwells, next to walls or

buildings, or in any other location that will not allow for

adequate cooling of the generator and/or the mufﬂer.

DO NOT contain generators during operation. Allow

generators to properly cool before transport or storage.

Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT

place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust

fumes could be drawn into occupied or conﬁned

spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when

positioning generator.

Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void

manufacturer’s warranty.

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,

or wet weather.

Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet

conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or

sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could

result in electrocution.

WARNING

During operation the mufﬂer and exhaust fumes

produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and

breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator

is blocked or contained, temperatures can become

extremely heated and may lead to ﬁre.

Surge Protection

Electronic devices, including computers and many

programmable appliances use components that are

designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and

may be affected by momentary voltage ﬂuctuations.

While there is no way to prevent voltage ﬂuctuations, you

can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.

1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors

on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.

Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet

styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually

all short-duration voltage ﬂuctuations.

Voltage ﬂuctuation may impair the proper

functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.

CAUTION

Grounding

The generator system ground connects the frame to the

ground terminals on the power panel.

– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the

frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.

– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle

pin connection will not function if the receptacle

ground pin is not functional.

Starting the Engine

1. Make certain the generator is on a ﬂat, level surface.

2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.

Never start or stop the generator with electrical

devices plugged in or turned on.

3. Make certain the LPG cylinder is in the upright

position and on a ﬂat, level surface.

4. Open the valve on the fuel source.

5. Open the FUEL VALVE on the generator.

6. Press and hold the PRIMER BUTTON for 1-2

seconds.

7. Move the CHOKE LEVER to CHOKE. *Only required if

temp. below 40˚F (4˚C).

8. Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

9. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch

to the “START” position. Release as the engine

begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within

ﬁve seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten

seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
