OPERATION

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 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material.
In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators
must also have at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) 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.
WARNING
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 will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, 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.
–
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.
Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the generator is
designed to choose the desired fuel source – gasoline or propane
(LPG). To select the desired fuel source, simply rotate the selector
switch to the fuel symbol on the panel. Turn the fuel selector
switch to the 9 o’clock (horizontal) position for LPG operation (A).
A
Turn the fuel selector switch to the 12 o’clock (vertical) position for
gasoline operation (B).

NOTICE
When the fuel selector switch is in the 12 o’clock position, the
gas fuel valve is OPEN. To CLOSE the gas fuel valve, turn the
selector switch to the 9 o’clock position.
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
Manual Start
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.
