4.4 Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt,then pull the starter
grip briskly toward the arrow as shown below, see Fig.10.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it slowly by hand.
Do not let the starter rope rub against the generator body or the rope will wear out
prematurely.

High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.Performance will
decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the generator at altitude higher
than 5,000 feet above sea level, have your authorized agent to perform these carburetor
modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for
each 1,000 feet increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than
this if no carburetor modification is made.
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result
in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an
excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

5.GENERATOR USE
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded.
Connect a length of heavy wire between the generator's ground terminal and an external
ground source.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the
utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or other personel who
contact the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
For continuous operation do not exceed the rated power.
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered.
Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended for.
Also observe the following when using the generator :
DO not connect generators in parallel.
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
When connecting the generator to a household circuit, be sure to shut off all commercial
power supply.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use tough rubber sheathed flexible cable.
Limit length of extension cables: 200ft for cables of 15AWG and 333.3ft for cables of 13AWG
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as commercial power
supply lines.

5.1 AC applications
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator (yellow) may damage
the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload indicator (yellow)
may shorten the service life of the generator.
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the
generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops
suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Then disconnect the appliance
and examine it for signs of malfunction.
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that
its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.

1.Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance.
2.Start the engine and press the AC button and make sure the output indicator light (green)
comes on.
5.2 operation, overload and short circuit indicators
The operation indicator (green) will remain on during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded, the overload indicator (yellow) will be on.
If there is a short circuit in connected appliance, the operation indicator (green) will go off, the
short circuit indicator (red) will go on and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
