PRE-USECHECK

Prior to starting the generatorand adding loads, perform the

followingtasks:

1. Makesurethe generatoris on a firm, level(notto exceed15°

in any direction), non-combustiblesurface with at leastfive

(5) feet of clearanceon all sides.

Never operate in an enclosed area or

indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a

vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such

as garages, even if doors and windows are

open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open

windows, doors, vents, and in an area that

will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

Using a generator indoors CAN KiLL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is

a poison you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use insidea home

or garage, EVEN iF doors

and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

2. Removethefuel capandcheckthe fuellevel. Iffuel isneeded,

seethe section "FUELINGTHEGENERATOR".

3. Removethe left side service cover and check the oil level

by removingthe oil filler cap. The oil level should be to the

bottom ofthe threadson the oil fill pipe. If oil is needed,see

thesection "ADDINGENGINEOIL:'.

4. Replaceand securethe left sideservicecover.

5. Makesurethereare no loadsconnectedto the generator.

6. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of the generator be

properly connected to an approved earth ground. Proper

grounding of the generatorwill prevent electrical shock in

the event of a ground fault condition in the generatoror in

connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps

dissipatestatic electricity,which often builds up in unguarded

devices.

7. Local electricalcodes may also require proper grounding of

thegenerator.

_CAUTION!

switch canbe pushedto the "ON" (I) position. Thiswill lowerthe

generatorenginespeedwhen loadsare not being applied,saving

fuel, reducingenginewearand extendingruntime.

USINGTHE12VDCBATTERYCHARGER

The 12 VDC receptacle may be used to recharge 12 VDC

automotivebatteriesonly.TheDCchargingoutput isnot regulated.

Thecircuit protectordoesnot preventover-charginga battery.

1. Connectthe charging cable to the generatorfirst, then the

battery,ALWAYSconnectingthe red leadto positive (+) and

the blackto negative(-).

Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks

or any other source of heat around a battery.

Wear protective goggles, rubber apron

and rubber gloves when working around

a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an

extremely corrosive sulfuric acid solution

that can cause severe burns. If a spill occurs,

flush area with clear water immediately.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen

gas white recharging. An explosive mixture

wiii remain around the battery for a long

time after it has been charged. The slightest

spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an

explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the

battery and cause blindness or other serious

injury.

,_ NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting

the battery terminals to the charging jack.

Severe damage may occur to the generator

and battery.

2. Keepthe FlexPowerTM switch in the "OFF"(O)position.

3. Start the generatorand use it as normal. Chargingtime will

vary with batterysize andcondition. Checkthevoltageatthe

batteryterminalsoncethechargingcablehasbeenunplugged

LOCATION

If thegeneratoris goingto be storedfor morethan six (6) months,

thegeneratorshouldbe preparedasfollows:

1. Removeall gasolinefrom the fueltank.

2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel or

open the valve on carburetor bowl (Figure 13), and allow

gasoline to drain down tube into a receptacle. Discard

appropriately.Besureto closethevalveoncethegasolinehas

drained.

3. After the enginecools down, drain oil from crankcase.Refill

with recommendedgrade.

4. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of

engineoil intothecylinder.Coversparkplug holewith rag.Pull

the starting ropeseveraltimes to coat the cylinder walt with

engineoil.

5. Installandtightenthe spark plug.

6. Cleanthe generatorouter surfaces. Check that cooling air

slots andopeningson generatorareopen and unobstructed.

7. Storethe unit in a clean,dry place.

Do notstore gasolinefrom oneseasonto another.

If possible,store the unit indoorsand cover it to give protection

from dust anddirt.

TRANSPORTATIONAND STORAGE

Transportor store the generatoronly if it has cooled completely.

Makesurethe fuel valve and the vent on the fuel cap are both in

the OFF("0") position.

It is important to preventgum depositsfrom forming in essential

fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel hoseor tank during

long-termstorage.Also, experienceindicatesthat alcohol-blended

fuels (calledgasohol, ethanolor methanol) can attract moisture,

which leadsto separationandformationof acids;theseacids gas

can damagethe fuel systemof an enginewhile in storage.

Toavoid engineproblems,the useof a commercial fuel stabilizer

prior to storage is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's

instructionswhenaddingthefuel stabilizer.
