TO START THE ENGINE

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor

ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains

carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

1. Open the fuel shut-off valve on tank and engine.

2. Move the choke control located on the engine to

"CHOKE" position.

NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines. Make

sure choke is in the "RUN" position on warm engine

starts.

4. Move the ON/OFF switch on engine to the ON

position.

5. Grasp handle on rope starter and pull slowly until

resistance is felt. Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull

rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope rewind

slowly. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: IF ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS TOO LOW, ENGINE

WILL NOT START. CHECK OIL LEVEL AND ADD IF

NECESSARY.

6. When engine starts, gradually move the choke to

the "RUN" position.

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5

minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and

generator to stabilize.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Disconnect all electrical loads.

2. Turn ON/OFF switch to "OFF" position.

3. Close fuel shut-off valve.

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

1. Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after

starting with no electrical load.

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent dam-

age to equipment:

2. Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive

loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water

pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools.

Connect the items that require the most wattage

first. See Wattage Calculation Section in this

manual.

3. Connect the lights next.

4. Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last

equipment connected to the generator. Plug volt-

age sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, mi-

crowaves, ovens, computers, and cordless tele-

phones into a UL listed voltage surge protector,

then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector

to the generator.

Failure to connect and operate equipment in this

sequence can cause damage to equipment and

will void the warranty on your generator.

Follow the wattage calculation table in the

Wattage Calculation section of this manual.

Overloading the generator will cause power fluctu-

ations and can damage equipment and appli-

ances.

Porter-Cable Corporation will only be responsible

for damage to customer's equipment when the

determination will only be made by an authorized

representative of Porter-Cable Corporation and

this decision will be final. Porter-Cable

Corporation reserves the right to inspect the elec-

trical connections at the customer's site of opera-

tion and test the generator for proper operation

before any determination of liability is made.

inspection will void any claim for damages by the

customer. Porter-Cable Corporation will not be

responsible for equipment damaged as a result of

voltage surges, improper operation or improper

installation of the generator.
