Move the lever to the CLOSED position to enrich the mixture. Pilot Lamp The pilot lamp is illuminated when the generator is operating normally.
Ground Terminal The gernerator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generater, the metal non-current carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Oil Alert System The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain the ON position). DC Terminals The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify the negative (-) terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal.) DC Circuit Breaker. Connections to a Building’s Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician.
The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. AC Operation 1. Start the engine (refer to page 24) and make sure the pilot lamp comes on.
