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
damage 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 voltage
sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, micro-
waves, 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
fluctuations and can damage equipment and
appliances.
Porter-Cable Corporation will only be
responsible for damage to customer's
equipment when the generator is determined to
be defective. This 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 electrical connections at the
customer's site of operation and test the
generator for proper operation before any
determination of liability is made. Failure to
maintain the equipment or wiring for 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.
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. Turn counter
clockwise until the valve stops.
2. Place the ON/OFF switch located on the engine
in the ON position.
3. 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. 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.
NOTE: LOW OIL LIGHT WILL "FLICKER" WHEN
ROPE STARTER IS PULLED IF ENGINE OIL IS
LOW.
5. 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.
