TO START THE ENGINE
(Recoil start/Pull start)
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. See Figure 7.
2. (if equipped) On the engine there is a ON/OFF
switch located on the front panel of the engine.
Place this switch to 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.
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.
TO START GENERATOR
(Electric start)

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 telephones
into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then con-
nect 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.
DeVilbiss Air Power Company will only be re-
sponsible for damage to customer's equipment
when the generator is determined to be defec-
tive. This determination will only be made by an
authorized representative of DeVilbiss Air Power
Company and this decision will be final.
DeVilbiss Air Power Company reserves the right
to inspect the electrical connections at the
customer's site of operation and test the genera-
tor for proper operation before any determination
of liability is made. Failure to maintain the equip-
ment or wiring for inspection will void any claim
for damages by the customer. DeVilbiss Air
Power Company will not be responsible for
equipment damaged as a result of voltage
surges, improper operation or improper installa-
tion of the generator.
