2. Enstriksyon Sekirite

AVÈTISMAN: Si ou pa swiv enstriksyon sekirite sa yo, sa ka lakòz blesi grav oswa lanmò.

• Danje monoksid kabòn: Generators produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operate generators outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents.
• Danje dife: Gazolin se yon bagay ki ka pran dife fasil. Ranpli gaz la nan yon zòn ki byen ayere, kite motè a etenn epi kite l fre. Pa fimen toupre dèlko a.
• Danje chòk elektrik: Pa sèvi ak dèlko a nan kondisyon mouye. Asire w ke tout koneksyon elektrik yo byen sere epi byen konekte ak tè a.
• Sifas cho: The generator engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for a while after shutdown. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• Kenbe timoun yo lwen: Kenbe timoun ak bèt kay lwen jeneratè a, sitou pandan l ap fonksyone.
• Read All Labels: Pay attention to all warning and instruction labels on the generator itself.
• Bon vantilasyon: Ensure adequate ventilation around the generator during operation to prevent overheating.

WARNING: Use fresh, unleaded gasoline. Do not use E85 or mix oil with gasoline.

1. Asire w motè a etenn epi li frèt.
2. Move the generator to a well-ventilated outdoor area.
3. Retire bouchon gaz la.
4. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, avoiding spills. Do not fill above the red indicator or the bottom of the filler neck.
5. Remèt bouchon gaz la byen fèm. Siye nenpòt gaz ki koule imedyatman.

4.4 Grounding the Generator

For safety, always ground the generator before operation. Connect a heavy-gauge wire from the generator's grounding terminal to an external grounding rod or suitable earth ground.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon

5.1 Demaraj motè a (Demaraj ak rekile)

1. Asire w ke dèlko a sou yon sifas ki plat epi tout chaj elektrik yo dekonekte.
2. Vire valv gaz la nan pozisyon "ON".
3. Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position (cold engine). For a warm engine, set to "RUN".
4. Vire switch motè a nan pozisyon "ON".
5. Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly.
6. Yon fwa motè a kòmanse, deplase levye choke a dousman nan pozisyon "RUN".
7. Kite motè a chofe pou kèk minit anvan ou konekte chaj elektrik yo.

5.2 Starting the Engine (Electric Start - if equipped)

1. Asire w ke dèlko a sou yon sifas ki plat epi tout chaj elektrik yo dekonekte.
2. Vire valv gaz la nan pozisyon "ON".
3. Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position (cold engine). For a warm engine, set to "RUN".
4. Turn the engine switch to the "START" position and hold for a few seconds until the engine starts. Do not crank for more than 5 seconds at a time.
5. Once the engine starts, release the switch to the "ON" position and slowly move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
6. Kite motè a chofe pou kèk minit anvan ou konekte chaj elektrik yo.

5.3 Konekte Chaj Elektrik yo
