NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, consult the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist, call 1-866-460-9437, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time. 8. Once the engine has started and runs for about a minute, move the choke lever approximately half way towards the “open” position. Wait an additional 30 seconds and then move the choke lever completely over to the “open” position. 9. Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices. Figure 4 - Fuel Valve in the “on” position Figure 5 - Choke Lever in the “closed” position. (Refer to the Generator Components chart to find the location of the Choke Lever.) Figure 6 - Pull-cord for starting the engine. USING THE GENERATOR After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator. AC Usage Electrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements. The rated (running) and surge wattage for this ACDelco Model AC-G0004 5500 Surge Watts/ 5000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator is 5,000 and 5,500, respectively. Model AC-G0004 Rated (Running) Wattage 5000 Model AC-G0004 Surge Wattage 5500 The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage a generator can output on a continuous basis. The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time. Many electrical devices, such as a refrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc., in addition to their listed rated wattage. Motorized devices typically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power requirement. The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to a generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices to be connected, look up the rated (running) wattage of each device and add these numbers together to find the total wattage that all of the devices together will draw from the generator. If the total wattage of the selected devices exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all of the devices. Select a combination of the electrical devices that will have a total wattage less than or equal to the rated wattage for the generator, i.e., no more than 5000 for this ACDelco Model AC-G0004 5500 Surge Output / 5000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator. This generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of this generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of a generator. A device's rated (running) wattage should be listed somewhere on the device itself and/or in its manual. If the wattage specification for a device is not available, the wattage can be calculated by multiplying the Voltage requirement (120 or 240) by the Amperage drawn. Watts = Volts x Amperes Or, the wattage required by a device can be estimated by using the following chart (see Figure 7). The chart provides only estimates and it is better to know the exact wattage of each electrical device to be powered by this generator.

Connect electrical devices to this generator according to the following procedure: 1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started. 2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator. Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock. Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly sto...
