ANGLE OF OPERATION Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenever you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound. The engine is designed to run in a level position for best performance. It can operate at an angle, but this should never be more than 15 degrees in any direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level at the FULL mark as it would be in its normal level condition. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle. GX 271 Chopper A-4 A-4 INSTALLATION HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above (6,000 feet) 1,800 meters, have a engine dealer perform this carburetor modification. Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. Do not operate a modified engine below 6,000 feet. LIFTING The GX-271 weighs approximately 469 lbs/212 kg. A lift bail is mounted to the machine frame and should always be used when lifting the machine. ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury. . Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder. . Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity. . Be sure machine is stable when lifting. PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE CAUTION READ and UNDERSTAND the engine operating and maintenance instructions supplied with this machine. WARNING • Keep hands way from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts. • Stop the engine when fueling. • Do not smoke when fueling. • Do not overfill the fuel tank. • Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine. • Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank. OIL The GX-271 is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it to the full mark. For more information on oil viscosity and service conditions, see the MAINTENANCE section of this manual and the engine Operator’s Manual. GX 271 Chopper A-5 A-5 INSTALLATION FUEL Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh regular grade lead- free gasoline. Observe the fuel gauge while filling to prevent overfilling. The GX-271 has a 9 U.S. gallon (7.5 Imp. Gal., 34L) fuel tank mounted below the generator. See the Engine Owners Manual for more details about the fuel. BATTERY CONNECTIONS WARNING GASES FROM BATTERY can explode. . Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from battery. To prevent EXPLOSION when: . INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY — disconnect negative cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last. . CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER — remove battery from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well ventilated. . USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to battery first then connect negative lead to negative battery lead at engine foot. BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and skin. . Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when working near battery. . Follow instructions printed on battery. IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE WHEN: a) Installing new batteries. b) Using a booster. Use correct polarity — Negative Ground. The GX-271 is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Before you operate the machine, make sure the Engine Switch is in the STOP position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the negative (-) battery terminal. Remove the insulating cap from the negative battery terminal. Replace and tighten negative battery cable terminal. NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged battery; if unused for several months, the battery may require a booster charge. Be sure to use the correct polarity when charging the battery. MUFFLER CAUTION Shut off the machine and allow the muffler to cool before touching the muffler. The GX-271 is shipped with a rain cap that is easily attached to the top exhaust. SPARK ARRESTER Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could present a fire hazard. Standard mufflers do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly maintained. An optional spark arrester kit is available for your GX 271. See the ACCESSORIES section of this manual for more information. CAUTION An incorrect spark arrester...
