Where should I operate the generator?

Troubleshooting
Engine will not start
Check that the fuel tank is full, the fuel valve is open, and the oil level is sufficient to deactivate the low-oil sensor.

Check the circuit breaker on the front panel and ensure the device being powered does not exceed the generator's 900W maximum rating.
