Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never
start or stop the generator manually with electrical devices
plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the gasoline fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Push the engine switch to the “ON” position.
5. Pull the choke to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. Several pulls may be required.
7. Once engine starts, push choke button to the “RUN”
position.
"
NOTICE
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil
starter. After first pull, press choke to “RUN” position for
up to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming
air. This will cause the engine not to start.
"
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient
temperature > 86°F (30°C), keep the choke in “CHOKE”
position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull,
press choke to the “RUN” position for 3 more pulls of the
recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/
engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause
the engine not to start.
"
NOTICE
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C), the choke must be in 100% of “CHOKE” position
for recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as
engine starts, press the choke button to the “RUN” position.
