alternator may be damaged. Refer to Fig 4.7

Do not try to electric start more than 3 times in one attempt. Failure to do so may damage the generator set.

5. Push the choke lever to the OPEN position as the engine warms up. The choke is used to provide the proper mixture

when the engine is cold. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever manually by moving the lever to the

closed position to enrich the mixture for cold starting.

HPG7500 generator set.

NOTE:

Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or if the air temperature is higher than 50°F (10°C).

NOTE:

During warm-up period, keep the Idle-Control OFF until the engine reaches operating temperature. Otherwise the warm-up

periods are extended.
