3. Choke
To start acold engine, close thechoke by moving thechoke control (19) to theright.
Torestart awarm engine, thechoke is not needed and should be in theopen position.
4. Set theengine switch (1) to I ON, this will also open thefuel cut-offvalve.
5. Slowly pull thestarter handle (2) until aslight resistance is felt. Thenpull thehandle briskly in thedirection
of thearrow to start theengine. DoNOT let go of thestarter handle as soon as theengine starts so that it
snaps back against thegenerator. Letit recoil gently to prevent any damage to thestarter.
6. The choke will not be needed if theengine is warm. Iftheengine is cold and thechoke has been used,
run theengine for about aminute and then set thechoke control (19) to thehalf-open position.
Afterafurther 30 seconds operation, open thechoke completely.
7. Allow theengine to run for acouple of minutes to ensure that it is running smoothly before connecting
the applied load or before switching to economy mode.
Economy mode
The generator has aselectable economy mode which reduces fuel consumption by lowering theengine idling
speed to alower level than normal when theapplied load is reduced or turned off. Theengine speed will increase
again automatically if theapplied load increases. Activate theeconomy mode by setting themode selector
switch(14) to OFF ( ).
Do not select theeconomy mode if theapplied load requires ahigh start-up power or high running power,
the engine might not be able to reach enough speed resulting in voltage fluctuations which might damage
the applied load.
Do not select theeconomy mode for applied loads that require only intermittent operation, momentary power,
or loads which will be turned on and off quickly. Inthese cases thenormal mode should be used and themode
selector set to ON ( ).
