Starting the Generator
1. Before starting the generator, check for loose
or missing parts and for any damage which
may have occurred during shipment.
2. Check oil level and fuel.
6. Move the choke lever to the “START” position.
5. Flip the engine switch to the “ON”(l) position.
8. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts
and warms up, move the choke lever to the
“RUN” position.
9. Allow generator to run at no load for few
minutes upon each initial start-up to permit
engine and generator to stablize.
WARNING
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” (l)position.
7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly.
3. Disconnect all electrical loads from the
generator. Never start or stop the generator
with electrical devices plugged in or turned
on.

Keep choke lever in “START” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move
choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the
next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke
leads to sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due
to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the
engine not to start.
