13. Allow generator to run at no load for few
minutes upon each initial start-up to permit
engine and generator to stablize.
A WARNING
&
Starter cord kickback(rapid
retraction) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can
let go which could cause broken
bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in
serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
NRE:
Keep choke lever in "CHOKE" 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.
NRE:
If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure
unit is on a level surface and check for proper
oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped
with a low oil protection device.
If so, oil must
be at proper level for engine to start.
Electric Start Operations
This model is provided with recoil start and
electric start capabilities. The charger is a low
amperage maintenance type charger. It will

Avoid prolonged cranking, as it can damage
the engine.
A WARNING
Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen
gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open
flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment in
the area while charging.
A WARNING
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric
acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns. Do not allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, etc.
[f contact or spillage does occur,
