7. Brace one hand against the frame and
firmly grasp recoil handle. Pull slowly until
increased resistance is felt, then pull rap-
idly up and away.
8. When engine starts, move choke lever to
1/2-choke position until engine runs
smoothly, then fully into RUN position. If
engine falters, move choke back to 1/2-
choke position until engine runs smoothly,
then to RUN position.
NOTE: If engine fires, but does not continue to
run, move choke lever to Full Choke and
repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not overload the
generator. Also, do not overload individual
panel receptacles. These outlets are pro-
tected against overload with push-to-reset-
type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of
any circuit breaker is exceeded, that
breaker opens and electrical output to that
receptacle is lost. Read Know Generator
Limits carefully.
