OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
CAUTION! Never start or stop the engine with
electrical loads connected to the receptacles AND
with the connected devices turned ON.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instruction steps by numerical order:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 3).
2. Place the choke lever in the “Choke” position
(Figure 4).
3. Set the rocker switch to “On” position (Figure 5).
4. Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt.Then pull rapidly to start engine.
5. Move choke lever to “Run” position a short distance at
a time over several seconds in warm weather or
minutes in cold weather. Let engine run smoothly before
each change. Operate with choke in “Run” position.
NOTE: If engine still fails to start after 3 pulls, check for
proper oil level in crankcase.This unit is equipped with a
low oil device which prevents the engine from being
started. See engine manual.
