Starting
1. Make sure the generator is on a flat and level
surface.
2. Make sure the electrical powered
tools/equipment that will be used are not
plugged into the generator while the engine is
started.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Pull the choke rod out.
5. Turn the engine power switch to its “ON”
position.
6. For “Electric Start” models (‘E’ and ‘EB’), turn
key to the start position and hold until engine
starts. If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key and wait at least 10
seconds before attempting to start the engine
again.
7. For “Recoil Start”, hold the start handle loosely
and pull it slowly several times to allow the
gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor.
Then hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope
hard and fast. Pull the rope all the way out, using two
hands if necessary. If necessary pull the rope
several times until the engine starts.
1. Allow the engine to idle until warm. Then, slowly
push choke to the unchoked position. Units with the
vacuum control will automatically unchoke as the
motor warms up. Check to make sure the choke rod in
all the way.
Note: If the engine starts but does not run, make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
