the Choke Lever in the “RUN” position when starting a
warm Engine.

the Rope to rewind slowly. Repeat as necessary, until the
Engine starts.

Break-in Period:
Breaking-in the Engine will help to ensure proper
equipment and Engine operation, and will extend
the Engine’s lifespan. The warranty is void if
the Engine is not broken in properly. The first
25 hours of operation is the break-in period.
During this time frame, DO NOT exceed 75%
of the Generator’s load limit. In other words,
the maximum load during this break-in period
should be no more than 600 watts.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent
maintenance follows the schedule explained in
the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING section.
