2.15 To Run Generator
Follow instructions below and read starting and stopping instuctions
found in Engine Owner’s Manual.
2.15.1 Disconnect all loads from the generator and place the main circuit
breaker in the open (O) position. Place auto idle switch to OFF (O)
position.
2.15.2 Open fuel valve (b1).
2.15.3 If engine is cold, pull choke control out (a1). If engine is hot, push
choke control in (a2).
2.15.4 Turn key switch to the start position (d3) and hold until engine starts.
NOTICE: Do not crank engine longer than 15 seconds at a time.
Extended cranking can damage starter motor.
To start engine using manual start: Turn key switch to the run position
(d2). Pull starter rope (c) rapidly to start engine.
Leave key in run position (d2) while engine is running.
Note: Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position when the engine is not
running. Leaving the key in the RUN position with the engine off will
drain the battery.
Note: Although the engine will start manually and will run without a
battery, it will only idle and the generator will not load, as the governor
requires that a battery be connected. See “Recommended Battery.”
Note: The engine is equipped with a low oil protection system. If the oil
level is low, the engine will not start. Check engine oil level if engine
does not start.
