STARTING THE ENGINE
To start the generator, perform the following steps:
1. Unplug all electrical devices from the generator during starting. Otherwise it can be difficult for the engine to
start.
2. Check that the generator is properly grounded (Refer to “Ground the Generator”).
3. Check the oil and fuel levels.
4. Turn the ESC switch to “OFF.”
5. Open vacuum relief valve on top of fuel cap (Figure 4). Rotate clockwise to the “ON” position.
6. Turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “CHOKE” position.
7. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to snap back.
8. Once the engine has started, slowly turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “ON” position.
Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempting to connect any electrical devices. This allows
the generator to stabilize its speed and temperature.
