STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that generator is outside on a dry, level surface with at least two feet of clearance on all sides.
2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see “Ground the Generator”).
3. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (see “Add / check Oil”).
4. Make sure there is sufficient level of gasoline in the fuel tank. Add fuel if necessary (see “Add / check Fuel”).
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for
the engine to start.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Turn the ECO-MODE (Fig. 8) switch to “OFF” during starting.
2. Turn the 3-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 9) to the “CHOKE” position.
3. Pull the recoil starter to start the engine.
4. Turn the 3-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 9) to the "RUN" position.
5. Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempt-
ing to connect any electrical devices. This allows the generator to
stabilize its speed and temperature.
6. Connect electrical devices.
