STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that the generator is outside on a dry, level surface. Allow at
least two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator.
2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded.
See page 16, “GROUND THE GENERATOR.”
3. Check that there is a sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil
if necessary. Refer to page 12, “STEP 1 - ADD / CHECK OIL.”
4. If using gasoline, make sure there is enough gasoline in the fuel
tank. Add fuel if necessary (see “ADD / CHECK FUEL”). If using LPG,
make sure there is enough propane in the tank, and that the tank and
regulator hose are properly connected.
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 (GASOLINE)
1. Place the generator outside on a dry, level surface. Allow at least
two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator.
2. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if
necessary (refer to “ADD / CHECK OIL” on page 12).
3. Check there is sufficient level of gasoline in the fuel tank. Add fuel
if necessary (refer to “ADD GASOLINE” on page 14).
4. To maximize safety, make sure the generator is properly grounded
(refer to “GROUND THE GENERATOR” on page 16).
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator
during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for the engine to start.
6. Turn the ECO-MODE switch to “OFF” during starting (Fig. 8 - 1).
7. Turn the 4-in-1 switch (Fig. 9 - 1) to the “CHOKE” position.
8. Pull on the recoil starter handle (Fig. 10) slowly until a slight resis-
tance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently
into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to snap back.
9. Turn the 4-in-1 switch (Fig. 9 - 1) to the “RUN” position.
10. Allow the engine to run for several minutes before attempting to
connect any electrical devices. This allows the generator to stabilize
its speed and temperature.
