6. Manual Start
Hand recoil starting
CAUTION:
Check starter cord conditions before operating. Have It replaced immediately by local author -
ized dealer If cord is frayed.
When starting engine, grasp the recoil starter handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt.
Then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. When pulling the recoil starter, firmly grasp the carrying handle to
avoid tumble of generating set.
WARNING: KICKBACK
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains.
If the starter cannot drive the engine to rotate, turn off the starter immediately. Do not attempt to
start the engine again before finding the causes of the fault. Prohibit the unauthorized change of other
battery for re-start.
WARNING: The engine starts time cannot exceed 15 minutes. If the engine fails to start, allow the start -
ing motor to cool for one minute before restart. Failure to operate according to this rule will damage
the starting motor.
CAUTION: If the engine fails to start after attempt for 3 times or flames out after starting, inspect and
ensure that the generating set is placed in horizontal surface and enough engine oil is injected.
If engine is equipped with an engine oil alarm, it is possible to prevent engine start when the engine oil
In the crankcase is lower than the minimum level.
During running-in, routinely inspect the engine oil. See maintenance section for recommended mainte -
nance period.
After the engine starts successfully, and the temperature has been increased, push the choke lever to
open the choke valve. If the engine runs unstably (shaking exists), push the choke lever to the HALF
open position. Then push it to the FULL open position after engine runs stably.
CAUTION: If the engine is in warm state, open the choke lever when restart the engine.
Electric starting (if applicable)
Press the engine switch and release it after the engine starts.
If the starter cannot crank the engine, please release the switch button. Do not attempt to start the
engine again before figuring out the cause(s).
Modification or using other battery to start the engine is not allowed.
If the engine speed is raised to the speed over the starter but does not keep running (fails to start),
then the engine must be completely stopped before starting again. If when the flywheel starts to rotate
automatically, the starter is still engaged, then there may be a conflict between the flywheel external
gear and the starter pinions, and this may cause damage to the starter.
WARNING: When the starting battery of the generator set is low in voltage and pull starting the genera -
tor does not work, please make sure the fuel tap is in the on position. Please try and operate the choke
lever according to the below diagram. This will add choke to the engine to help the generator engine to
start when the battery is low in volts and not being able to move the choke automatically.
Wireless remote control (If applicable)
• Turn on the remote control switch.
• Press the START button and hold for more than 0.3s for startup.
NOTE: Sometimes the generator can take a few attempts to start in cold weather. If machine does not
start in the first 10 seconds, wait for 30 seconds before attempting again.
If the motor turns a little then stops when you press the Start key, it may indicate a low battery.
Charge the battery before operation or start by recoil start.
