• Move engine CHOKE knob to 

“Full Choke”

position.

Figure 17 - Full Choke Position

•  To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in

the “Start” position.  The engine will crank and attempt to start.

When the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.

•  When the engine starts, move choke knob to “1/2 Choke” position until

the engine runs smoothly and then to “Run” position. If engine falters,

move choke knob to “1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs

smoothly and then to “Run” position.

Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to “Full Choke” and repeat starting
instructions.

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

•  Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from

generator panel receptacles.  Never start or stop the engine

with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

•  Turn “Off” the Idle Control switch (if on).
•  Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the

internal temperatures of engine and generator.

•  Move Start/Run/Stop switch to “Off” position.
•  Close fuel valve.

IMPORTANT

: Do not overload the generator.  Also, do not

overload individual panel receptacles.  These outlets are protected

against overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers.  If

amperage rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker

opens and electrical output to that receptacle is lost.  Read “Don’t

Overload the Generator” on page 9 carefully.

2.9 AUTOMATIC IDLE CONTROL

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.  When

this switch is turned 

On,”

the engine will only run at its normal

fast governed engine speed when electrical load is connected.

When the load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed

of 2100 RPM.  With the switch 

Off,”

the engine runs at the

normal fast engine speed all the time. 

Always have the

switch OFF when starting and stopping the engine.

2.10 COLD WEATHER OPERATION/

DE-ICER

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40° F (4°

C) and a high dew point), the engine may experience icing of the

carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.  To eliminate

this problem, this generator engine is fitted with a winter/summer

valve.  this directs hot air into the carburetor during cold weather

operation.  Always make sure the winter/summer valve is in the

correct location relative to the weather conditions.

2.11 LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN

SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts

down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below

10 psi. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has

enough gasoline, check engine oil level.

2.11.1 INITIAL START-UP

A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure

to build during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for

about 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure.

2.11.2 SENSING LOW OIL PRESSURE

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine

shuts down.

2.11.3 RESTARTING

If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts

down, the engine may NOT start. The system needs 5 to 10

seconds to reset.

If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and have not

corrected the low oil pressure, the engine runs for about 10

seconds as described above and then stops.
