11. ENGINE START
Before starting the engine make sure that the total power of tools or
power consumers corresponds to the rated power of the generator.
Do not exceed the rated power of the generator. Do not connect
any devices before the engine start! In the power supply mode, the
generator should operate no longer than 30 minutes in the range
from rated to maximum power.
11.1. GASOLINE POWERED GENERATOR ENGINE START
1. Move the fuel valve to the “OPEN” position.
2. Set the air choke to the closed position.
3. To start the generator manually, grasp the starter handle and slowly pull
it until resistance is felt. Pull the starter cord to the full length with a sharp
movement.
4. Set the air choke to the “OPEN” position.
Before connecting any devices to the generator, make sure that they are in
good condition. If the device that was connected suddenly stopped or failed,
immediately disconnect the power using a safety switch, disconnect the device
and check it out.
Do not connect two or more devices simultaneously. The start-up
of many devices requires high power. Devices should be connected
in turn according to their power rating. Do not connect any power
consumers within the first 3 minutes after the generator start.
