4. OPERATION
NOTE
• The generator has been shipped without engine oil.
Fill with oil or it will not start.
• Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This
could result in overfilling and damage the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE
• Before starting the engine, ensure there are no
appliances connected to the generator until the
engine has come to an idle.
PULL START
1. Turn the fuel petcock lever to the ON position.
2. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
3. Turn the choke lever to the
CHOKE position.
Not necessary if the engine is warm.
4. Pull the starter handle lowly until resistance is felt.
This is the compression point. Return the handle to
its original position and pull swiftly. Do not fully pull
out the rope. After starting, allow the starter handle
to return to its original position while still holding the
handle. Grasp the carrying handle firmly to prevent
the generator from falling over when pulling the recoil
stater.
5. Warm up the engine.
6. Turn the choke lever back to the
run position.
7. Once engine is warm, a load can be put onto the
generator.
