7.5 STARTING MODES
ELECTRIC START
Turn and keep the key to “START” position till the
engine is started. After the engine is started, release
the key to return to “RUN” position.
MANUAL START
Turn the switch to “RUN” position. Flick the switch
button to the open position, and then seize the
starter handle and slowly pull until there is a sense of
resistance, and quickly pull to start.
WARNING
KICKBACK
• Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull
hand and arm towards the engine faster than
you can let go. Unintentional startup can result
in serious injury.
• If the electric starter fails to start the engine,
immediately turn off the starter. Do not attempt
to restart the engine before the failure of the
cause has been identified. Don’t restart the
engine by replacement of other storage battery
without authorisation.
CAUTION
• If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts and
or flames out after starting, inspect and ensure
that the generator has been placed on a flat
horizontal surface and has enough engine oil.
• During starting, do not turn the starting switch
to “start” position for more than 5 seconds as
this could damage the motor and void warranty.
If the unit fails to start after the first attempt,
restart only after 1O seconds has passed. After
the unit has been used for a period of time, if
the starting speed of the motor falls, please
replace the battery.
• During the operation of the unit, the battery
supplies power to the solenoid valve of the
carburetor. When the unit is turned off, make
sure that the starting switch is in “OFF”
position, otherwise the storage battery voltage
is reduced due to the operating solenoid valve
of the carburetor, impacting on starting for next
time.
• If the engine is equipped with an engine oil
alarm, the engine may not start if the engine
oil in the crankcase is lower than the minimum
required level. During the operation of the unit,
routinely inspect the engine oil levels. See
maintenance section for further details.
7.6 When the engine operates stably, pull the choke
valve to “CLOSE “ position.
7.7 The generator may be normally loaded.
WARNING
Connect the output terminal of the generator with
the electric equipment. Don’t start or stop the engine
when the electric equipment is in “ON” status.
