STARTING THE ENGINE (FIG. 4)
To start the generator, perform the following steps:
1. Unplug all electrical devices from the generator during starting. Otherwise it
can be difficult to start the engine.
2. To maximize safety, make sure the generator is properly grounded (Refer to
“Ground the Generator”).
3. Check the oil and fuel levels.
4. Turn the ECO-MODE switch to “OFF.”
5. Open vacuum relief valve on top of fuel cap (Figure 4A). Rotate clockwise to
the “ON” position.
6. Turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “CHOKE” position (Figure 4B).
7. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt, then pull
quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never al-
low the cord to snap back.
8. Once the engine has started, slowly turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “ON” posi-
tion (Figure 4C).
9. To turn the generator off, turn the knob to the OFF position (Figure 4E).
Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempting to connect any
electrical devices. This allows the generator to stabilize its speed and tempera-
ture.
NOTE: Turn the knob to the Fuel Shut-off Position (Figure 4D) in order to
stop the flow of fuel from the gas tank to the engine.

ECO-MODE IDLE SWITCH
This generator is equipped with an Eco-Mode
Idle Control Switch. Engaging the switch auto-
matically adjusts the engine to match the load.
When the electrical load changes, the genera-
tor engine will automatically speed up and slow
down as needed. This reduces fuel consump-
tion and noise levels. Keep this switch engaged
when the power load requirement is less than
1000W. Do not engage the Idle Control Switch
when the total load is more than 1000W. The
generator engine must run at full speed to sup-
ply power for anything over 1000W.
