NOTE:
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke lever to
the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to sparkplug
fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE:
For restarts with hot engine in hot ambient > 30°C (86°F) Keep choke lever in “75% Choke” detent position
for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE:
For gasoline starting in in cold ambient < 15°C (59°F) the choke must be in the 100% “CHOKE” detent
position for both electric and recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually
move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over 5-20 second.
LPG
(
with Propane
)
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Fully open the LPG(
with Propane
) cylinder knob.
4. Turn the LPG(
with Propane
) fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
6. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position.
7. ELECTRIC START; Move the choke lever to the 75% Choke” detent position. (A)
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke lever to the “75% CHOKE” detent position.
8. Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position. Release as the engine begins to start. If the
engine tails to start within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting
to start the engine again.
9. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over
2-5 second.
10. RECOIL START; Move the choke lever to the 100% Choke” detent position.
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke lever to the 100% CHOKE
”
detent position.
11. PULL-T0-PRIME; Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. Pull with
“
100% Choke
”
1
—
2 times until you feel a few combustion pulses that indicate that the engine
momentarily started.
12. Move the choke lever to the
“
RUN
”
position.
13. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
14. If engine fails to start in 1-pul with choke in the
“
RUN
”
, then move choke to
“
100% Choke
”
and
repeat the PULL-TO-PRIME step.
NOTE:
For LPG(
with Propane
) starting in cold ambient < 15
°
C (59
°
F) Move the choke lever to the
“
75%
Choke
”
detent position for electric starting and
“
100% Choke
”
for recoil start. For electric start,
gradually move the choke lever to the
“
RUN
”
position over 2-10 second duration. To pull to prime for
recoil start Pull with
“
100% Choke
”
1-3 times until you feel a few combustion pulses that indicates that
the engine momentarily started.
CAUTION:
If the ignition switch is held down in the
“
Start
”
position longer than 5 seconds it could
damage the starter.
NOTE:
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls
below a critical threshold.
