lever to OFF after stopping the engine.
4) Choke
The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be
opened and closed by operating the choke lever or choke rod manually. Move the lever or the
rod to the CLOSE position to enrich the mixture.
5) Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant
overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the
circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again. The circuit breaker may be used to switch
the generator power ON or OFF.
