3. Starting the Engine
After you have completed the pre-start checklist procedures, you are ready to start the engine.
To start the engine:
1) Disconnect all loads to the generator.
2) Turn the gasoline line valve to the ON position.
3) For cold engine, move choke lever to full choke position. To restart a warm engine, move choke
lever to half choke or to RUN position.
4) Start the engine:
a) Using electric start –
i) Turn the engine key switch to the START position and hold it there until the engine starts.
NOTE : If the engine fails to start after 5 seconds, release key and wait 10 seconds
before attempting to start again. Cranking the electric starter for more than 5
seconds continuously can overheat and damage the starter motor.
ii) Release the key when the engine starts.
b) Using recoil start –
i)
Turn the engine key switch to the ON position.
ii) Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull the starter cord out briskly
and rapidly.
iii) Allow starter cord to return slowly.
5) When engine starts, move choke lever to RUN position.
6) Under long, continuous-run operating conditions, be prepared to:
a) Check and refuel the engine on a regular basis. A tank of gas should last about 9.5 hours under
50% load.
WARNING :
A running engine is hot enough to ignite fuel. Never add fuel or remove gas cap if engine
is running or still hot. Let cool at least 2 minutes.
b) Check engine oil level each time you refuel.
c) Change oil after the first 20 operating hours, and at least every 100 operating hours thereafter,
as directed in the engine owner’s manual.
WARNING:
Never open oil port while engine is running. Hot oil can spray over face and body.
