4)
Pull slowly on the recoil starter until it is engaged, then pull it briskly.
NOTE
: Grasp the carrying handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling
over when pulling the recoil starter.
5) After a cold engine is started, allow time to warm up so when the knob is turned to the RUN
position the generator will stay running.
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 8.5 hours @
1/4 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.
WARNING:
Never open oil port while engine is running. Hot oil can spray over face and body.
