Starting
1. Make sure the generator is on a flat and level
surface.
2. Make sure the electrical powered
tools/equipment that will be used are not
plugged into the generator while the engine is
started.
3. Turn the 120 volt AC circuit breaker to its “ON”
position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Pull the choke rod out.
6. Turn the engine power switch to its “ON”
position.
7. For “Electric Start”, turn the key to the start
position and hold until engine starts. If the
engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release
the key and wait at least 10 seconds before
attempting to start the engine again.
8. For “Recoil Start”, hold the start handle loosely
and pull it slowly several times to allow the
gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor. Then
hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope hard and
fast. Pull the rope all the way out, using two hands if
necessary. If necessary pull the rope several times
until the engine starts.
9. Allow the engine to idle until warm. Then, slowly push
choke to the unchoked position. Units with the vacuum
control will automatically unchoke as the motor warms
up. Check to make sure the choke rod in all the way.
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.
