4. Move the choke lever to the “closed” position.
5. Set the engine switch to the “on” position.
6. Slowly pull on the recoil starter handle, shown in Figure 4, until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull briskly to start the engine. Gently return the
cord into the generator to avoid damage to the starter or housing. Never allow the cord to snap back.
