Starting procedure
1. Before operating the generator, follow all instructions in Section 3.1
and Section 3.1.9.
2. Start the generator:
a. Disconnect all loads.
b. For models with an idler switch, turn the idler off.
c. If the generator has a fuel shutoff valve (located under the fuel
tank), open the valve fully (turn it counterclockwise) to permit
the flow of fuel from the tank to the engine.
d. Adjust the carburetor choke as necessary.
■
Cold-starting requires full choke.
■
LP- and NG-powered generators do not require a choke for
starting.
■
Diesel-powered generators do not have a choke.
e. Start the engine using the electric starter or recoil cord,
referring to engine manufacturer’s instructions if necessary.
f. When the engine starts, close the choke.
g. For models with a ground-fault sensing module on the control
panel, ensure the green light on the panel is lit.
3. Apply loads:
a. Before connecting any load to the generator, run the engine
for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to reach normal operating
temperature.
b. Apply loads by inserting plugs into the proper receptacles and
turning on connected equipment.
c. See Section 3.2.2 for details about applying loads.
CAUTION
Load on generator at startup or shutdown can damage
equipment.
Remove all electric loads from the generator before starting or
