2. Place the choke lever (Figure 14) in the

NOTICE

Both model generators are equipped with a GFCI

sensing module. The purpose of this module is to

sense a ground fault during operation of the generator

and shut down the generator once the ground fault has

been detected.
Multiquip recommends that the GFCI sensing module

be tested before each use of the generator. Reference

the maintenance section of this manual for the testing

of the GFCI sensing module.

5. If your generator is a recoil start only (no battery), grasp

the starter grip (Figure 16) and slowly pull it out. The

resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position,

corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter

grip briskly and smoothly for starting.
Proceed to step 6 if your unit is an electric start model

(battery installed).
