OPERATION
Starting Generator
Before starting make sure nothing is connected to the
generator and it is in a stable position. The economy control
switch should be in the OFF position until the generator and
the later connected devices are running smoothly.
1. Turn the fuel tank cap air vent to the OPEN position. SEE
FIGURE 4
2. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. SEE FIGURE 4
3. Push engine switch to the RUN position. SEE FIGURE 5
4. Press the primer bulb six times with the choke in the RUN
position. SEE FIGURE 6
NOTE: Priming the engine should only be necessary for
cold starts and after refueling.
5. Move choke lever to the CHOKE position. SEE FIGURE 6
NOTE: The choke is not necessary if the engine is warm.
6. Use one hand to securely hold the carrying handle of the
generator. With the other hand pull the starter handle
slowly until resistance is felt (this is the “compression”
point). Return the handle to its original position and then
pull swiftly. Do not fully extend the rope. After starting,
slowly return the starter handle to its original position.
