OPERATING THE
GENERATOR

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use
the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.
IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a
level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut
down during operation.
2. Turn fuel valve to "On" position (Figure 3). The fuel
valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward
the ground) for fuel to flow.
Figure 3 — Fuel Valve
Fuel Valve is shown
in "On" position
3. Start engine according to instructions given in
engine operator's manual.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains
could result.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on
a level surface and check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil
protection device. See engine operator's manual.
