Operation
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to
FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating
of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the Generator"
carefully.

STARTING ELECTRIC START ENGINES
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged
into the receptacles AND devices turned on.
1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before
starting the engine.
2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in any
direction).
3. Open the fuel shut-off valve (Figures 10).
4. Move engine CHOKE knob outward to FULL CHOKE position
(Figure 12).
5. To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in the
"Start" position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When
the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.
6. When the engine starts, move choke knob to "1/2 Choke"
position until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the
"Run" position. If engine falters, move choke knob back out to
"1/2 Choke" position until the engine runs smoothly and then to
"Run" position.
2.9.1 MANUAL START
This generator is also equipped with a manual recoil starter which
may be used if the battery is discharged.
The switch must be in the RUN position. Use one of the
generator's receptacle outlets along with the included battery
charger to charge the battery while the generator is running.
• To start manually, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away to start
engine. Then follow the same choke sequence.
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to
FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating
of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the Generator"
carefully.
2.10 STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move Run/Stop switch to OFF position.
4. Close fuel valve.
