STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures 11 - 14.
NOTICE:
On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant
level before each use of the generator.
NOTE: If location of generator is not level, the unit may not
start or may shut down during operation.
Unplug all loads from the generator.
Turn the fuel valve to the ON (I) position.
Pull the choke out to the START position.
NOTE: If engine is warm or the temperature is above
50˚F, push the choke in to the RUN position.
Put the engine switch in the ON (I) position.
Slide the lock button down and hold the button while
pushing the engine switch to the START position.
NOTE: The battery may require charging before the gen-
erator can be started using only the engine switch. The
generator can be started by pulling the recoil starter grip.
Once the generator is started, the battery will charge as
the unit runs. If the engine switch will not start the unit
once the battery has been fully charged, check the fuse
and replace if needed following instructions in Changing
Engine Battery Charge Circuit Fuse in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
The generator can also be started by pulling the recoil
starter grip until the engine runs (a maximum of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move
the choke to the RUN position.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
