5. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
6. When engine starts running, move choke lever slowly to the
“RUN” position over a 2-5 second period.
7. Plug in devices.
NOTICE
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil
cord. After first pull, move choke to “RUN” position for up to
3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient >
86°F (30°C)
, keep choke in 75% of the “CHOKE” position for
only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, move choke to
“RUN” position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much
choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack
of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C),
the choke must be in 100% of the “CHOKE” position
for recoil cord procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as
engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position over a 2-5 second duration.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the
generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped
with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
Starting the Engine: Propane (LPG)
