2. Pull choke button to “CHOKE” position.
3. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. Several pulls may be required.
4. Once engine starts, push choke button to the “RUN” position.
NOTICE
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil
starter. After first pull, press choke to “RUN” position for up
to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. 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
temperature > 86°F (30°C),
keep the choke in “CHOKE”
position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull,
press choke to the “RUN” position for 3 more pulls of the recoil
starter. 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 gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C),
the choke must be in 100% of “CHOKE” position for
recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine
starts, press the choke button to the “RUN” position.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. This engine is
equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine
from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
Connecting Electrical Loads
Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 (if applicable) Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
–
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
–
DO NOT overload the generator.
