Operation

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Starting

1. Make sure the generator is on a flat and level

surface.

2. Make sure the electrical powered

tools/equipment that will be used are not

plugged into the generator while the engine is

started.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.

4. Pull the choke rod out.

5. Turn the engine power switch to its “ON”

position.

6. For “Electric Start” models (‘E’ and ‘EB’), turn

key to the start position and hold until engine

starts. If the engine fails to start within 5

seconds, release the key and wait at least 10

seconds before attempting to start the engine

again.

7. For “Recoil Start”, hold the start handle loosely

and pull it slowly several times to allow the

gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor.

Then hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope

hard and fast. Pull the rope all the way out, using two

hands if necessary. If necessary pull the rope

several times until the engine starts.

8. Allow the engine to idle until warm. The choke will

turn itself off with the vacuum control as the motor

warms up. Check to make sure the choke rod in all

the way.

Note: 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.
