Engine Key Positions:
Off: Key should be in the OFF position when generator is not in use. Key may also be turned
to the off position to stop the engine.
ON: Key should be in the ON positions while engine is running or prior to starting the engine
with the remote or recoil starter.
START: Turn key to start position to start the engine.
Do not turn the key switch to START position when the engine is running.
Doing so may damage the starting motor.
Do not leave key in the ignition unattended.
For starting instructions, see STARTING THE GENERATOR on page 19.
Recoil Starter:
The recoil starter may be used to start the engine instead of the key or if the battery is discharged.
To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. Repeat as
necessary to start. See STARTING THE GENERATOR on page 16 for more information.
Do not allow the recoil starter handle to snap back against the engine. Return
it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
When
starting the engine by recoil starter, set the key switch to the ON
position and pull the recoil starter handle.
Gasoline Fuel Valve:
The gasoline fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor.
When the lever is in the off (horizontal) position, the valve is closed and
gasoline will not flow from the gas tank to the engine.
When the valve lever is turned to the ON (vertical) position, gasoline is
allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
Be sure to return the fuel valve lever to the OFF position after stopping the
engine.
Choke Lever:
The choke is used to help start a cold engine. The choke shutter reduces
the amount of air being mixed with fuel, thus providing an enriched fuel
mixture which combusts more easily. To close (engage) the choke for
starting, slide the choke lever to the left (toward the rear of the generator.
Once the engine has started and is running steadily, the choke should be
opened (disengaged) by turning the lever to the right to the open position.
Ground Terminal:
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-
carrying parts of the generator and the ground terminals of each receptacle.
