3.2.6 Starting the generator
1. Before operating the generator, follow all instructions in Section 3.1
and Section 3.1.9.
2. Start the generator:
a. Disconnect all loads.
b. For models with an idler switch, turn the idler off.
c. If the generator has a fuel shutoff valve (located under the fuel
tank), open the valve fully (turn it counterclockwise) to permit
the flow of fuel from the tank to the engine.
d. Adjust the carburetor choke as necessary.
■ Cold-starting requires full choke.
■ LP- and NG-powered generators do not require a choke for
starting.
■ Diesel-powered generators do not have a choke.
CAUTION
Load on generator at startup or shutdown can damage
equipment.
Remove all electric loads from the generator before starting or
stopping the engine.
