OPERATION
3. Make sure the Eco-Throttle switch is
in the OFF position, or more time
will be required for warm-up.
4. To start a cold engine, pull the
choke knob out to the CLOSED
position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the
choke knob in the OPEN position.
5. Turn the engine switch to the START
position, and hold it there until the
engine starts. When the engine
starts, release the key, allowing the
switch to return to the ON position.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait
at least 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time will overheat the
starter motor and can damage it.
Do not leave the engine switch in the ON position when the generator is not
operating as the battery will discharge. Turn the engine switch to the OFF
position when not in use.
