STARTING THE GENERATOR

CAUTION. Always check the oil level
before starting the engine (see Page 8).
Before starting the engine make sure
that all the electrical loads are disconnected from
the generator AC outlet socket.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position (Fig.6)
2. Turn the engine switch to the ON (I) position
(Fig.7).
3. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED position
(Fig.8).
4. Hold down the generator firmly with one hand
on the frame. With the other hand grip the
recoil starter cord handle (Fig.9) and pull and
return the rope gently 3-4 times to let the
engine breath in the fuel mixture from the
carburetor. Pull the cord sharply. Continue this
procedure until the engine starts.
CAUTION. Avoid damaging the plastic
case of the crankshaft while pulling the
rope. Aways return the recoil starter cord
handle slowly.
5. When the engine has been successfully started
and is running smoothly set the choke lever to
the OPEN position (Fig.10).
WARNING. Before connecting any
electrical load to the generator ensure
that the load does not exceed the
maximum load as stated on the rating plate.
Ensure that the mains supply lead is long enough
to reach the generator without any strain.
When the generator engine has been successfully
started and is running smoothly connect the
electrical load to the generators AC output socket.
