Move the generator at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine.
After initial fueling (or anytime the generator is run completely out of
fuel), starting the engine may require additional pulls of the starter
grip. This generator utilizes a vacuum operated fuel pump and may
require additional pulls to draw fuel into the carburetor.
