OPERATION
4. Make sure the Eco-Throttle
switch is in the OFF position, or
more time will be required for
warm-up.
If you wish to use the
Eco-Throttle system, turn the
Eco-Throttle switch to the ON
position after the engine has
warmed up for 2 or 3 minutes.
5. Start the engine.
Using the electric starter:
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 be drained. Turn the
engine switch to the OFF position when not in use.
