IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating
of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the Generator"
carefully.

• To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in the
"Start" position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When
the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.
• When the engine starts, move choke knob to "1/2 Choke" position
until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the "Run" position.
If engine falters, move choke knob back out to "1/2 Choke" position
until the engine runs smoothly and then to "Run" position.
• This generator is also equipped with a manual recoil starter which
may be used if the battery is discharged.
The switch must be in the RUN position.
• To start manually, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away to start
engine. Then follow the same choke sequence.
