Safe Operating Precautions
Starting the Engine
6. To start the generator using the ignition
key, turn the ignition switch to the
START position. When the engine
starts, release the key. Do not operate
the starter for more then 10 second
intervals. If it doesn't start turn the key
to the OFF position for 5 seconds before
repeating until it starts.
7. To start the generator, using the recoil,
lightly pull the starter recoil grip until
resistance is felt. Then, firmly pull
straight out.
Do not allow starter grip to snap back against the generator. Return it
gently to prevent damage to the starter.

CLOSE to start the engine, move it
to OPEN as the engine warms up.

select ON or OFF on the SMART
