5. IMPORTANT: Once the Generator is on, turn the Choke Lever back to the right (to
off position). NOTE: If you leave the Choke Lever to the left, the Generator will likely
turn off by itself or the gas will be used up too quickly.
Turning Generator OFF
1. Turn the Motor Switch to Stop (turns it off)
