6. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the
choke to the "RUN" position over a 2-5 second duration.
Keep choke in "CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil
starter. After first pull, move choke to "RUN" position for
up to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming
air. This will cause the engine not to start.
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient
temperature > 86°F (30°C), keep choke in 75% of the
"CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After
first pull, move choke to "RUN" position for up to 3 pulls
of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C), the choke must be in 100% of "CHOKE" position
for recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as
engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN"
position over a 2-5 second duration.
For Wireless and Electric Start only: A safety feature
is provided which delays the electrical power availability
during starting mode. The delay lasts for approximately 15
seconds. The delay is provided to prevent damage to the
generator if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on
during engine startup.

If the engine starts but does not continue to run make
certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface. This
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the
engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical
threshold.

Battery

When the battery switch is in the "ON" position, the switch
will light up if the battery is sending out a charge. If the
switch does not light up while in the "ON" position, check
that the battery connection is still good.
The supplied 12V battery does re-charge while the engine
is running and the battery switch is turned ON, but it is also
recommended that the battery be fully charged at least once
per month or maintained with a trickle charger or battery
maintainer (not included).

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 (if applicable) Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
