BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that the generator is outside on a dry, level surface. Allow at least two feet of clearance on all sides of the
generator.
2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded. Refer to "Step 3 - Ground The Generator."
3. Check that there is a sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary. Refer to "Step 1 - Add/Check Oil."
4. Check that there is a sufficient level of fuel in the fuel tank. Add gas if necessary. Refer to "Step 2 - Add/Check
Fuel."
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for
the engine to start.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Turn the fuel valve (Fig. 8 - 1) to the ON position.
2. Pull the choke button out to the CLOSE/START position
(Fig. 9).
3. Make sure the Eco-Mode switch is OFF.
4. Flip the engine switch to the ON position.
5. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight re-
sistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine. Return
cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to
snap back.
6. If engine fails to start, repeat this step.
7. Once the engine has started, slowly push the choke but-
ton into the OPEN/RUN position (Fig. 9).
8. Allow the engine to run for several minutes before at-
tempting to connect any electrical devices. This allows the
generator to stabilize its speed and temperature. Follow the
instructions in the next section for properly connecting your
electrical devices.
NOTE: In case you have had repeated failed attempts
to start the engine, please consult the troubleshooting
guide before attempting to start the generator. If prob-
lems persist please call 1-800-232-1195, M-F 8-5 CST.
