generator. Never start or stop the generator
with electrical devices plugged in or turned

7. Move the choke lever to the "START" position.
8. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly.
9. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts
and warms up, move the choke lever to the
"RUN" position.
10. Allow generator to run at no load for few
minutes upon each initial start-up to permit
engine and generator to stablize.
WARNING
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
Keep choke lever in "START" position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move
choke lever to the "RUN" position for up to the
next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much
choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This
will cause the engine not to start.
