OPERATION
To start the generator using the recoil handle:
l Verify that the engine control switch is in the RUN (I)
position.
NOTE: The engine control switch will automatically
return to the RUN (I) position if it is not held in the
START (II) or STOP (O) position.
l Move the choke to the off/cold start position.
NOTE: If you are re-starting the generator, move the
choke to the on/warm start position.
l Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until you
feel increased resistance. At this point, pull the recoil
handle rapidly away from the generator until the engine
starts.
NOTE: Gently return the recoil handle into place after
starting the unit. Do not let it snap back against the unit.
During initial starting, additional pulls may be required
to prime the fuel pump.
l After the engine starts, move the choke to the on/warm
start position.
To start the generator using the engine control switch:
l Move the choke to the on/warm start position.
l Push and hold the engine control switch in the START
(II) position for two seconds.
NOTE: If the engine control switch does not start the
generator, the generator's battery may need to charge.
Start the unit using the recoil handle. The generator's
battery will charge as the unit runs.
NOTE: The engine control switch will automatically
return to the RUN (I) position if it is not held in the
START (II) or STOP (O) position.
To add loads after starting the generator:
l When the generator output stabilizes, you can safely
connect loads to the control panel receptacles.
NOTE: Verify that all devices are turned off before
connecting them to the generator.
NOTE: Make sure that the wattage requirements for
all connected devices are in line with your generator's
capabilities.
l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable,
the engine should run smoothly, and the device should
function properly.
l Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize.
l Repeat this process for each additional load.
