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.

the start button is pressed. If the red LED does not blink
and the generator does not start, then the battery in the
fob may need to be replaced. If the red LED does blink
but the generator does not start, 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.
