To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in the
“Start” position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When
the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.
When the engine starts, move choke knob to “1/2 Choke” position
until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the “Run” position.
If engine falters, move choke knob back out to “1/2 Choke” position
until the engine runs smoothly and then to “Run” position.
NOTE:
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to
“Full Choke” and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating
of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator”
carefully.
2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE
Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
Turn “Off” the Idle Control switch (if on).
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
Move Start/Run/Stop switch to “Off” position.
Close fuel valve.
