5. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rap-
idly up and away.
6. When engine starts, rotate OFF/RUN/
COLD START dial to RUN. COLD START
operation is reduced as OFF/RUN/COLD

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not overload the
generator. Also, do not overload individual
panel receptacles. These outlets are pro-
tected 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 Know Generator
Limits carefully.
Generator Shut Down
1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical
loads from generator panel receptacles.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several min-
utes to stabilize internal temperatures of
engine and generator.
3. Rotate OFF/Run/COLD START dial to
OFF.
4. Close fuel valve.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, close fuel
valve and allow generator to run carburetor
bowl out of fuel. For emergencies, switch to
OFF.
Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor to shut down the engine automatically
when the oil level drops below a specified
level. The engine will not run until the oil has
been filled to the proper level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Verify proper engine oil
and fuel levels before use.
