Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that all
instructions given in previous sections have been followed
completely.
•
Check oil and fuel levels.
•
Turn the fuel shut-off valve on.
•
Move the choke lever on the front of the engine on. Note:
the choke may not be required when the engine is warm
or in high ambient temperatures.
RECOIL START

Move engine On/Off switch to On position.
•
Slowly pull recoil cord until resistance is felt and then pull
firmly. Let the recoil rewind slowly to avoid damage.
•
Return the choke to the original position.
CAUTION: This generator is equipped with an oil protection
system. When oil levels are too low for safe operation the
engine will shut down and/or will not start until the oil level is
corrected.

Once started, allow the engine to stabilize for approximately 3
minutes. Check that the circuit breakers and the GFCI
receptacles are not tripped.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET
Unplug all appliances and let the engine run unloaded for a
couple of minutes. Turn the engine On/Off switch to the Off
position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the Off position.
CAUTION: Never use the choke to stop the engine.
