Step 3: Generator Start Up
Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.
NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may
cause the unit to shut down.
2. Turn starting dial to the cold start position.
NOTICE For a warm engine, turn starting dial to the run
position.
3. Grasp recoil and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt.
Then pull rapidly to start engine.
4. Slowly turn starting dial to run position. If engine
falters, turn starting dial halfway between cold start
and run position until engine runs smoothly, and then
to run position.
NOTICE If engine starts but fails to run, see Low Oil Indicator.

5. Extension cords running directly into home, powering
indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
DANGER! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that will kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Extension cords running directly into the home
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
through openings.
• If an extension cord running directly into the home is
used to power indoor items, the operator recognizes
that this increases the risk of CO poisoning to people
inside the home and assumes that risk.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE For generator output required see Generator
Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn
