5.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 7) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.

Figure 7. Starter Grip

6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 5) to the OPEN position. If the engine has not started, repeat steps 1 through 5.

7.Before the generator is placed into operation, run the engine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with loose components.

Stopping the Engine

1.Place the main circuit breaker (Figure 3) in the OFF position.

2.Place the idle control switch (Figure 8) in the OFF position.

3.Let the engine run at idle with no load for 2-3 minutes.

4.To shut down the engine, place the generator ON/OFF switch (Figure 6) in the OFF position.

5.Place the engine fuel valve lever (Figure 4) to the "OFF" position.

6.Remove the load from the generator.
