7.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 14) to the OPEN position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.

8.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 lose components.

NOTICE

Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position (Figure 18) allows the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's.

When the idle control switch (Figure 19) is placed in the up position (ON), the generator will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as a load is being applied.

When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
