6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 12) 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
8.Place idle control switch (Figure 15) in the OFF (down) position.This will allow the engine speed to run at about 3600 RPM's.

NOTICE
Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position (Figure 15) allows the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's.
When the idle control switch (Figure 16) 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.
