operation

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the portable generator. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the generators in the field.

Before Starting the Engine

1.Be sure to disconnect all electrical loads from the generators prior to starting the engine.

2.NEVER start the engine with the main circuit breaker in the ON position. Always place this circuit breaker (Figure 9) in the OFF position before starting.

3.Place the choke lever (Figure 11) in the OPEN position if starting a warm engine or the temperature is warm.

4.Place the generator's operation switch (Figure 12) in the ON position.

Figure 12. Operation Switch (ON)

5.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 13) 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.

Starting the Engine

1.Place the engine fuel valve lever (Figure 10) to the ON position.

Figure 10. Engine Fuel Valve Lever (ON)

2.Place the choke lever (Figure 11) in the CLOSED position if starting a cold engine.

6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 11) to the OPEN position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 5.

NOTICE

DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end.

DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible..
