2.8 STARTING ELECTRIC START ENGINES



Never start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged into the receptacles AND

devices turned on.

1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before

starting the engine.

2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in

any direction).

3. Open the fuel shut-off valve (Figures 10).
4. Move engine CHOKE lever to FULL CHOKE position (Figure

12).

5. To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch

(control panel) in the “Start” position. The engine will crank

and attempt to start. When the engine starts, release the

switch to the run position.

6. When the engine starts, move choke knob to “1/2 Choke”

position until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the

“Run” position. If engine falters, move choke knob back out to

“1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs smoothly and then

to “Run” position.

2.8.1 MANUAL START

This generator is also equipped with a manual recoil starter which

may be used if the battery is discharged.

NOTE:

The switch must be in the RUN position. Use one of the

generator’s receptacle outlets along with the included battery

charger to charge the battery while the generator is running.
• To start manually, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly

until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away to
start engine. Then follow the same choke sequence.

NOTE:

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever

to FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload

individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against

overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage

rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and

electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the

Generator” carefully.

2.9 STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from

generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine

with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the

internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3. Move Run/Stop switch to OFF position.
4. Close fuel valve.

2.10 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down

the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified

level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has

enough gasoline, check engine oil level.

2.10.1 SENSING LOW OIL LEVEL

If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine

shuts down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled

to the proper level.
