Move engine CHOKE knob outward to “Full Choke” position 

(Figure 17).

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

“Start” position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When 
the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.

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.

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.

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.

Turn “Off” the Idle Control switch (if on).
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the 

internal temperatures of engine and generator.

Move Start/Run/Stop switch to “Off” position.
Close fuel valve.
