ally push choke control to the OFF position.

 

 

While engine is running, a small “trickle” charge is applied 
to starting battery.This keeps an adequate battery charge.

Before starting generator, be sure to thoroughly read 
all information provided in this Owner’s Manual.

It is very important to maintain proper level of engine oil to 
keep engine in good running condition.

• Check engine oil level prior to each use.

Starting generator with appliances connected can cause 
permanent damage to appliances.

• NEVER start generator with electrical appliances 

plugged in and turned on.

If engine will not start, move the choke to the OFF posi-
tion to reduce fuel to the engine.

• Holding engine control switch for more than 5 seconds 

can damage starter motor. If engine fails to start after 5 
seconds, release engine control switch and wait 10 
seconds before attempting to start engine again.

• If you notice engine cranking speed drop after a period 

of time, it may be an indication the battery should be 
recharged.
