CHOKE LEVER
LEFT = CHOKE
RIGHT = RUN
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  STARTING ELECTRIC START ENGINES

 Never start or stop engine with electrical 
devices plugged into the receptacles AND 
devices turned on.
Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before 
• 
starting the engine.
Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• 
Open the fuel shut-off valve (Figure 9).
• 
Move engine CHOKE knob outward to FULL CHOKE position 
• 
(Figure 10).
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.
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.
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.
2.10 STOPPING THE ENGINE
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.
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the 
• 
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
Move Run/Stop switch to 
• OFF 
position.
Close fuel valve.
• 
2.11 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.
2.11.1 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.
3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required 
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level 
At Each Use
Change Oil ‡ 
*Every 100 hours or Every Season
Check Valve Clearance 
***Every Season
Service Air Filter 
** Every 200 hours or Every Season
Replace Spark Plug 
Every Season
‡  Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
*  Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high 
temperatures.
** Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions.  Replace air filter 
parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.
