e) Put the engine switch in the “ON”
position.
f) Put the choke lever in the position
(CHOKE).
This is not necessary if the engine is still
warm.
g) Pull the pull cord slowly until you feel
resistance. This is the “compression
point”. Allow the lever to return to the
starting position and now pull quickly.
While doing so, hold the generator firmly
in position using the lever to prevent it
from falling over while pulling the pull
cord. Do not pull the cord out entirely.
After starting, allow the pull cord to
return to its starting position while holding the
lever. Repeat as necessary if the engine does
not start with the first pull.
Caution: The pull cord may be pulled back very quickly and with force before
you have released it. This may pull your hand with force in the direction of the
generator, possibly injuring your hand.
Do not allow the lever to snap back. Ensure the lever rolls up slowly.
h) Allow the engine to warm up.
i) Return the choke lever to the operating position
(RUN).
j) Give the generator a few minutes to warm up
properly without a load.
