ELECTRIC START

display for
™
This generator model is provided with both electric start and
recoil start capabilities. Avoid prolonged cranking, as it can
damage the engine.
The battery provided is a nominal 12 volt sealed recharge-
able lead-acid battery and can be operated in any position
without leakage. It complies with non-spillable battery
regulations. Its convenient size offers a 30% reduction over
conventional batteries.
NOTE: New generators are shipped with the battery con-
nections disconnected. The positive and negative terminals
must be connected to the battery before the Electric Start
feature will work.
For initial battery connection, see Connecting Battery.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures 21 - 22.

return it gently to its original place.
 Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then push the
choke in to the RUN position.
