The engine switch must be in the ON 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 listed
above.
• When the engine starts, slide choke knob to "1/2 Choke"
position until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the
"Run" position. If engine falters, slide choke knob back out to
"1/2 Choke" position until the engine runs smoothly and then
to "Run" position.
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, pull choke knob to
"Full Choke" and repeat starting instructions.
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
1. 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.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move Run/Stop switch to "Off" position.
4. Close fuel valve.
2.11 LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts
down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below
5 psi. A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the engine to
run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure. If the engine
shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.
2.11.1 RESTARTING
If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after a low oil
pressure shut down, the engine may NOT start. The system needs
5 to 10 seconds to reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressure has not been corrected (i.e. adding oil), the engine will
run for about 10 seconds as described above and then stop.

NOTE:
3.1 PERFORMING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
It is important to perform service as specified in the Maintenance
Schedule for proper generator operation, and to ensure that the
generator complies with the applicable emission standards for the
duration of its useful life. Service and repairs may be performed by
any capable person or repair shop. Additionally, emissions critical
maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the
Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance
with the Maintenance Schedule.
3.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level
Change Oil and Oil Filter‡
Clean Spark Arrestor Screen
Service Air Filter
Replace Spark Plug
‡ 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 very dirty.
