is in the OFF position, or more time

Turn the engine switch to the
START position, and hold it there
until the engine starts. When the
engine starts, release the key,
allowing the switch to return to the
ON position.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait
at least 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time will overheat the
starter motor and can damage it.
Do not leave the engine switch in the ON position when the generator is not
operating as the battery will be drained. Turn the engine switch to the OFF
position when not in use.
