STARTING THE ENGINE
ATTENTION!
Before starting the engine, do not connect any electric equipment.
Step 1: Turn on the gasoline valve lever(Fuel lever).
Principle:
The gasoline on/off valve allows gasoline to flow through
the valve when in the "ON" position. When the valve is
in the "OFF" position the flow of gasoline is shut off.
Turn the valve lever to the "ON" position (see Figure 6)
and wait one minute for the gasoline to enter the carb-
uretor completely (when using the generator for the first
time). Then, carry out the following steps.
Step 2:Turn on the engine's ON/OFF switch.
Principle:
The switch has two positions. The "I" position is "on" or
in electrical terminology "closed". The switch in the "I"
position allows current to flow through the switch. The
"O" position is "open" or "of f".The switch in this position
disconnects, or "opens" the circuit and doesn't allow
current to flow through the switch.
Press "I" of the ON/OFF switch. (see Figure 7)
Step 3: Adjust the choke valve
Principle:
Close the choke valve (see Figure 8) to increase the concentration of gasoline to air
in the carburetor. The generator is easier to start with a higher concentration of fuel
to air. Once the engine is running, open the choke valve, this allows the air/fuel ratio
to return to normal operating levels.

To cold-start the machine, first switch the choke valve to the position ON .
(see Figure 8).
NOTE!
To hot-start (the machine has been running) the choke valve shall be turned to the
position OFF (see Figure 9).

Step 4:Start the engine.
Principle:
The product has a hand-pull starter. The force applied when pulling the cord will dir-
ectly influence the engines initial rotational time and speed. A proper technique when
pulling,using the right distance and force, will ensure consistent start-ups.
Pull three times slowly on the cord to allow mixed
air to enter into engine cylinder. Then slowly pull
on the recoil starter handle, shown in Figure 10, until
a slight resistance is felt.Then pull briskly to start
the engine. Gently return the cord into the gener-
ator to avoid damage to the starter or housing.
Never allow the cord to snap back. In general,

startup should succeed with less than 3 brisk pulls.
ATTENTION!
Always return the grip slowly.
Step 5:Observe the following procedure following successful startup of the generator.
a. Turn choke valve to the open position (see Figure 9) once the engine has run for
more than 20 seconds (more than 30 seconds in colder weather).
b. Check that the engine is running smoothly for 1-2 minutes before turning on the
power supply.
