Instruction Manual for Portable Generator 15
5. Slide engine choke (C) to Full Choke position (left).
6. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until increased
resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.
7. When engine starts, move choke knob to 1/2-choke position
until engine runs smoothly, then fully into Run position. If
engine falters, move choke back to 1/2-choke position until
engine runs smoothly, then to Run position.
8. If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke
lever to Full Choke and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: 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 Genera-
tor” carefully.
Starting Electric Start Engines
Equipment and property damage. Dis-
connect electrical loads prior to start-
ing or stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in
equipment and property damage.
1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before
starting the engine.
2. Place generator on a level surface.
3. Open the fuel shut-off valve.
4. Move engine choke knob outward to Full Choke.
5. Press and hold Start/Run/Stop switch in the Start position.
When engine starts, release the switch to the Run position.
6. When engine starts, move choke knob to 1/2 choke position
until engine runs smoothly, then fully to RUN position. If
engine falters, move choke knob back to 1/2 choke position
until engine runs smoothly, then move to Run position.
Manual Start
The generator is equipped with a manual recoil starter
which may be used if the battery is discharged. See
Starting Pull Start Engines .
The switch must be in the Run position.
Use one of the generator’s receptacle
outlets along with the included battery charger to charge
the battery while the generator is running.
To start manually:
1. Firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until
increased resistance is felt.
2. Pull rapidly up and away to start engine.
3. Follow the same choke sequence.
If engine fires, but does not continue to
run, move choke lever to Full Choke and
repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload generator or individual
panel receptacles. These outlets are overload protected
with push-to-reset circuit breakers. If amperage rating of
any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read
Know
Generator Limits
carefully.
Generator Shut Down
Equipment and property damage. Dis-
connect electrical loads prior to start-
ing or stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in
equipment and property damage.
1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move Run/Stop switch to Stop.
4. Close fuel valve.
Under normal conditions, close fuel
valve and allow generator to run carbure-
tor bowl out of fuel. For emergencies, switch to Stop.
