Starting the engine
WARNING. Before starting the motor, ensure you have
filled the crank case to the correct level with oil.
Note. The crank case is not filled with oil from the factory.
1. Before starting, ensure that no electrical apparatus has
been connected to the generator.
2. Turn the fuel valve clockwise to the ‘on’ position.
3. Move the choke lever (12) towards the front of the generator.
This is not necessary if the engine is already warm.
4. Turn the engine switch (8) to ‘on’.
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter (10) until you feel it engage
and then pull it briskly.
Note. When the motor is started for the very first time, it
will require a number of attempts to start until the fuel has
travelled from the tank to the motor.
6. Once you hear the motor operating, push the choke lever
(12) slowly, back towards the rear of the generator. This
position will switch the choke ‘off’.

socket (6).
CAUTION.
• Ensure the electric apparatus is turned off before
