START 15A BREAKER

♦ 2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start­
ed in more than two weeks), you must press this
switch for approximately five seconds to bring fuel
from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type
switch springs back into its original position when

you release it.

♦ 2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the
START position. Release the switch when the engine
starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold
the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts
off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

♦ 2.1.3 FUSE

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit

against electrical overload. If the fuse element has
melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be
cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an
identical replacement.

♦ 2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output

circuit against overload and provides a method of
turning OFF the generator’s 115/230-volt AC output
to the vehicle circuits. This generator has two 30-amp
circuit breakers.

NOTE:

If this generator has been reconnected for dual
voltage AC output (115/230 volts), you can install
line breakers having an amperage rating that is
different than that stated in Section 1.4 (Page 5).

The replacement line breakers consist of two sep­
arate breakers with a connecting piece between

the breaker handles (so that both breakers will
operate at the same time).

AUTOIVlATiC CHOKE

This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that
consists of two main components: a choke solenoid
and prechoke.

♦ 2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID________________________

During

engine

cranking

(Start/Stop

switch

at

START),

a

solid-state

choke

module

signals

the

choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke
off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus
opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only

when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts,
the choke stops cycling,
