Starting The Generator - Work Men WMG3000I Mode D'emploi

4. STARTING THE GENERATOR

Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the
steps in the "Preparing the Generator for Use" section of this manual.
CAUTION: Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before
attempting to start.
To start your generator, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure no electrical devices are connected to the generator. Such devices can
make it difficult for the engine to start.
2. Check that the generator is properly grounded (see section "Ground the
Generator").
3. Turn the fuel valve to the "on" position (see figure 8).
4. Move the choke rod to the "closed" position (see figure 9).
5. Set the engine switch to the "on" position.
6. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt (see figure
10). Then pull quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently into the machine.
Never allow the cord to snap back.
7. If engine fails to start, adjust the position of the choke rod and repeat step 6.
NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, please consult the
troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist please
contact the dealer.
8. Once the engine has started and run for about a minute, move the choke rod
about half way towards the "open" position. Wait another 30 seconds and then
move the choke rod all the way to the "open" position.
9. Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempting to connect any
electrical devices.
