Starting the Inverter
CAUTION
If the ignition switch is held down in the "Start"
position longer than 5 seconds it could damage the
starter.
NOTE
The supplied 12V 7AH battery does re-charge while
the engine is running, but it is also recommended
that the battery be fully charged at least once per
month.
NOTE
When the battery switch is in the "ON" position,
the switch will light up if the battery is sending
out a charge. If the switch does not light up while
in the "ON" position, check that the battery
connection is still good.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run
make certain that the generator is on a flat, level
surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
Petrol
NOTE
The generator will NOT START with petrol without
battery charge or an appropriate connection.
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the fuel selector switch to the "Horizontal"
position.
4. Pull the choke out to the "CHOKE" position.
5. Push the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
6. Push the battery switch to the "ON" position.
7. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition
switch to the "START" position. Release as the
engine begins to start. If the engine fails to start
within five seconds, release the switch and wait at
least ten seconds before attempting to start the
engine again.
8. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
9. Do not over-choke. Allow the engine to warm up
several seconds before gradually pushing the choke
to the "RUN" position..
NOTE
Keep choke in "Choke" position for only 1 pull
of the recoil starter. After first pull, push choke
in for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
Too much choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
