NOTE: This manual covers generator models that feature both electric and manual start.
Refer to the CONTROL PANELS section of this manual to determine if your model is electric
or manual start, then follow the sequence below that is relevant to your model.
Rapid retraction (also known as kickback) of the engine recoil starter cord will pull your
hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go of the handle resulting in
sprains, broken bones, lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. Kickback is caused
by damage to the engine crankshaft key, compression release failure, and/or improper
starting techniques. To avoid kickback follow the appropriate maintenance schedule,
starting instructions, and have repair work done by an authorized service center.
