NOTE:
If the engine fails to start after 5 seconds,
release the engine control
switch. Let the
generator
sit idle for 15 seconds
and then
repeat step 5. If the cranking
speed drops
after each unsuccessful
attempt, then the
battery
may not be adequately
charged.
Manually start the generator
as instructed
in Manuah'y Starting a Generator
on page
24.
NOTE:
The electric start generator
is equipped
with a battery charging
feature. Once
the engine is running, a small charge is
supplied
to the battery via the battery
cables and will slowly
recharge the battery.

As the engine starts and stabilizes, gradually move
the choke lever back to the OFF position.
