Generator Basics: How to Start and Maintain Your Generator
Our generators are simple to use and easy to maintain. As a rule of thumb, you should follow these steps when starting up your generator:
- Check the engine oil and fuel, refilling as necessary.
- Put the circuit breaker in the "off" position.
- Open the fuel valve and put the choke in the "start" position.
- Switch to "on" and turn the "start" key.
- Pull the recoil starter (if appropriate) till the engine runs & place the choke in "run".
- Connect your appliances!
Maintenance is straightforward. It's wise to keep the generator "wiped clean" when not in use. Additionally, always check the fuel levels and keep an eye on the spark plug. Ensure it is clean and not blackened with carbon.
