Generally to start any engine.you begin with (for gasoline engines) 1 put the appropriate fuel in the tank 2 open the fuel valve 3 activate a partial 'choke' 4 pull the recoil rope 5 let it run for a minute to warm up 6 move choke to off position(zero choke) 7 plug in your power cords as needed. If your unit is diesel or propane, the procedure is the same , with alteration for the choke, and possible 'glow-plug' heat for the diesel. If you have an electric start unitat #4 above, activate the start switch. Best way, is to locate that USER MANUAL.and review. PSan aid that never fails in assisiting a hard to fire engine, is to open the spark-plug and squirt a little bit of starting fluid into the plug-hole, replace the plug and retrythis can be done via the air-filter also.
