If it's the Chinese copy of the Yanmar which is sold under a dozen different names. The compression release is the red tipped lever on the top of the cylinder head/rocker arm cover. Roll the engine slowly until compression starts. Tip the compression release lever. Take hold of the starter handle with one or two hands. Brace one foot against the generator frame. Get good footing on the other foot so you don't fall. DO NOT JERK THE ROPE. Just pull as hard and fast as you can with a SMOOTH heave. Make certain the tank isolation valve is turned on and system full. I looked like a dope and was sore for days after some donkey shut the tank valve off instead of the regular injection shut off. And away she goes. No need to touch the compression relief to release it. Caution don't shove the compression release while the engine is running in an attempt to see what happens or to shut it off. I've seen two with the valve train busted and the exhaust valve head taking one bounce on top of the piston.
