utes to stabilize internal temperatures of
engine and generator.

Starting Hot Engines
1. See Figure 3-2. Turn OFF/ON/CHOKE Dial
from STOP to ON. This will open the fuel
valve and permit starting.
2. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rap-
idly up and away.
Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor that shuts down the engine automati-
cally when the oil level drops below a speci-
fied level to prevent engine damage. See
Figure 3-3 (B). The engine will not run until the
oil has been filled to the proper level.
If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient
fuel, check engine oil level.
Parallel Operation
See the Parallel Kit Operator’s Manual or con-
tact an IASD.
NOTE: All connections to the parallel kit
should be made while both inverters are
turned off and all loads disconnected.
1. Make sure the Engine Economy Switch is
in the same position on both generators.
2. Make appropriate parallel connections to
the outlets on each Generac inverter as
outlined in the owner’s manual supplied
with the kit.
NOTE: Do not disconnect any parallel kit con-
nections once the units are running.
