Grounding the Generator (See fig 7)
The portable generator is equipped with a terminal for the connection of a ground electrode conductor
where a grounding electrode system is required by NEC Article 250.34(A). The equipment grounding
conductor terminals of the generator receptacles are bonded to the generator frame. Where the
generator supplies power to cord and plug connected equipment, like power tools, the frame of the
generator is not required by the NEC to be connected to an earthen ground electrode. The generator
neutral conductor is bonded to the generator frame in accordance with NEC Article 250.34(C)
How to Start Engine (See fig 8-12)
Fig 11 Recoil Start
• Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.
• Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position. (See fig 9)
• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 10) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
• Push the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until resistance is felt, return, then pull
rapidly. (See fig 11)
• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”
position until the choke is fully at the “RUN” position. (See fig 12)
• Connect the propane hose to the intake nozzle of regulator; Open the valve on the LPG tank (See fig 8)
• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 10)
• Push the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until resistance is felt, return, then pull
rapidly. (See fig 11)
• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”
position until the choke is fully at the “RUN” position. (See fig 12)

CAUTION! Failure to follow this process may cause rough operation which could lead to engine damage
CAUTION
It is very important to SHUT OFF the fuel supply and wait for the generator to stop running before switching fuel source.
Gasoline to Propane:
1. With the generator running, turn the gasoline supply valve 90 degrees to shut off flow; then wait (up to 2 minutes) for
the machine to stop on its own.
2. With the generator and gasoline supply now OFF and propane hose properly connected, open the propane supply by
turning the supply valve fully left, wait 30 seconds, then start the generator.
Propane to Gasoline:
1. With the generator running, turn the propane supply valve fully right to shut off flow; then wait (up to 30 seconds) for
the machine to stop on its own.
2. With the generator and propane supply now OFF, turn gasoline supply valve 90 degrees, (straight up and down) wait
2 minutes, then start the generator.
