STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
STARTING THE GENERATOR (LPG)
1. Turn the ECO-MODE (Fig. 19) switch to “OFF” during starting.
2. Turn the 2-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 20) to the "CHOKE" position.
3. Push the engine switch (Fig. 19) to the ON (I) position.
4. Prime the engine.
To do this, do one of the following:
a. Manual start: pull the recoil starter 1 – 3 times.
b. Electric: push the engine switch to the START (II) position for
about 1 second, 1 – 3 times.
5. Turn the 2-in-1 switch to RUN.
NOTE: If you have repeated failed attempts to start the engine, please consult the troubleshooting guide (page 40).
If problems persist, please call please call 1-(800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST.
7. After the engine has started, the output indicator light (green) will light up.
8. Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempting to connect any electrical devices.
This allows the generator to stabilize its speed and temperature.

Option A: Electric Start
6. Push engine switch to START (II) position for 2-3 seconds,
or until the engine starts. Then release the switch (Fig. 19).
NOTE: If the engine does not start, release the switch and try
again. Keeping the switch in the START position too long can
damage the starter.
NOTE: The lithium-ion battery is shipped partially charged, in
order to maximize its service life, and may not have enough
charge to start the engine during the first use of the generator.
If you have trouble starting the generator the first time using
electric start, use the pull start option and allow the generator
to run for a few hours to charge the battery.
Option B: Pull Start
6. Push the engine switch to the ON (I) position. Place one
hand on the generator to hold it in place, and pull on the recoil
starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt (Fig. 21).
Then pull quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently into
the machine. Never allow the cord to snap back.
