BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that generator is outside on a dry, level surface with at least two feet of clearance on all sides.
2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see "Ground the Generator").
3. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (see "Add / check Oil").
4. If using gasoline, make sure there is enough gasoline in fuel tank. Add fuel if necessary (see "Add / check Fuel").
If using LPG, make sure there is enough propane in tank, and that tank and regulator hose are properly connected.
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for
the engine to start.
STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
STARTING THE GENERATOR (GASOLINE)
1. Turn the ECO-MODE (Fig. 11) switch to "OFF" during starting.
2. Turn the 3-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 12) to the "CHOKE" position.
NOTE: If starting the generator with a warm engine, turn the dial
switch to the "RUN" position.
3. 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.
13). Then pull quickly to start the engine. Return cord gently into
the machine. Never allow the cord to snap back.
NOTE: If engine fails to start (with gas), repeat step 3; If engine
fails to start (with LPG), turn the 3-in-1 dial switch to the "RUN"
position, then pull on the recoil starter handle to get started.
NOTE: If you have repeated failed attempts to start the engine,
please consult the troubleshooting guide. If problems persist,
please call please call 1-847-429-9263 M-F 8-5 CST.
4. After the engine has started, turn 3-in-1 switch to the "RUN"
position. The output indicator light (green) will light up.
5. Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempt-
ing to connect any electrical devices. This allows the generator to
stabilize its speed and temperature.
