STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
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 gen-
erator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for the engine
to start.
STARTING THE GENERATOR (LPG)
1. Connect the LPG regulator hose to the tank and inlet on the
control panel.
2. Turn the LPG tank valve ON.
1. Turn the ECO-MODE switch (Fig. 14) to "OFF" during starting.
2. Turn the 3-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 15) to the "CHOKE" position.
4. Pull the recoil starter 1 - 3 times to prime the engine.
5. Turn the 3-in-1 switch to the "RUN" position.
6. 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 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.
7. After the engine has started, the output indicator light (green)
will light up.
8. 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.
