STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
STARTING THE GENERATOR (LPG)
1. Place the generator outside on a dry, level surface. Allow at least two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator.
2. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (refer to “ADD / CHECK OIL” on page
12).
3. Make sure that the LPG regulator hose is properly connected to the LPG tank and the inlet on the generator (refer
to “FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)” on page 15).
4. To maximize safety, make sure the generator is properly grounded (refer to “GROUND THE GENERATOR” on page
16).
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for
the engine to start.
6. Turn the ECO-MODE switch to “OFF” during starting (Fig. 9 - 1).
7. Turn the 4-in-1 switch (Fig. 10 - 1) to the “CHOKE” position.
8. Gently pull the recoil starter handle (Fig. 12 - 1) 3 - 5 times to prime the engine.
9. Slowly turn the 4-in-1 switch (Fig. 10 - 1) to the “RUN” position.
Option A: Electric Start
10. Press the START button (Fig. 11 - 1) and hold for 2-3 sec-
onds until the engine starts, then release.
NOTE: The battery is shipped partially charged, in order to maxi-
mize 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.
10. Pull the recoil starter handle (Fig. 12 - 1) quickly to start the
engine. Return the cord gently into the machine. Never allow the
cord to snap back.
NOTE: If engine fails to start, repeat step 7.
11. 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.
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.
