USING THE REMOTE-START FUNCTION
Your generator comes with a remote-start function, enabling you to (what
else?) start your generator remotely.
Your generator and the included remote have been paired at the factory,
and you can use the remote immediately.
NOTE: in order for the remote start function to work properly, you must
be within 164 ft (50 m) of the generator. The remote's effective range may
vary depending on the batteries' state of charge, as well as miscellaneous
environmental factors, radio interference, etc.
STARTING THE GENERATOR (REMOTE START)
1. Insert the engine switch key and turn the engine switch on the control
panel (Fig. 13 - 1) to ON. Ensure that the battery is connected.
2. Ensure that all electrical devices are disconnected from the generator.
3. Press the REMOTE POWER button (Fig. 13 - 3) on the control panel.
4. Press START button (Fig. 14 – 1) on remote control once. DO NOT hold
button down. The generator will automatically adjust the choke and start.
5. Generator will automatically delay providing power to panel for about
15 seconds. For more about this feature, see "Panel Protection" below.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR (REMOTE START)
1. Turn OFF and disconnect electrical devices.
2. Press the STOP button (Fig. 14 – 2) on the remote control once. DO NOT hold the button down. The generator
will immediately cut off power to the panel, then shut down the engine about 5 seconds later. For more about this
feature, see "Panel Protection" below.
NOTE: during remote start and remote start, you may see the data meter display flicker slightly. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
NOTE: If you purchase a new remote, you will need to pair the new remote with the generator. Follow instructions
below. When replacing batteries in a remote, you should not need to pair the generator and remote again, but if you
find that it does not work with new batteries, follow the instructions below to pair the generator and remote again.
PAIRING THE REMOTE AND GENERATOR
1. Insert the engine switch key and turn the engine switch on the control panel (Fig. 13 - 1) to ON.
2. Press the REMOTE POWER button (Fig. 13 - 3) on the control panel.
3. Press and hold REMOTE PAIRING button (Fig. 13 - 2) on control panel until PAIRING LIGHT (Fig. 13 – 4) turns on.
4. Press the START button (Fig. 14 – 1) on the remote control once. The PAIRING LIGHT will turn off, then back on.
5. Press and hold REMOTE PAIRING button on control panel until PAIRING LIGHT turns off (about 2 seconds). The
generator and remote are now paired.
