7. Press and hold the yellow ignition switch on the EZ Start
Dial toward the center of the dial for up to 5 seconds or until
started.

If the engine is cranked longer than 5 seconds, the engine can
flood and will not start.
8. If engine does not start, wait 10 seconds and repeat step 7.
9. Plug in devices.
Warm Engine Start
4. Turn the EZ Start dial to the "RUN" position.
5. Press and hold the yellow ignition switch on the EZ Start Dial
toward the center of the dial. Release as the engine begins to
start. If the engine fails to start within five seconds, release
the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to
start the engine again. and hold ignition switch on EZ Start
Dial.
NOTICE
Accumulation of frost on LPG cylinder and regulators is
common during operation and normally is not an indication
of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the cylinder
to the generator engine it expands. The amount of frost that
forms can be affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount
of LPG being used, the humidity of the air and other operating
conditions.
In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the flow
of LPG to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance.
For example, if the cylinder temperature is reduced to a very
low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also
reduced and may not provide sufficient flow to the engine. This
is not an indication of a problem with the generator but only
a problem with the flow of LPG from the cylinder. If generator
performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that
ice formation is observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then
some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.
In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate
the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:
– Exchanging fuel cylinders to allow the first cylinder to
warm up, repeating as necessary.
– Placing the cylinder at the end of the generator near the
handle, where engine fan air flows out from the generator.
This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The
cylinder should not be placed in the path of the muffler
outlet.
– The cylinder can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm
water over the top of the cylinder.

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 (if applicable) Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
