Propane Natural Gas
, or
l Start the flow of your desired fuel and stop the flow from
other fuel sources.
• For gasoline, open the fuel valve and turn off the flow
of natural or propane gas.
• For propane, open the cylinder valve on the LP gas
cylinder and turn off the flow of natural gas and gas-
oline.
• For natural gas, open the valve on the natural gas
supply line and turn off the flow of propane gas and
gasoline.

l Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until you
feel increased resistance. At this point, pull the recoil
handle rapidly away from the generator until the engine
starts.
NOTE: Gently return the recoil handle into place after
starting the unit. Do not let it snap back against the unit.
During initial starting, additional pulls may be required
to prime the fuel pump.

start position.
To start the generator using the remote start feature:
l Push and hold the start button on the key fob for two
seconds.
NOTE: The red LED on the key fob should blink each
time the start button is pressed. If the red LED does not
blink and the generator does not start, then the battery
in the fob may need to be replaced. If the red LED does
blink but the generator does not start, the generator's
battery may need to charge. Start the unit using the
recoil handle. The generator's battery will charge as the
,
unit runs.
