ventilated area.
2. Check oil levels.
3. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
4. Confirm battery is connected.
5. Confirm voltage switch is correct voltage for what
you are going to power. DO NOT SWITCH THE
VOLTAGE WHILE THE GENERATOR IS RUNNING.

9. Push and hold the push button start for 1 second,
then release. If using remote start then hold down
START on the remote key fob until the generator
starts, then release.
The engine will automatically set the choke and begin
the start sequence.
• If the engine has started successfully the light
indicator on the engine start button will turn green.
• If the engine fails to start, the generator controls
will attempt to start the engine two more times for
a total of three attempts.
• If the third attempt fails, the light on the engine
start button will turn red.
• If the engine has failed to start after three attempts
the push button start can be pushed again to begin
the automatic start sequence.
• The engine control switch can be switched at any
time during the automatic start sequence to abort
the engine start attempt.
To prevent unintentional starting with remote
key fob the engine switch must be OFF if
the generator is inside or is outside and not
intended to be used for remote start.
NOTE: If the cranking speed drops after each
unsuccessful attempt, then the battery may not
be adequately charged. You can alternatively start
the generator using the recoil start as instructed in
Manually Starting a Generator.
