OPERA TION
iGen4500s Wireless Remote
Starting
NOTE: The supplied remote control fob has
already been paired with the generator
and is ready for use. If it does not function
properly or needs to be replaced or
reprogrammed, see Pairing the Remote
Control Fob and Generator. The generator
can only be paired to work with one
remote control fob at any given time.
NOTE: Subject to the remote control's battery
condition and environmental factors such
as interference, it can start the generator
at a range of up to approximately 50
metres and stop the generator at up to
half this distance.
1. Turn the fuel control switch clockwise to the ON
position (see Figure 18).
2. Push the engine control switch to the central
AUTO RUN position (see Figure 19).
3. Point the remote control fob in the direction of
the generator and momentarily press the remote
control's ON button for at least one second
and then release it (see Figure 20). The electric
starter motor will automatically engage and start
the engine, which will continue running whilst
the engine control switch is in the AUTO RUN
position (see Figure 19).
NOTE: If the engine fails to start on the first
attempt, it will automatically retry a
second time without any operator
intervention. If the engine fails to start
after both attempts, push the engine
control switch to the STOP position and
then refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
instructions.
4. Connect electrical cords or devices into the
240-Volt AC, 12-Volt DC accessory or 5-Volt
DC USB outlets, or switch them on if already
connected, as required.
NOTE: When the generator is left in the standby
condition with its engine control switch
in the AUTO RUN position, but the engine
not running, there is a small power drain
on the battery that will cause it to slowly
discharge. Depending on the battery's
condition and the ambient temperature, it
can remain in this standby condition for up
to five days and still have sufficient charge
to start the generator upon command from
the remote control.

iGen4500s Pairing the Remote
Control Fob and Generator
If the remote control fob needs to be replaced or
reprogrammed, you can pair it to communicate with
the generator by following this procedure.
1. Check that the generator is switched off and its
engine is not running.
2. Bring the remote control close to the generator's
control panel.
3. Push and hold the generator's engine control
switch in the START position and simultaneously
push and hold the remote control's OFF button;
the remote control's red indicator light should be
illuminated at first, and then shortly after when
it extinguishes release both the engine control
switch and the OFF button.
4. The remote control fob and generator are now
paired and ready for use together.
ECO THROTTLE CONTROL
The generator is equipped with ECO Throttle Control
to minimise fuel consumption. In ECO mode, the
generator senses the electrical load demand and
adjusts the engine speed and power output to
match it; if there is no electrical load connected,
the engine speed drops down to idle. ECO mode
should only be used once the generator has reached
normal operating temperature after running for at
least five minutes. When starting large inductive
loads such as an air conditioner or pump, ECO
mode should be switched off so that the engine
speed will be kept higher for maximum electrical
starting power availability.
To activate ECO mode, move the ECO throttle
switch to the ON position (see Figure 21).
