STARTING THE GENERATOR
See Figures 24 - 27.
l Place the generator in a safe, appropriate location.
l Unplug all loads.
l Check oil and fuel levels. If needed add oil, refill the LP
gas cylinder, add gasoline, or contact your natural gas
utility company.
l Using the fuel selector switch, select GASOLINE
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 gasoline.
• For natural gas, open the valve on the natural gas supply
line and turn off the flow of propane gas and gasoline.
l Push the battery switch to the ON position.
NOTE: When battery power is available, the battery in-
dicator light and the green LED around the engine start/
stop button will illuminate.
To start the generator using the recoil handle:
l Move the choke to the on/cold start position.
NOTE: If the engine is warm, move the choke towards
the on/warm start position (about 2/3 of the way).
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.
l After the engine starts, move the choke to the off/warm
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.
