OPERATION
DATA CENTER
See Figure 11.
Push the mode button to cycle through the data display
modes.
Voltage: Displays current voltage output.
Frequency (Hz): Displays power output frequency in Hertz.
Lifetime Hours: Displays the lifetime run hours.
Fuel Level: Indicates how much gasoline remains in the
fuel tank.
Run Time/Maintenance: Displays current run time. Resets
to zero when shut down. Maintenance reminder displayed
when required.
Maintenance Codes:
P25 – Change engine oil
P50 – Clean air filter, Change engine oil
P100 – Change engine oil, clean air filter, replace fuel filter
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in, do not exceed 50% of the rated running
watts during the first five hours of operation.
Use supplied oil until first recommend oil change. Do not
use full synthetic oil during break in period. Full synthetic oil
may prevent proper breaking and seating of the piston rings.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Verify that:
l The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location.
l The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
l Oil and fuel levels are within safe operating range.
l All loads are disconnected from the control panel
receptacles.
l The ECO mode switch is in the OFF position.
DANGER
NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
See Figures 12 - 13.
l Place the generator in a safe, appropriate location.
l Unplug all loads.
l Be sure the ECO mode switch is in the OFF position.
l Check oil and fuel levels. If needed, add fuel or oil as
described earlier.
l Place the engine/fuel control switch in the on ( I )position.

l Firmly grasp and slowly pull the recoil handle until you feel
increased resistance. At this point, rapidly pull the recoil
handle 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 When the OUTPUT READY LED illuminates, you can
safely connect loads to the control panel receptacles.
NOTE: Verify that all devices are turned off before con-
necting them to the generator.
NOTE: Make sure that the wattage requirements for
all connected devices are in line with your generator's
capabilities.
l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable, the
engine should run smoothly, and the device should function
properly.
