OPERATION

Wireless Remote and Electric Start

Wireless remote starting is only possible within 80 feet of
the generator .
Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke . The remote
system will automatically close and open the choke .
1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the "ON" position .
3 . Press the Ignition Switch to "ON" .
4 . Press the Battery Switch to "ON" .
5 . ELECTRIC START: Press the ignition switch to the
"START" position .
6 . WIRELESS REMOTE START: press and release the
"START" button on the handheld Remote Control
device . DO NOT hold the button down, only press
the button once . The engine will attempt to start 6
times .
7 . A safety feature is provided which delays the
electrical power availability during starting mode .
The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds . The
delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator
if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during
engine startup .
8 . If the generator fails to start, check the battery
condition and cable connections .

Recoil Start

1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator .
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on .
3 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the "ON" position .
4 . Press the Ignition Switch to "ON" .
5 . Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position .
6 . Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly .
7 . Do not over-choke . As as soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the "RUN" position .
NOTE
Keep choke lever in "Choke" position for only 1 pull of
the recoil starter . After first pull, move choke lever to the
"Run" position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil
starter . Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/
engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air . This will
cause the engine not to start .
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run make
certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface . The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent
the engine from running when the oil level falls below a
critical threshold .

Connecting Electrical Loads

1 . Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2 . Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads .
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator .
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator .
– DO NOT overload the generator .
NOTE
Connecting a generator to your electric utility company's
power lines or to another power source may be against
the law . In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could
damage your generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility worker
who may be working on nearby power lines . If you plan
to run a portable electric generator during an outage,
please notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly into the
generator . Do not plug the generator into any electric
outlet in your home . Doing so could create a connection
to the utility company power lines . You are responsible
for ensuring that your generator's electricity does not
feed back into the electric utility power lines .
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical
system, consult your local utility company or a qualified
electrician . Connections must isolate generator power
from utility power and must comply with all applicable
laws and codes .

Stopping the Engine

1 . Turn off and unplug all electrical loads . Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on .
2 . Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator .
3 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the "OFF" position .
4 . Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine . This usually takes a few minutes .
5 . Press the engine switch to the "OFF" position .
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Engine Switch are in the "OFF" position when the engine
is not in use .
NOTE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage .
