Operation
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal and California
emission requirements. See the table below to determine the com-
pliance period for this generator. The displacement of the engine is
listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.
Displacement
> 66 cc - < 225 cc
≥ 225 cc
1.9 EXHAUST EMISSIONS
INFORMATION (PROPANE)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air
Resource Board (CARB) require that this generator comply with
exhaust emission standards. The generator is certified to meet all
applicable exhaust emission levels. This generator is certified for
use as a mobile engine. It is important that you follow the mainte-
nance specifications listed in this manual to ensure that the engine
complies with emission standards for the duration of its life. This
engine is certified to operate on propane fuel (LP). The emission
control system on the generator consists of the following:
• Fuel Metering System
~ Mixer assembly
~ Fuel regulator and lines
• Air Induction System
~ Intake pipe / manifold
~ Air cleaner
• Ignition System
~ Spark plug
~ Ignition module
• Catalytic Converter (if equipped)

GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator control panel
(Figure 2.1):
2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER
Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been started in more
than two weeks), press this switch for approximately ten seconds
to bring fuel from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type switch
springs back into its original position when it is released.
2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START posi-
tion. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operat-
ing engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the
engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.
2.1.3 7.5 AMP FUSE
The fuse protects the engine's DC control circuit against electrical
overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading,
the engine cannot be cranked. If the fuse must be replaced, use
only an identical 7.5 amp replacement fuse.
