OPERATION
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.

STARTING THE ENGINE: GASOLINE

During Push-Button or Remote Start the engine will
automatically set the choke and begin the start sequence.
If the engine fails to start, the generator will attempt to
start the engine two more times. The battery switch can be
turned off at any time during the automatic start sequence
to abort the engine start attempt.
If the cranking speed drops after each unsuccessful
attempt, then the battery may not be adequately charged.

generator while the generator is in operation.
The fuel source can be switched while the engine is
running if a propane tank is connected to the generator
BEFORE operation.

may cause the engine to stop. If the engine stops
when switching fuel sources, disconnect all loads
then restart the unit on the fuel source of choice.
