OPERATION
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in, do not exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (6000 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
LOW IDLE
Always start the generator with the Low Idle switch
OFF. Allow the engine speed to stabilize before
switching Low Idle ON.
Frequency output of the generator is dependent on
engine speed. DO NOT use Low Idle when powering
sensitive electronics or large surge loads such as an
air conditioner, electric pump, refrigerator, or when
connected to a home transfer switch.
Low Idle minimizes fuel consumption, noise, and engine
wear by lowering the engine RPM to idle (2400 RPM) when
electrical loads have been turned off and automatically
returns to rated speed when loads are turned back on.
Turn Low Idle ON when powering intermittent, non-
electronic loads, such as power tools at a work site.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Confirm that:
• The generator is placed in an safe, appropriate location.
• The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
• The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT add gasoline to the
fuel tank while the generator is in operation.
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.

NOTICE
NOTICE
If the cranking speed drops after each unsuccessful
attempt, the battery may not be adequately charged. See
the BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. Confirm that fuel is in the gas tank.
2. Turn the fuel selector switch to gasoline operation.
3. See Figure 1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.

4. Push the battery switch to the ON position.
5. Choose the starting method:
a. Remote Start: Press and hold the START button
on the remote start key fob for one second.
b. Push-Button Start: Press and hold the engine
START/STOP button for two seconds.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
IMPORTANT: Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices connected.
2. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine.
3. Press and hold the START/STOP button for one
second or press STOP on the remote start key fob
for one second.
Note: If the generator is used infrequently, turn the fuel tank
valve to the OFF position to limit the residual fuel
remaining in the system. The engine will stop
when fuel in the carburetor and fuel line is
exhausted.
4. Press the battery switch to the OFF position.
FREQUENCY OF USE
If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), see
the Battery Maintenance and Storage sections of this
manual for information regarding battery charging and fuel
deterioration.
