STARTING THE ENGINE: PROPANE
Fire and explosion hazard. Always turn the propane
tank valve to the fully closed position if not operating the
generator on propane.
1. Be sure the LPG/propane hose is correctly connected to
the generator and propane tank.
2. Turn the fuel selector switch to propane operation.
3. Fully open the valve on the propane tank.
4. Push the battery switch to the ON position.
5. Choose the starting method:
a. Remote Start: Push and hold the START button on
the remote start key fob for one second.
b. Push-Button Start: Push and hold the engine
START/STOP button for two seconds.
SWITCHING FUEL SOURCES
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT add gasoline to
the fuel tank or connect the LPG/propane hose to the
generator while the generator is in operation.
GASOLINE TO PROPANE
IMPORTANT: Load capacity is reduced when running
on propane. Be sure the generator can
supply enough (running) and surge (starting)
watts for the items you are powering before
switching to propane.
1. Fully open the valve on the propane tank.
2. Turn the fuel selector switch to propane operation.
3. Turn the fuel tank valve to the OFF position.
PROPANE TO GASOLINE
1. Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position.
2. Turn the fuel selector switch to gasoline operation.
3. Turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position.
OPERATION
Note: When switching to propane operation the engine
may run rough for a few seconds while it purges
gasoline in the carburetor.
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 push 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.
5. If operating on propane, turn the propane tank valve to
the fully closed position.
FREQUENCY OF USE
If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), refer to
the Battery Maintenance and Storage sections of this
manual for information regarding battery charging and fuel
deterioration.
AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there is
a short circuit or a signific nt overload of the generator at
each receptacle.
See Figure 1a. If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF
automatically, be sure that the appliance is working
correctly and it does not exceed the rated load capacity
of the circuit before resetting the AC circuit breaker ON.
See Figure 1b. The main circuit breaker controls total output of
all outlets to protect the generator from overload or short circuit.
