OPERATION
NOTE: When battery power is available, the battery indicator
light and the green LED around the engine start/stop button will
illuminate.
To start the generator using the recoil handle:
l Move the choke to the on/cold start position.
NOTE: If the engine is warm, move the choke towards the on/
warm start position (about 2/3 of the way).
l Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until there is
increased resistance. At this point, pull the recoil handle rapidly
away from the generator until the engine starts.
NOTE: Gently return the recoil handle into place after starting
the unit. Do not let it snap back against the unit. During initial
starting, additional pulls may be required to prime the fuel pump.
l After the engine starts, move the choke to the off/warm start
position.
To start the generator using the remote start feature:
l Push and hold the start button on the key fob for two seconds.
NOTE: The red LED on the key fob should blink each time the
start button is pressed. If the red LED does not blink and the
generator does not start, then the battery in the fob may need
to be replaced. If the red LED does blink but the generator does
not start, the battery may need to charge. Start the unit using
the recoil handle. The battery will charge as the unit runs.
To start the generator using the engine start/stop
button:
l Push and hold the engine START/STOP button for two seconds.
NOTE: If the engine START/STOP button does not start the
generator, the battery may need to charge. Start the unit using
the recoil handle. The battery will charge as the unit runs.
To add loads after starting the generator:
l When the generator output stabilizes, safely connect loads to
the control panel receptacles.
NOTE: Confirm that all devices are turned off before connecting
them to the generator.
NOTE: Be sure that the wattage requirements for all connected
devices are compatible with the generator.
l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable, the engine
should run smoothly, and the device should function properly.
l Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize.
l Repeat this process for each additional load.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
See Figures 24 and 27.
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel receptacles.
l Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce and stabilize
engine and alternator temperatures.
l Press and hold the engine START/STOP button or the stop
button on the key fob for one second to stop the generator.
l Turn the battery switch off.
