STATSTATION™
The control panel has a built in LCD display to monitor the following features:
• Load Monitor (Total Generator Load)
• Hour Meter (Total Generator Hours)
• Voltage Meter (Total Voltage Output)
• Maintenance Reminder (Engine Maintenance)
When the generator is first started, the following title screen will display for
three seconds.
Load Monitor
The load monitor measures the output wattage (generator load) of all the
generator receptacles and will display “TOTAL PWR” (total power) along with
percentage of total generator load.
If the output wattage of “TOTAL PWR” is between 90% and 100%, the text
will flash. If it reaches 101%, the LCD display will change to “OVERLOAD
REMOVE LOAD”.
NOTICE
Failure to remove load from generator could cause circuit breaker(s)
to open and/or possible damage to generator.
Hour Meter
The LCD on the control panel also has a built in hour meter that displays and
records how many hours your generator has run (up to 9,999.9).
Voltage Meter
The LCD on the control panel also has a built in voltage meter that displays the
total voltage output.
Maintenance Reminder
The LCD on the control panel also has a built in maintenance reminder to alert
you to check oil, change air filter, change oil, and change spark plug. The LCD
will display the following screens for the different maintenance intervals:
• “CHECK OIL 8HRS HOLD TO RESET” after every 8 hours of operation.
• “AIR CLEANER 25HRS HOLD TO RESET” after every 25 hours of
operation.
• “OIL CHANGE 50HRS HOLD TO RESET” after every 50 hours of
operation.
• “SPARK PLG 100HRS HOLD TO RESET” after every 100 hours of
operation.
The different maintenance interval hours will count down to zero hours when
the generator is running. When a maintenance interval reaches zero hours the
LCD screen will flash the maintenance to be performed. Once maintenance
has been performed, you must push and hold the display button on the control
panel for a minimum of 3 seconds to reset the timer for each maintenance
interval.
Operation
Starting the Engine
Figure
4
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start
instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a flat, level surface.
NOTICE
Failure to start and operate the unit on a flat, level surface will cause
the unit not to start or shut down during operation.
2. Turn fuel valve (
4, S
) to on position (
I
).
3. Move choke lever (
4, R
) to choke position ( ).
4A. For electric starting (model 030620 only), turn and hold key in start
switch (
4, A
) to start ( ) position until generator starts. To prolong the
life of starter components, DO NOT hold key in start ( ) position for
more than 5 seconds, and pause for at least 1 minute between starting
attempts.
•
If engine starts, proceed to step 6.
•
If engine fails to start, proceed to step 5.
NOTICE
If battery is discharged, use manual starting instructions.
4B. For manual starting, push on/off switch to on position (
I
) or turn key in
start switch to run (
I
) position, grasp recoil handle (
4, P
) and pull slowly
until slight resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly one time only to start
engine.
•
If engine starts, proceed to step 6.
•
If engine fails to start, proceed to step 5.
5. Move choke lever to half choke position, pull recoil handle twice or turn
and hold key in start switch to start ( ) position as described in step 4.
•
If engine fails to start, repeat steps 3 thru 4.
6. Slowly move choke lever to run position (
). If engine falters, move
choke lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly, and then
to run position (
).
NOTICE
If engine floods, place choke lever in run position (
) and crank
until engine starts.
NOTICE
If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil
level in crankcase. This unit is equipped with a low oil protection device. If so,
oil must be at proper level for engine to start.
WARNING
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures
or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or
serious injury.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns resulting in
serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) of clearance on all sides of generator including
overhead.
• Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain
a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position
as the original parts.
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and
arm toward engine faster than you can let go which could cause
broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious
injury.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
