NOTICE

For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient > 
86°F (30°C):

 Rotate the EZ Start dial to 75% of the full choke 

position for only one pull of the recoil cord. If generator does 
not start after first pull, rotate the dial to the RUN position 
for the next three pulls. Too much choke leads do spark plug 
fouling and engine flooding. This will cause the engine not to 
start.

"

 

NOTICE

For gas starting in cold ambient < 59°F (15°C): 

The choke 

must be in 100% of the “CHOKE” position for manual start 
procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as the engine starts, 
turn the EZ Start dial to the “RUN” position.

"

 

NOTICE

If the engine starts but does not continue to run, make certain 
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is 
equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine 
from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

Starting the Engine: Propane (LPG)

1.  Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface. 

2.  Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start 

or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or 
turned on.

3.  Open the fuel valve on the propane cylinder.

4.  Turn EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the full “CHOKE” 

position.

5.  Slowly pull the starter cord 2-4 times to prime the engine.

6.  Move the EZ Start dial to the “RUN” position.

7.  Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then 

pull rapidly.

NOTICE

Accumulation of frost on LPG cylinder and regulators is 
common during operation and normally is not an indication 
of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the cylinder 
to the generator engine it expands. The amount of frost that 
forms can be affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount 
of LPG being used, the humidity of the air and other operating 
conditions.

In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the flow 
of LPG to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. 
For example, if the cylinder temperature is reduced to a very 
low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also 
reduced and may not provide sufficient flow to the engine. This 
is not an indication of a problem with the generator but only 
a problem with the flow of LPG from the cylinder. If generator 
performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that 
ice formation is observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then 
some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.

In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate 
the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:

 

Exchanging fuel cylinders to allow the first cylinder to 
warm up, repeating as necessary.

 

Placing the cylinder at the end of the generator near the 
handle, where engine fan air flows out from the generator. 
This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The 
cylinder should not be placed in the path of the muffler 
outlet.

 

The cylinder can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm 
water over the top of the cylinder.
