100544 - 7000W DUAL FUEL GENERATOR
OPERATION
20
–
Neutral circuit
IS
electrically connected to the frame/ground
of the generator.
–
The generator system ground connects lower frame
cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your model's control panel for specified type of grounding.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are designed
to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected
by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to
prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect
sensitive electronic equipment.
–
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-
duration voltage fluctuations.
Fuel Selector Dial
The fuel selector dial on the side panel of the generator is
designed specifically to choose between the fuel source
desired, Gasoline or Propane (LPG).
To select a fuel source simply rotate the dial to either the right
or left to the desired fuel.
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
1. Refer to Generator Location section before attempting to
start generator.
2. Make certain the generator is filled with gasoline and oil.
See Assembly section.
3. Make certain the generator is on a level surface.

amber.
2. Start app on smart device and follow instructions.
3. Press START on app screen. The generator will attempt to
start. There will be up to (6) starting attempts.
A safety feature is provided which delays the electrical power
available to the receptacles during start up for approximately 15
seconds. The receptacles are “live” when the Intelligauge starts
displaying values. The delay is provided to prevent damage
to the generator if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on
during start up.
Electric Start
1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never
start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in and turned ON.
2. Press the START/STOP button once. The button will flash
amber but the generator will not attempt to start.
3. Press the START/STOP button a second time. The button
will now flash green and the generator will attempt to start.
There will be up to (6) starting attempts. After generator
starts, the button will turn solid green.
Manual Start
1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never
start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in and turned ON.
2. Move choke lever to the full “CHOKE” position
O
.
If restarting warm engine, move the choke lever to 75% of
full choke position.
3. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. Several pulls may be required.
