OPERATION
26
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or
turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
3.
If operating by gasoline:
3. Turn the EZ Start dial to the “STOP” position.
4.
If operating by propane (LPG):
4a. Fully close the fuel valve on the LPG cylinder.
4b. Once the generator runs out of fuel, turn EZ Start dial to
the “STOP” position.
Important:
Always ensure that controls are in the “OFF” or STOP
position when the generator is not in use.

WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal
injury or damage to the generator.
Lift unit up by the frame with 2 people and move to the desired
location.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level.
Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio
decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced
approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.
At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due
to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude
issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and
spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended altitude range for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the
following table.
