CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote
control system for starting and stopping. The system
consists of (4) main components:
• Receiver Control Module (RCM)
• Wireless remote
• Battery switch (button)
• Ignition switch (button)
Both the ignition switch and the battery switch need to
be turned on for the remote control functions to work. To
start the generator press the “start” button once. The
engine will attempt to start for up to 6 times. The RCM
will engage the auto choke. If the generator does not
start then call your local dealer. To stop the generator
press the “stop” button once.
Remote Control Power Function
If the ignition switch (button) is left on then the battery
can be completely drained. To prevent battery drain turn
both the ignition switch and the battery switch to the off
position.
Power Panel Load Management
When starting the generator by remote control there
will be a 15 second delay before the power panel is
operational. When using the remote control to stop the
generator the power panel switches off immediately
followed by the engine 5 seconds later. The on/off
voltage delay at startup and shutdown only occurs when
using the remote control. When using either the electric
start button or the recoil start method the operator must
ensure that all electrical loads (appliances) are turned
off during start up and shut down. Failure to do so can
damage the generator or attached appliances.
