If  the  generator  fails  to  start  after  a  total  of  six 
attempts, the start button on the remote control 
must be pushed again to begin another cycle of 
six start attempts.

8. Allow generator to run at no load for few

  

minutes upon each initial start-up to permit 

    engine and generator to stablize.

Connecting Electrical Loads

1.Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few 
   minutes after starting.
2.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in 
   on position.
3.Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt 
   AC, single phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is 
   better to attach the item with largest load first.

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to 
handle its full capacity. Before starting the 
generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only 
after generator is running. Voltage is regulated 
via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for 
correct output. Readjusting will void warranty.

CAUTION

When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum 
wattage rating of the generator when using one or 
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage 
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in 
period (the first five hours of operations).

If the engine fails to start within 3 to 5 seconds, 
the engine will attempt to start five additional 
times. If the generator failed to start, the remote 
start indicator light will flash.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads. 
    Never start or stop the generator with 
    electrical devices plugged in or turned on.

    Let the generator run at no-load for two 
    minutes to stabilize internal temperatures 
    of the engine and generator.

2. 

Remote Start Operation

Push and release the "

STOP

" button on the 

remote control. The generator will run for an 
additional 15 seconds as it goes through a 
cool down cycle before shutting off.

Note

: Skip this step and go to step 3, if you are 

not using Remote Start to shutdown the engine.
