OPERATION
15. Allow portable generator to run at no load for a few minutes to stabilize before plugging in
any electrical devices.
NOTICE
If engine starts but fails to run, or if portable generator shuts down during operation,
check oil level. See Low Oil Shutdown section for more information.
14. For electric start only - Move the choke knob to the RUN position.
NOTICE
Observing frost on LPG cylinder and regulator is common during operation and normally
is not an indication of a problem. In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the flow of
LPG gas to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. In these rare situations it can be
helpful to:
•
Exchanging fuel cylinders to allow the first cylinder
to warm up, repeating as necessary.
Placing the LPG 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 air flowing
over the engine. Do not place the LPG cylinder in the
path of the muffler exhaust outlet.
•
The LPG cylinder and components can be temporarily
warmed by pouring warm water over them.
