1. Check engine oil, fuel and coolant levels.
Note:
If the engine was run out of fuel or the fuel tank was drained, it
may be necessary to bleed the fuel lines. Refer to the engine operation manual supplied with the unit.
2. Check the condition of the electrical cord on the inside of the unit.
3. Check that the main circuit breaker and individual circuit breakers for each of the lights are in the OFF “O”
position.
Note:
If the red light on the control panel “TURN MAIN BREAKER OFF” is illuminated when the key is
turned to the START position, the breaker is closed (switched on)
.
4. Turn the key on the engine start switch to the left GLOW PLUG position and hold the key in place until the glow
plug indicator turns red. As soon as it is glowing, turn the key to the right to the START position and hold it until
the engine cranks and starts running. Release the key, it will move to the RUN position.
NOTICE
Do not crank the engine longer than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine will not start, wait 30 seconds to
allow the starter motor to cool and then repeat the starting procedure. Excessive cranking will cause
damage to the starter.

Note:
If oil pressure is not obtained within 30 seconds after the key is switched to the RUN position, the low-oil
automatic shutdown will turn off the fuel supply, stopping the engine. Check the oil level and turn the key to the
OFF position to reset the oil pressure timer before attempting to restart the engine.
6. Once the engine is running, allow it to reach normal operating temperature before switching on any loads.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high coolant temperature auto-shutdown system. This system will
automatically shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine if oil pressure drops too low or the engine exceeds normal
operating temperature. Return the switch to the OFF position to reset the unit after you have determined the cause
of the shutdown.
