6,500W Gasoline Generator with Electric Start
V1.0
READING THE HOUR METER
The hour meter displays three different options on its LED display (Volt-Hz-Hour).
1. Volts – The voltage of the supplied by the generator through the selected power outlets.
2. Hertz – The electrical power’s frequency. Normal frequency is 60Hz.
3. Hours – The display shows the generator’s running time. This is helpful for maintenance
scheduling, as it is shows the number of hours the generator has actually been operating.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
ELECTRIC START
1. Remove all the loads from AC and DC power outlets and switch off the AC breaker.
2. Move the fuel valve lever (C) to the ON position. The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank
(J) and the carburetor. When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from
the fuel tank to the carburetor.
3. Move the choke lever (B) to the CLOSED position. The choke is used to provide an enriched
fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke
lever manually. The choke is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
4. Turn the main generator key (S) to the START position (Fig. 3-3) to
start the engine.
5. The engine should turn over and start running. If engine floods, set the
choke lever to the OPEN position, place the throttle in FAST and
attempt to restart.
6. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
RECOIL START
WARNING! Failure to follow the steps below will result in rapid retraction of the starter cord
faster than the user can let go. This will pull the user’s hand and arm toward the engine, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
The recoil start is available as a back-up method to start the generator without using the battery.
1. Remove all the loads from AC and DC power outlets and switch off the AC breaker.
2. Move the fuel valve lever (C) to the ON position. The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank
and the carburetor. When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the
fuel tank to the carburetor.
3. Move the choke lever (B) to the CLOSED position. The choke is used to provide an enriched
fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke
lever manually. The choke is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
4. Turn the main generator key (S) to the ON position. (Fig. 3-2).
5. Pull Start.
5.1 Pull the recoil starter handle (E) lightly until you feel resistance.
5.2 Pull the recoil starter handle briskly as soon as resistance is felt.
5.3 Do not allow the recoil starter handle to snap back against the engine. Instead, return the
starter grip gently by hand.
6. The engine should turn over and start running. If engine floods, set the choke lever to the
OPEN position, place the throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.
7. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine, gradually move it to
the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
Occasionally you may hear a light ‘spark knock’ or ‘pinging’ (metallic rapping noise) while operating
under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
Consider replacing the fuel if the spark knock or pinging continue to occur when the engine speed
is steady under a normal load. If the sounds continue after changing the fuel, contact Princess Auto
Ltd. for a solution or see a qualified technician.
NOTICE! Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
