Control Functions
Selector Switch
OFF
- Ignition circuit is off, the fuel valve is closed, the engine
will not run.
RUN
– Ignition circuit is on, the fuel valve is open, the choke is
open, and the engine runs normally.
START (CHOKE)
– (only used for cold starting) Ignition circuit is
on, fuel valve is open, choke is closed.
If the engine is hot, do not
use the choke.
Oil Indicator (Red)
When the engine oil level drops too low the engine will
automatically shut down and the oil alarm indicator illuminates.
The engine can be restarted up only after the engine oil is filled
correctly.
Tip:
If the engine will not start turn the 3 in 1 knob to "RUN"
position and pull recoil handle. If the oil indicator flashes a few
seconds, the oil volume is insufficient, fill oil to the dipstick high
mark and restart it.

Overload Indicator (Red)
When the overload indicator illuminates, the generator has
detected excess electrical load and the circuit breaker may
open (trip).
If the overload indicator illuminates and the generator has no
electrical output, perform the following:
①
Disconnect all electrical loads then and shut down the
generator.
②
Reduce total draw of electrical loads connected, less than
rated output.
③
Confirm there is no debris blocking the air inlet, correct as
necessary.
④
Next, restart the engine and add electrical load in gradual steps.
Tip:
When using electrical equipment with high starting current
(such as compressors, saws, pumps, etc.), the overload indicator
may illuminate for a few seconds, this is normal.
AC Indicator (Green)
The AC indicator illuminates when electrical output is stable.
Energy Saving (Idle) Switch
1) "ON"
When energy saving switch is switched to "ON" position engine
speed is reduced when the generator is under light load. This
feature will reduce fuel consumption and noise.
LOW IDLE
