USING THE GENERATOR
SHUTTING OFF THE GENERATOR
CHANGING FUELS
1. Before changing the fuel source, make sure the generator is turned OFF or running UNDER half-load. DO
NOT change fuel when generator is over half-load.
2. If switching from LPG to gasoline, turn OFF the LPG tank valve and disconnect LPG fuel tank from genera-
tor. Then turn ON the fuel valve.
If switching from gasoline to LPG, turn OFF the fuel valve. Then follow the LPG connecting procedure in sec-
tion “FUEL OPTION B: Liquid petroleum gas (LPG)”.
3. Check the fuel level of the selected fuel and make sure there is adequate amount.
4. Turn the fuel selection dial to the desired fuel - Turn the dial up to 12 o’clock position for gasoline and down
to 6 o’clock position for LPG.
TO STOP THE GENERATOR
1. Turn off all electrical devices. Unplug the devices from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. If using gasoline, turn the fuel valve to the OFF (horizontal) position. If using LPG, turn the LPG tank valve
to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the OFF position when the gen-
erator is not in use.
5. Turn the fuel selection dial to Gasoline position (12 o’clock).
6. Drain the carburetor (See “Draining the Carburetor“ on Page 26).
WARNING:
Allow the generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during use.
CAUTION:
Allowing gasoline to sit in the fuel tank for long periods of time can make it difficult to start
the generator in the future. Never store the generator for extended periods of time (over 2 months) with
fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to “STORING THE GENERATOR”.
