Operating Your Generator
Starting the Engine
Use the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a flat, level surface.
IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a
level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down
during operation.
2. Open control panel cover using standard screwdriver.
3. Disconnect all load(s) to generator.
4. Open LP tank fuel shut off valve(s).
5. Confirm 15 Amp fuse is installed in control panel.
6. Push and hold START/RUN/STOP switch in START
position until engine starts and control panel LED is
ON.
IMPORTANT: If you release the switch from the
START position before red LED comes on, the generator
will shut down.
NOTE: DO NOT crank engine for more than
15 seconds, then pause for 15 seconds to reduce heat in
starter. Repeat start process until engine starts.
NOTE: When starting generator, air may be present in
the fuel line(s), especially after changing fuel tanks. It may
take several starting cycles to purge that air before the
engine will start.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let engine run for two minutes after starting.
2. Open control panel cover and confirm generator’s
main circuit breaker is in the ON (closed) position.
See “Control Panel Controls and Features”.
3. Plug in, then turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
3. Close and latch control panel cover.
IMPORTANT:
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt
duplex receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See
“Don’t Overload Generator”.
Stopping the Engine
1. Open control panel cover using standard screwdriver.
2. Turn OFF all electrical loads. Disconnect them from
control panel receptacles.
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
3. Let engine run for two minutes with no loads to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and
generator.
4. Push and hold START/RUN/STOP switch in STOP
position until LED turns off and engine stops.
5. Close manual fuel shut off valve(s).
6. Close and latch control panel cover.
These steps should be performed after the generator has been
assembled, stored, moved, cleaned, or repaired. DO NOT operate this
generator until you have read and understand ALL of the warnings and
instructions in this operator’s manual.
• Insure that the generator is properly assembled.
• Inspect the LP fuel supply hoses for burns, chaffing, kinks, and
proper routing before each use. Hoses should be kept at least
3 inches (8 cm) away from hot surfaces.
• Leak test all LP fuel connections and and hoses. See “Leak Testing
Fuel System”.
• Position your generator on level ground in a well ventilated
location, 5 feet (152 cm) away from combustible materials and
buildings, including overhead. DO NOT use generator on wooden
decks or other surfaces that could burn.
Propane Gas is extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WARNING
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
Running engines produce heat. Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage LP fuel tank causing a fire.
