OPERATION
Wireless Remote and Electric Start
Wireless remote starting is only possible
within 80 feet
of the generator.
Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke. The
wireless remote and electric starting systems will
automatically close and open the choke.
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the
generator. Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Battery Switch to “ON”.
5. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
6. WIRELESS REMOTE START: press and release the
“START” button on the handheld Remote Control
device. DO NOT hold the button down, only press
the button once. The engine will attempt to start six
times.
7. A safety feature is provided which delays the
electrical power availability during starting mode.
The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds. The
delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator
if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during
engine startup.
8. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch
to the “START” position. Release as the engine
begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within
five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten
seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
9. If the generator fails to start, check the battery
condition and cable connections.
Recoil Start
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the
generator. Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
5. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
7. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
If the engine starts but does not continue to run
make certain that the generator is on a flat, level
surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
When the battery switch is in the “ON” position,
the switch will light up if the battery is sending
out a charge. If the switch does not light up while
in the “ON” position, check that the battery
connection is still good.
NOTE
The supplied 12V 9AH battery does re-charge while
the engine is running, but it is also recommended
that the battery be fully charged at least once per
month.
