201057 - 4250W DUAL FUEL OPEN FRAME INvERTER
OPERATION
24
NOTICE
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil
cord. After first pull, move choke to “RUN” position for up to
3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much choke leads to spark plug
fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient >
86°F (30°C)
, keep choke in 75% of the “CHOKE” position for
only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, move choke to
“RUN” position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much
choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack
of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C),
the choke must be in 100% of the “CHOKE” position
for recoil cord procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as
engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position over a 2-5 second duration.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not 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.
Starting the Engine: Propane (LPG)
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or
turned on.
3. Make sure the fuel selector dial is set to LPG operation.
4. Fully open the fuel valve on the LPG cylinder.
Electric Start
1. Move the choke to 75% of the “CHOKE” position.
1a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke to the
same position.
2. Press and release the ignition switch. If the engine fails to
start after seven (7) seconds, wait at least ten (10) seconds
before attempting to start the engine again.
3. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the choke
to the “RUN” position over a 2-5 second duration.
