100165 - 7500W DUAL FUEL ELECTRIC START GENERATOR
OPERATION

NOTICE
The fuel selector cover is specifically designed not to slide to
either side while a specific fuel has been selected and the fuel
valve is in the “ON” position. Only when the fuel valves are in
the “OFF” position can the cover slide side to side.
NOTICE
The fuel selector is locked into place once a “click” sound
is made. Only then can a fuel valve be turned to the vertical
position.
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
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 is set to gasoline operation.
4. Turn the gasoline fuel valve to the “ON” position.
Electric Start
1. Move the choke to the “CHOKE” position.
1a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke to 75% of
the “CHOKE” position.
2. Press the battery switch to the “ON” position.
3. Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position.
Release as the engine begins to start. 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.
4. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the choke
to the “RUN” position over a 2-5 second duration.
CAUTION
If the ignition switch is held down in the “START” position
longer than 5 seconds it could damage the starter.
Manual Start
1. Press the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Move the choke to the “CHOKE” position.
2a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke to 75% of
the “CHOKE” position.
3. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
4. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the choke
to the “RUN” position over a 2-5 second duration.
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 is set to LPG operation.
4. Fully open the fuel valve on the LPG cylinder.
5. Turn the LPG fuel valve to the “ON” position.
