OPERATION
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.
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 15AH 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.
NOTE
Starting the Engine Cont’d. Starting the Engine Cont’d.
If the ignition switch is held down in the “Start” position
longer than 5 seconds it could damage the starter.
CAUTION
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. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob.
4. Turn the LPG fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position.
6. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
7. ELECTRIC START: Move the choke lever to the “75%
Choke” detent position.
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke
lever to the “75% CHOKE” detent position.
8. 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.
9. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually
move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over a 2-5
second duration.
10. RECOIL START: Move the choke lever to the “100%
Choke” detent position.
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke
lever to the “100% CHOKE” detent position.
For LPG starting in cold ambient < 15°C (59°F)
Move the choke lever to the “75% Choke” position
for electric starting and “100% Choke” for recoil
start. For electric start, gradually move the choke
lever to the “RUN” position over a 2-10 second
duration. To pull to prime for recoil start Pull with
“100% Choke” 1-3 times until you feel a few
combustion pulses that indicates that the engine
momentarily started.
NOTE
For restarts with hot engine in hot ambient > 30°C
(86°F) keep choke lever in “75% Choke” detent
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 sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
For petrol starting in in cold ambient < 15°C
(59°F) the choke must be in the 100% “CHOKE”
detent position for both electric and recoil start
procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine
starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position over a 5-20 second duration.
NOTE
11. PULL-TO-PRIME: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. Pull with
“100% Choke” 1-2 times until you feel a few
combustion pulses that indicates that the engine
momentarily started.
12. Move the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
13. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
14. If engine fails to start in 1-pull with choke in the
“RUN”, then move choke to “100% Choke” and
repeat the PULL-TO-PRIME step.
