10. If engine fails to start in 1-pull with choke in the “RUN” position, then pull choke out and repeat the
PULL-TO-PRIME step.
NOTE:
Observing frost on LPG containers and regulators is common during operation and normally is not an
indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the tank to the generator engine it expands.
The amount of frost that forms can be affected by the size of the container, the amount of fuel being
used, the humidity of the air and other operating conditions. In unusual situations this frost may
eventually restrict the flow of gas to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. For example, if
the tank temperature is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also
reduced and may not provide sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is not an indication of a problem
with the generator but only a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG container. If generator
performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is observed on tank valve,
hose or regulator then some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom. In these rare situations it
can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:
—
Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank to warm up, repeating as necessary
—
Placing the LPG container at the end of the generator near the handle, where engine tan air flows
out from the generator. This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The container should not
be placed in the path of the muffler outlet.
—
The container can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm water over the top of the tank.
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while
operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine speed to idle during
periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is connected. When the
economy switch is off, the engine runs at normal speed continuously
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF
12V DC Outlet
The 12V DC outlet can be used with the supplied USB charger and other commercially available 12V
DC automotive style plugs. The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products. Confirm
your accessory input voltage range is at least 12-24V DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Economy
mode switch to the
“
OFF
”
position.
Do not operate a device while It Is plugged in to the 12V DC outlet
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury or death.
