Understanding Your Battery
When the key is turned to the ON position the display illuminates, the ECU turns on, the fuel pump turns on long
enough to bring up the fuel pressure, and the stepper motor is energized for proper throttle position for starting.
Because of the power requirements of these components, the battery in this generator is considered dead at a higher
voltage than it would be in other types of equipment. The battery must have a charge of at least 10.5V to be able to
start the generator, even by recoil. If the battery has a charge in the range of 10-10.5V, the generator may crank very
well, but the starter will be drawing most of the power, depriving the other components of the power they need to
successfully start the generator. There must be a battery charge in excess of 10.5V to ensure that all of the
components have the power necessary to start the generator.
During normal use, the generator engine will be shut off with either the remote fob, the ignition key, or by pressing
the
r ed STOP button on the control panel. This manual provides instructions, notes, and warnings dealing with each
of those methods of stopping the generator. But the engine may shut off for any of the following reasons:
• The generator may run out of gas.
• The generator may run low on oil.
• The ECU may shut off the engine due to an error reported by a sensor.
These shutdowns may occur when you are not present. When the generator engine shuts off, there will still be a
drain on the battery due to the display, the ECU, and the stepper motor, as long as the key is in the ON position.
Although your unit is equipped with a sleep mode that shuts down these components when the generator is not
running, the sleep mode circuit will still be monitoring the generator, and over time this circuit will drain the
battery below the 10.5V necessary to start the generator.
You must turn the key to the OFF position, and turn off
the remote switch, to shut off the electronics completely.
If you are operating the generator through the remote fob and the engine is not running, the remote switch will blink
red to remind you to turn the remote switch off.
Whenever the remote switch is on, it is drawing current from the
battery. When the engine is not running, the battery will not be charged to compensate for the load from the
remote receiver, and over time the battery will be drained below the 10.5V necessary to start the generator. You
must turn off the remote switch when you will not use the remote fob to start the generator.
