OPERATION

 

SWITCHING FUEL SOURCES 

BEFORE ADDING GAS TO THE TANK 

PLEASE REVIEW FUEL SAFETY SECTION 

ON PAGE 7

The below assumes that the propane fuel line is already 

attached to the generator securely and safely.

While the unit is running simply turn the 

FUEL SELECTOR

 

knob to the desired fuel source. If you want to switch from 

gasoline to propane make sure the propane tank valve is 

open before you switch. When you move from propane to 

gasoline shut the propane valve after you have switched 

to gas. 

NOTICE

If you do not plan on operating the unit on propane do not leave 

the propane tank valve open.

When starting on propane the engine may run rough for a few 

seconds while it purges gasoline in the carburetor. 

If the engine fails when switching fuel sources simply restart the 

unit on the fuel source that you switched to. 

STARTING THE GENERATOR 

Be sure to check oil and gas levels before starting. If it is 

the first time starting make sure to add oil

.

1.  Make sure nothing is plugged into power outlets.
2.  Verify the battery is properly installed and both battery 

cables are attached.

3.  Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set.
4.  Select fuel source for start up:

FOR GASOLINE:

a.  Move the fuel shut off valve to the 

ON

FOR LPG/PROPANE:

a.  Make sure the LPG hose is safely secured from 

the generator to the tank.

b.  Turn the fuel selector knob to 

PROPANE

c.  Fully open the valve on the propane tank.

5.  If engine is cold, move the choke lever to the 

ON

 

position. If engine is warm move the choke to the 

OFF

 position.

6.  Electric Start:

Note: If the engine fails to start after 5 seconds, release 

the engine control switch. Let the generator sit idle for 15 

seconds and then repeat step 6a. If the cranking speed 

drops after each unsuccessful attempt, then the battery may 

not be adequately charged. Manually start the generator by 

following steps below:

Manual Start:

 Firmly grasp and pull the recoil 

handle slowly until you feel increased resistance. 

At this point, apply a rapid pull while pulling up and 

slightly away from the generator.

the choke lever back to the 

OFF

 position.

8.  Wait 15 seconds for engine to stabilize before 

plugging in electronic devices.
