STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that generator is outside on a dry, level surface with at least two feet of clearance on all sides.
2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see “Ground the Generator”).
3. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (see “Add / check Oil”).
4. Make sure there is sufficient level of gasoline in the fuel tank. Add fuel if necessary (see “Add / check Fuel”).
5. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for
the engine to start.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Turn the ECO-MODE (Fig. 10) switch to “OFF” during starting.
2. Turn the 3-in-1 dial switch (Fig. 11) to the “START” position.
NOTE:
If starting the generator with a warm engine, turn the dial
switch to the “RUN” position.
Option A: Electric Start
3. Push the start button inwards until the engine starts.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start, release the button and try
again. Keeping the switch in the START position too long can
damage the starter.
NOTE:
The lithium-ion battery is shipped partially charged, in
order to maximize its service life, and may not have enough
charge to start the engine during the first use of the generator.
If you have trouble starting the generator the first time using
electric start, use the pull start option and allow the generator
to run for a few hours to charge the battery.
4. When engine starts, turn the switch to the “RUN” position.
NOTE:
If you have repeated failed attempts to start the engine,
please consult the troubleshooting guide (page 36). If problems
persist, please call please call
1-(800) 232-1195
M-F 8-5 CST.
Option B: Pull Start
3. Place one hand on the generator to hold it in place, and pull
on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is
felt (Fig. 12). Then pull quickly to start the engine. Return cord
gently into the machine. Never allow the cord to snap back.
4. If engine fails to start, repeat step 3B.

5. After the engine has started, turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “RUN” position. The output indicator light (green) will
light up.
6. Allow the generator to run for several minutes before attempting to connect any electrical devices. This allows the
generator to stabilize its speed and temperature.
