If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your generator, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. 2.
Assembly 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator NOTICE NOTICE The recommended oil type for typical use is 10W-30 automotive oil. However, using the listed conventional oils shown in the “Recommended Engine Oil Type” chart may be used for typical use including the first 5 hours of the break-in run time period of the engine. Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
Assembly 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. y b c CAUTION Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. 1. Remove the gasoline cap. DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank. 2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Grounding Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock. WARNING Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Generator Location NOTICE WARNING This blinking LED light does not indicate CO Shield® is working, as CO Shield® is working at all times when the generator is running. Also, the LED light will not blink (10) times if the generator was restarted within 1 minute after it was manually shut off. This does not occur if generator shut off from a high CO event.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator 2. Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position. WARNING Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Keep all objects a minimum of 5 feet (1.5m) away from the generator at all times. Heat from the muffler surface and exhaust gas stream can ignite combustible materials. WARNING If you must operate in rain or damp locations, DO NOT operate without proper protection of the electrical components. 3.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator 1. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position. 6. Push and hold the programming button approximately three seconds until the red light turns off. 2. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position. 7. Follow the remote START and STOP instructions to verify the remote(s) are working properly. NOTICE Two remote key fobs can be synchronized to the generator at one time.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator 2. 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. 4. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. 5. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over a 2-5 second duration.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator NOTICE WARNING For Wireless and Electric Start only: A safety feature is provided which delays the electrical power availability during starting mode. The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds. The delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during engine startup.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator 1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached. NOTICE 2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to temperature. In any electrical application, some current will flow through the protective ground conductor to the ground, this is called leakage current. It takes 4 mA (0.004 A) and higher of leakage current from the hot wire to the ground to cause a GFCI to trip.
Operation 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve, the ignition switch, and the battery switch are in the “OFF” position when the generator will not be used for an extended period of time. NOTICE Battery power is drawn while the generator is in standby mode (battery switch ON).
Maintenance 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Operation at High Altitude MAINTENANCE The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Maintenance 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Cleaning and Adjusting the Spark Plug Changing the Engine Oil 1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification to select the proper grade for your operating environment. 2. Use a spark plug socket tool (not included), or a 13/16 in. (21 mm) socket (not included) to remove the plug. 1. Remove the oil drain bolt with a 12 mm socket (not included) and extension.
Maintenance 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Adjusting the Governor 2. Remove the foam element. 3. Wash in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze thoroughly dry in a clean cloth. WARNING 4. Saturate in clean engine oil. Tampering with the factory set governor will void your warranty. 5. Squeeze in a clean, absorbent cloth to remove all excess oil. 6. Place the filter in the assembly. The air-fuel mixture is not adjustable.
Storage 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Remote Control Battery EVERY 3 YEARS Replace fuel line* NOTICE – Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use. * To be performed by knowledgeable, experienced owners or CPE certified service centers. – Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. STORAGE – Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Storage 201158 - 7500W Wireless Remote Start Generator Long Term Storage (over 1 year) 5c. Use the drain bolt on the carburetor to empty any excess gasoline from the carburetor into an appropriate container. Use a funnel (and appropriate hose if necessary) under the carburetor drain bolt to avoid spillage. For storage over 1 year, the gasoline tank and carburetor must be completely drained of gasoline. 1. The generator is to be OFF and all appliances disconnected. 2.
