CONTROLS
Display
Th
is generator is equipped with a display that
can show the Voltage, frequency, total
accumulated hours of operation, and current
hours. Use toggle switch (1) to change the
readout of the display to the desired setting.
Th
e display will show 3 maintenance messages
when running: P-25 displays after the first 25
hours running to remind the user to change
engine oil. P-50 displays after every 50 hours of
use to remind user to change engine oil and
check air filter. P-100 displays after every 100
hours of use to remind user to change engine
oil, check air filter, and check spark plug. These
codes fade away after 6 minutes of use.
Engine Idle Control Switch
This generator is equipped with an engine idle
control switch. When in the on position “I” the
engine will reduce speed when power is not
required to conserve fuel, and reduce wear and
noise.
When power for a connected device is required
the speed will automatically increase to rated
speed.
Note: If loads requiring intermittent power, or
multiple large loads are connected, turn the idle
control switch off “O” to avoid possible engine
stall. To avoid extended warm-up time, keep the
idle control off until normal operating
temperatures have been reached.
Generator Switch
Turn the generator switch to the start position
“
” and hold until the engine starts (no more
than 5 seconds). Releasing the switch
automatically returns it to the on “I” position. To
turn off the generator, turn the generator switch
to the off “0” position.
NOTE: Turn the generator switch to the off “0”
position when not in use to avoid battery drain.
Choke
The choke is used to provide more fuel when
st
arting a cold engine. If the engine is cold, pull
the choke knob out before starting the engine.
Once the engine is warm, slowly push the choke
knob in.
Fuel Switch
The fuel switch controls the flow of the fuel from
th
e fuel tank to the carburetor. Turn the fuel
switch to the on “I” position before starting the
engine. Turn the fuel switch to the off "O"
position after stopping the engine.
