OPERATION
The fuel selector switch cover is specifically
designed not to slide to either side while a specific
fuel has been selected and the valve is in the “ON”
position. Only when the fuel valves are in the “OFF”
position can the cover slide side to side.
NOTE
The fuel selector is locked into place once a
“CLICK” sound is made. Only then can a fuel valve
be turned to the vertical position.
NOTE
Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the
generator is designed specifically to choose between the
fuel source desired, Gas or Propane (LPG).
To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to
either the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel
valve of the fuel selected.
The propane fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch
cover.
The gasoline fuel valve (B) is to the right of the switch
cover.

Once a fuel source has been selected, the user must
turn the fuel valve to the vertical position to open the
fuel valve. (1)
To turn a fuel valve to the off position the valve must be
in the horizontal position. (2)
Starting the Engine in ambient > 15°C (59°F)
Gas
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the gasoline fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Move the choke lever to the “100% CHOKE” detent
position.
a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke
lever to the “75% CHOKE” detent position.
5. Press the engine switch to the “ON” position.
6. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
7. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually
move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over a 2-5
second duration.
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “RUN” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient
> 30°C (86°F) Keep choke lever in “75% CHOKE”
detent position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter.
After first pull, move choke lever to the “RUN”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil
starter.
Too much choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will
cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
For gas starting in in cold ambient < 15°C (59°F)
the choke must be in the “100% CHOKE” detent
position for recoil start procedures. Do not over-
choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position over a 5-20
second duration.
