5. See Figure 3-2. When engine starts, rotate
PowerDial to RUN (2). Choke operation is
reduced as PowerDial is rotated towards
RUN. If engine falters, rotate PowerDial
counterclockwise to START (1) to increase
choke. When engine runs smoothly, rotate
back to RUN.
NOTE: If engine fires, but does not continue to
run, rotate the PowerDial to START and
repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not overload gener-
ator or individual panel receptacles. See
Figure 3-3. If an overload occurs, the over-
load LED (A) will illuminate and AC output
ceases. Press and hold the reset button for
3 seconds to reset the fault condition while
the unit is running. Read Know Generator
Limits carefully.

Generator Shut Down
1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical
loads from generator panel receptacles.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several min-
utes to stabilize internal temperatures of
engine and generator.
3. See Figure 3-2 Rotate PowerDial clock-
wise to STOP (3).
4. Turn fuel cap OFF.
Restarting Hot Engines
1. See Figure 3-2. Turn PowerDial counter-
clockwise, from STOP until just past RUN.
This will open the fuel valve and permit
starting.
2. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rap-
idly up and away.
3. Turn PowerDial clockwise to RUN.
Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor that shuts down the engine automati-
cally when the oil level drops below a speci-
fied level. See Figure 3-3 (B). The engine will
not run until the oil has been filled to the
proper level.
If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient
fuel, check engine oil level.
Parallel Operation
For output power up to 3200W, two iQ2000
inverters can operate in parallel using Gen-
erac’s Smart Parallel Kit (optional). See the
Smart Parallel Kit Operator’s Manual or con-
tact an IASD.
NOTE: All connections to the parallel kit
should be made while both inverters are
turned off and all loads disconnected.
1. The economy mode switch for both units
must be matching and set to either stan-
dard or turbo.
2. Make appropriate parallel connections to
the 120V duplex outlets on each iQ2000
inverter as outlined in the owner’s manual
supplied with the kit.
NOTE: Do not disconnect any parallel kit con-
nections once the units are running.
3. Start both units per starting instructions.
Once the green output indicator illumi-
nates, devices can be connected and
turned on using the parallel kit outlet.
4. Follow Generator Shut Down instructions.
NOTE: Load applied to the parallel kit is not to
exceed 3200 watts.
NOTE: Only use Generac approved parallel
kit.
