OPERATION
PROGRAMMING THE
GENERATOR FOR REMOTE
START
!
WARNING
Always make sure the area around the
generator is clear of bystanders before
using the remote start to start the
generator.
The generator can be started remotely from up to a
maximum of 109 yards (100 M) away using the remote
start key fob with new, fully charged batteries in the
key fob. As the batteries’ state of charge in the key fob
reduces, the distance to start the generator will also
reduce.
Before the generator can be started, an initial start-up
procedure must be performed so the generator and the
key fob recognize each other. If the key fob is replaced,
you will need to go through this procedure with the new
fob.
1. Turn the engine control switch to the RUN position.
2.
Push and hold the program button on the control
panel (see Figure 23) for 3 seconds. The remote
start indicator light will light.
