Starting iGen2000, iGen2500 & iPro2500
1. Turn the fuel tank vent to the ON position (see
Figure 11).
Figure 11: Turn Fuel Vent to ON
2. Turn the engine/fuel control switch to the CHOKE
position (see Figure 12).

3. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until
you feel increased resistance. At this point, apply
a rapid pull while pulling out from the inverter (see
Figure 13).

4. As the engine starts and stabilizes, turn the choke
switch back in to the RUN position (see Figure 14).

USING EFFICIENCY MODE
The inverter is equipped with an eciency mode switch
to minimize fuel consumption. In eciency mode, the
inverter will sense the load and adjust the engine RPM
to the current load requirements. Eciency mode
should be used only after the inverter has been warmed
up to operating temperature.
1. To turn on the eciency mode, press the switch to
the ON position).
2. If no load is present, the inverter RPM will drop
down to an idle speed.
3. As a load is applied, the inverter will sense the load
and engine RPM will increase according to the load
applied.
4. To run the inverter at maximum power and RPM,
press the eciency mode switch to the OFF
position.
RESETTING THE RESET BREAKER
The inverter will trip the breaker and automatically
disconnect from the load when the controls sense a
predetermined overload condition. The inverter engine
will continue to run, but there will not be any electrical
output.
1. Turn o all devices and unplug them from the
inverter.
2. Determine the wattage required from the devices
being powered by the inverter. Make sure the
wattage required does not exceed the maximum
output of the inverter.
3. Press in the reset breaker to reset it.
4. Plug the devices in to the inverter.
5. Turn on the devices as needed.
STOPPING THE INVERTER
Normal Operation
During normal operation, use the following steps to
stop your inverter:
6. Remove any connected loads from the control
panel receptacles.
7. Allow the inverter to run at “no load” to reduce and
stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
8. Move the engine control switch to the OFF position.
9. Turn the fuel tank vent to the OFF position.
During an Emergency
If there is an emergency and the inverter must be
stopped quickly, move the engine control switch to the
OFF position immediately.
