Clean area around fuel cap and remove the cap slowly. • Propane tanks that use liquid withdrawal system can not be used on these models.
ASSEMBLY CONNECT THE BATTERY WARNING Explosion hazard. Batteries emit explosive gases while charging. Keep fire and spark away. A quick-connect battery plug is pre-installed on the battery. Remove the cable tie securing the plugs then push firmly to connect them. 6. Remove the safety plug or cap from the propane tank valve and attach the other end of the hose to the LPG/ propane connector on the tank. Hand tighten. 7. Turn the propane tank valve to the fully open position.
OPERATION OPERATION GENERATOR LOCATION Read and understand all safety information before starting the generator. DANGER Asphyxiation hazard. Place the generator in a wellventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning the generator. GROUNDING WARNING Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
OPERATION 3. Remove the nut securing the neutral ground wire and attach the bonded jumper wire. Reinstall the nut. Note: As the batteries in the remote start key fob drain, operational distance will decrease. PAIRING THE REMOTE START Remote replacement batteries: (2) CR2016 Replacement remote: # 100714A If the remote start key fob is replaced or needs re-paired to the generator, follow this procedure. 1. Turn the generator battery switch to the ON position. The power indicator light will illuminate. 4.
OPERATION FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH Position the fuel selector switch on the front control panel to the desired fuel choice. Turn the fuel selector switch fully upward for gasoline operation. BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR Verify that: • The generator is placed in an safe, appropriate location. • The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface. • The engine is filled with oil. • All loads are disconnected. DANGER Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE: PROPANE DANGER Fire and explosion hazard. ALWAYS turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position if not running the generator on propane. 1. Make sure the LPG/propane hose is correctly connected to the generator and propane tank. 2. Turn the fuel selector switch to propane operation. 3. Fully open the valve on the propane tank. 4. Push the battery switch to the ON position. 5. Choose the starting method: a.
OPERATION AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at each receptacle. If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working correctly and it does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before resetting the AC circuit breaker ON. GENERATOR CAPACITY NOTICE DO NOT overload the generator’s capacity.

MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT PARTS WARNING Accidental start-up. Disconnect the spark plug boot from the spark plug and disconnect the battery quick-connect plugs when performing maintenance on the generator. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend the service life of the generator. Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions as noted below.
MAINTENANCE NOTICE DO NOT twist or tear the foam air filter element during cleaning or drying. Only apply slow but firm squeezing action. 5. Rinse the air filter element by submerging it in fresh water and applying a slow squeezing action. Allow the filter to dry thoroughly. Check the engine oil level before each use or every 8 hours of operation. 1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow the engine to cool for several minutes. 2. With a damp rag, clean around the oil dipstick. 3.
MAINTENANCE 4. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the oil drain bolt and allow the oil the to drain. 6. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a wire-type feeler gauge. If necessary, correct the gap by carefully bending the side electrode. Spark plug gap: 0.024 – 0.032 in. (0.60 – 0.80 mm) 5. Install the oil drain bolt and tighten securely. Note: A new oil drain plug crush washer is recommended at each oil change. 6.
MAINTENANCE FUEL FILTER 7. Install and tighten the fuel valve until it has a few threads remaining and is facing outward. Note: Have an appropriate gasoline container and rags ready to catch residual fuel in the filter and fuel line. 8. Hold it in place and tighten the retaining bolt. DO NOT overtighten. 1. Allow the generator to cool completely. 9. Replace the fuel line and secure with the clamp. Replace the fuel filter after 100 hours of use. 2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
MAINTENANCE 5. Connect the red (+) quick-connect cable to the battery positive terminal. Slide the rubber boot over the connection hardware. 6. Install the battery into the generator. Reinstall the battery hold-down plate and tighten the bolt. 7. Connect the quick-connect plug. NOTICE Dispose of the used battery properly according to the guidelines established by your local or state government. STORAGE Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free operation and generator longevity.
MAINTENANCE DRAINING THE FUEL TANK If storing the generator for longer than six months, drain the fuel tank to prevent fuel separation, deterioration, and deposits in the fuel system. 1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap. Remove the fuel screen filter by slightly compressing it while removing it from the tank. 2. Using a commercially available gasoline hand pump (not included), siphon the gasoline from the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. DO NOT use an electric pump. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Engine will not start POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Battery switch in the OFF position. Turn battery switch to the ON position. Out of fuel. Refuel. Bad fuel, generator stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline. Drain the fuel tank. Refuel with fresh gasoline. Dirty air filter. Clean the air filter. Low engine oil level stopped generator. If low oil LED illuminated, turn battery switch to the OFF position. Add engine oil.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM TROUBLESHOOTING Frost on the propane tank or regulator Propane fuel smell Poor performance or engine stalling on Propane POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION If the temperature of the propane tank drops below the dew point, condensation on the tank may turn to frost or ice. This typically occurs in humid conditions. Providing all the propane fuel handling equipment is functioning normally, no correction is needed.
