The ground terminal located on the front panel of the generator may be used for additional grounding,

or when connected to a structure. Connect the ground terminal to an earthen ground rod, driven six

feet into the ground. with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects to the

terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure proper connection.

Grounding thegenerator protects you from electric shock that results from a build up of static electricity

or undetected ground faults.

Fig 11 Recoil Start

• Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.

• Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position. (See fig 9)

• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 10) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.

• Push the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull the recoil handle (starter cord) slowly until resistance is felt, return,

then pull rapidly. (See fig 11)

• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”

position until the choke is fully engaded to the “RUN” position. (See fig 12)

• Connect the propane hose to the intake nozzle of regulator; Open the valve on the LPG tank (See fig 8)

• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (See fig 10)

CAUTION! Failure to follow this process may cause rough operation which could lead to engine damage

CAUTION

It is very important to SHUT OFF the fuel supply and wait for the generator to stop running before switching fuel source.

Gasoline to Propane:

1. With the generator running, turn the gasoline supply valve 90 degrees to shut off flow; then wait (up to 2 minutes) for

the machine to stop on its own.

2. With the generator and gasoline supply now OFF and propane hose properly connected, open the propane supply by

turning the supply valve fully left, wait 30 seconds, then start the generator.

Propane to Gasoline:

1. With the generator running, turn the propane supply valve fully right to shut off flow; then wait (up to 30 seconds) for

the machine to stop on its own.

2. With the generator and propane supply now OFF, turn gasoline supply valve 90 degrees, (straight up and down) wait

2 minutes, then start the generator.
