The generator switch is to stop and start the generator. You will hold the switch
down until the generator performs the desired function, either stop or start, then
release the switch. Note: do not hold the switch down for more than 10 seconds
at a time. If the generator does not start, wait 15 seconds then repeat. If it still
does not start, you can attempt to start it using the switch on the generator itself.
Once the generator is started, let it run 2 to 3 minutes before turning on or
operating any electrical appliances.

Make sure before starting the generator that all
electrical appliances (mainly the roof A/C) are turned
off. Attempting to start the generator when the roof
A/C is on may overload the generator causing it to
blow a fuse, or worse, a circuit board.
