SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while the
generator is running can cause gasoline to leak
and come in contact with hot surfaces that can
ignite the gasoline.
Before starting the generator, always check:
• Level of Engine oil
• Level of gasoline in the fuel tank
• Secured connection to an undamaged LPG tank
It is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or engine
oil to the engine while the engine is running or the
engine and muer are hot.
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the engine
crankcase while the engine is running.
Removing the oil ll plug/ dipstick while the
engine is hot can cause extremely hot oil to
spray out of the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for several
minutes before removing the oil ll plug/
dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine.
You must add engine oil before starting the generator
for the rst time. See Checking Engine Oil and Adding
Engine Oil on page 24 for instructions on checking
engine oil level and the procedure for adding engine oil.
NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped.
Attempting to start the engine can damage engine components.
The owner of the generator is responsible to ensure the proper oil
level is maintained during the operation of the generator. Failure to
maintain the proper oil level can result in engine damage.
NOTICE
During the rst ve hours of operating the generator make sure to
not exceed 50% of the rated running watts until the unit is broken
in properly. Make sure to vary to load occasionally to allow stator
windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also help seat
piston rings. Check oil more often during the rst couple times of
operating the generator.
NOTICE
Weather will aect engine oil performance. Change the type of
engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
OPERATION
PROGRAMMING THE GENERATOR FOR
REMOTE START
NOTICE
The key fob included with the generator should come
already paired with the unit. If it does not you can
follow the directions below to reconnect. If your unit
was shipped without a key fob please contact our
customer support team.
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.
