OPERATION
High Altitude Carburetor Kit: Part# 518965
High altitude DF regulator: Part# 518516
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
The 120V/240V selector switch, which gives the user the
ability to double the amperage in the generator for more
demanding applications. The voltage selector switches the
dual 120V AC windings of the generator to produce 120V
or 240V. If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong
L14-30R receptacle, the switch must be in the “240V”
position. The 120V only outlets will not output power when
the Voltage Selector is in the 240V position.
Only change the Voltage Selector Switch with the
generator OFF.
DO NOT
switch the voltage while the
generator is running or powering appliances.
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.
Turn the fuel selector switch fully downward for propane
operation.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in,
DO NOT
exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (2650 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Verify that:
• The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location.
•
The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
•
The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard.
DO NOT
move or tip the
generator during operation.
STARTING THE ENGINE: GASOLINE

Verify that fuel is in the gas tank.
2.
Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to
gasoline operation.
3.
Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position.
Note:
If cold starting, move the choke lever to the ON
position.
4.
Push the Run/Stop switch to the Run position.
5.
Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until you
feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly.
6.
After starting, allow the engine to run for several seconds
then move the Choke lever to the fully OFF position.
STARTING THE ENGINE: PROPANE
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.
