OPeRaTION
The fuel selector switch cover is specifically
designed not to slide to either side while a specific
fuel has been selected and the valve is in the “ON”
position. Only when the fuel valves are in the “OFF”
position can the cover slide side to side.

The fuel selector is locked into place once a
“CLICK” sound is made. Only then can a fuel valve
be turned to the vertical position.

Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the
generator is designed specifically to choose between the
fuel source desired, Gas or LPG.
To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to
either the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel
valve of the fuel selected.
The LPG fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch cover.
The gas fuel valve (B) is to the right of the switch cover.

Once a fuel source has been selected, the user must
turn the fuel valve to the vertical position to open the
fuel valve. (1)
To turn a fuel valve to the off position the valve must be
in the horizontal position. (2)
Starting the engine
Gas
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the gas fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
5. Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
6. Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position.
7. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch
to the “START” position. Release as the engine
begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within
five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten
seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
8. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
9. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the
choke lever to the “RUN” position.
LPG
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob.
4. Turn the LPG fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Move the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
6. Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
7. Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position.
8. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch
to the “START” position. Release as the engine
begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within
five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten
seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
9. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly three
or four times until resistance is felt. Next pull the
starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
