START UP

- You may now connect appliances to be powered up and switch on eco mode, if desired.
SHUT DOWN
- Switch off / disconnect any appliances.
- Turn the ignition key to the OFF position & allow the engine to sputter out.

COMMON ISSUES
- Upon initial startup, the engine does not run on its' own and shuts down. -> Start it again (eco throttle OFF) and after it turns over, keep the choke pulled fully out and slowly push in completely over the course of about two minutes. If it bogs down, then pull out the choke and continue this process until the engine runs smoothly with the choke completely in.
- Unit will not turn on with the ignition switch / hear a clicking sound when starting the engine -> Battery may be dead. After completing the first step, instead go to the side of the unit and pull the start rope to turn the engine over.
- Unit bogs down after plugging something in -> Disconnect and power up elsewhere.
- Unit shut down with no additional appliance -> Check fuel gauge on top and add gasoline as needed.
- Oil alert on the front panel -> Level the unit, the oil pan is small and the sensor needs to detect the oil.
- Exhaust blowing white smoke -> Confirm that the choke is off, switch off the unit and check if the air filter is dry, call us if this continues.
