OPERATION

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Normal Operation

During normal operation, use the following steps to stop
your generator:
1. Remove any connected loads from the control
panel receptacles.
2. Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce
and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
3. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position.

During an Emergency

If there is an emergency and the generator must be
stopped quickly, push the engine control switch to the
OFF position immediately.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
USING REMOTE START
Before starting the generator, review
Safety on page 7.
Before attempting to start the generator, verify the
following:
The engine is filled with engine oil (see Checking
Engine Oil – 10KPRO on page 35 and Checking
Engine Oil – 8KPRO on page 36).
The generator is situated in a proper location (see
Location Selection on page 24).
The generator is on a dry surface (see Weather and
Dry Surface on page 24).
All loads are disconnected from the generator (see
No Connected Loads on page 24).
The generator is properly grounded (see Grounding
the Generator on page 24).
The ground fault sensor is working correctly (see
Testing the Ground Fault Sensor on page 46).
DANGER
Never use the generator in a location
that is wet or damp. Never expose the
generator to rain, snow, water spray or
standing water while in use. Protect the
generator from all hazardous weather
conditions. Moisture or ice can cause a
short circuit or other malfunction in the
electrical circuit.

DANGER
Never operate the generator in an
enclosed area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the generator outside and away
from windows, doors and vents.
NOTICE
The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown
switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine will
shut down and will not start until the oil is filled to the
proper level.
Be sure the engine has the proper oil level before
using. Failure to verify that the engine has the proper
oil level could result in engine damage.
Disconnect all loads from the generator before
starting. Failure to verify all loads are disconnected
prior to starting the generator could result in damage
to the connected appliances.
1. Verify the battery is properly installed and both
battery cables are attached (see Installing the
Battery on page 16).
2. Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see
Figure 29 and Figure 30).
