2. Selecting the Fuel Source: Rotate the fuel selector switch to GASOLINE for gasoline, PROPANE for propane, or NATURAL GAS for natural gas. Open the fuel valve or cylinder valve accordingly.
3. Starting Procedure: Make sure all loads are disconnected from the generator and select a fuel source. Push the battery switch to the ON position and follow the instructions for manual start, remote start, or push button start depending on your generator model. Ensure breakers are ON and connect loads to the control panel receptacles.
4. Shutdown Procedure: Make sure all loads are disconnected from the generator. Turn the fuel selector switch to FUEL OFF and stop the flow of fuel by closing the fuel valve, cylinder valve, or the valve on the natural gas hose. Press and hold the engine START/STOP button or the stop button on the key fob for one second to stop the generator. Push the battery switch to the OFF position.
