How to Refuel Generator After Shutdown

If the unit has shut down unexpectedly, switch the main breaker into the off position. This how-to-video depicts the steps needed to be made to refuel the unit and make sure that it is up and running efficiently once again!

When you suspect insufficient fuel, check the fuel gauge on the control panel with the key in the run position.

Once you have determined lack of fuel as the shutdown, turn the key to the off position. Refuel the unit by accessing the fuel port located on the curb side of the generator.

Upon the completion of fueling, turn the key to the run position and the toggle switch to manual. Leave on up to 10 minutes for it to fully purge the air. When the time has expired, turn the key to the start position to see if the unit is sufficiently primed for startup.

This attempt could acquire several cycles. If necessary, crank the starter for 10 seconds and then wait 10 seconds to protect the start before cranking again.

When the engine is fully operating, allow it to run for 3-5 minutes to complete the purging process of any excess air within the system. Once the unit is running smoothly, turn the main breaker into the on position.
