Operation and Maintenance
Wireless Set Button
The wireless set button allows users to sync remote controls to the generator, enabling setup of up to two remote controls or resetting an existing one. Follow these steps:
- Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
- Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position.
- Open the RL4LED engine housing and push and hold the wireless set button next to the red light for approximately three seconds until the red light turns on.
- Push and release the STOP button on the remote. The red light blinks once to erase the remote program. Repeat for a second remote if applicable.
- Push and release the START button for 2 seconds. The red light blinks once to program the remote. Repeat for a second remote if applicable.

Operation at High Altitude
At high altitudes, lower air density reduces engine power and generator output by approximately 3.2% for every 1000 feet of elevation. This can lead to hard starting, increased fuel consumption, and spark plug fouling. For optimal performance at higher altitudes, a specific high-altitude carburetor main jet may be required. Consult Customer Support for installation instructions and part numbers. The correct main jet selection depends on the carburetor model, identified by a code stamped on its side.
| Carburetor Code | Main Jet | Part Number | Altitude |
| P22-8-H | Standard | 27.131017.01.H | 3500 ft. (1067 m) |
| P22-8-H | Altitude | 27.131017.01.01.H | 3500 ft. (1067 m) |
