Greetings!

I am having problems getting my generator started. It is flashing a 32 code, low cranking power. I believe I may need new house batteries. In the meantime, I need to run my air conditioning!

Can I jump start it with a jumper box? Where should I hook it up, at the house batteries under my steps or directly to the generator? How?

Any and all help appreciated.

thanks!

With one small difference I have done.. The difference. Your Generator is smaller than my 5500. .If it worked for me it should work for you.

Procedure.

When I open the geneerator access panel (So I can reset a breaker or use the "on board" Start/stop switch) I see a bolt with a RED RUBBER cap on, in my case, the left.. This is labeled +12V.
This is where I hook the RED lead (hook it up first)

Black lead goes to any metal portion of the generator frame.

PRess and hold STOP as per manual.. When light comes on hold a bit longer (you should hear fuel pump clatter) then press START to .. Well you know what happens.

Remain connected for one full minute

NOTE: If you can, Disconnect house batteries (if they are low) First.
