Quick generator-related question. In my 320DA Owner's Manual, here are the starting instructions for the generator:
However, STOP/PREHEAT and START/RUN are on the same rocker switch on my panel, with a separate "ON" switch, as shown below:
In the couple of times that I've used the generator, I've simply toggled the "ON" button, then pressed the STOP/PREHEAT for about 5 seconds, then pressed the START/RUN for a couple of seconds until the generator starts. I obviously cannot continue to hold down the STOP/PREHEAT button, as that will quickly shut it off.
I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything bad to the generator. Is there a specific reason to have the extra "ON" toggle button, as opposed to how it's labeled in the Owner's Manual? Just curious as to why there's a discrepancy.
