Fuel Safety

DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors:

• Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

• Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.

• Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.

• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.

• Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.

• In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
  This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.

• Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
  Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if temperatures rise.

LPG:

• LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
• LPG is under pressure and can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
• LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while dissipating.
• LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks quickly.
• In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve is turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
• When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type.
• Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
• LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.

When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.
Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.

When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.

When transporting or servicing the generator:
Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, be sure that the LPG cylinder is disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

WARNING

CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the generator as a result of failing to follow these instructions will void your warranty.

NOTICE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
NOTICE
The recommended oil type for typical use is 10W-30 automotive oil.
If running generator in extreme temperatures, refer to the following chart for recommended oil type.

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.

2. Loosen the cover fasteners and remove the maintenance cover.

3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.

4. Using a funnel, add up to 16.9 fl. oz. (500 ml) of oil (included). DO NOT OVERFILL. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and secure maintenance cover.

5. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking.

NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

CAUTION
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.

NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.

NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.

Add Fuel: Gasoline

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

1. Remove the gasoline cap.

2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the generator.

3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.

WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while filling.

NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting:

• Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than  gasoline alone.
• These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
• If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
• Any damages or hazards caused by using improper gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.

It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage instructions for extended non-use.

Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)

1. Confirm the dial is in the OFF position.

2. If using a new propane cylinder, remove the plastic cap from the cylinder valve.

3. Attach the LPG hose assembly (included) to the propane cylinder valve and hand tighten.

4. Remove the rubber boot covering the propane connection port on the inverter.

5. Align the plastic finger on the male hose fitting on the LPG hose assembly with the slot next to the female quick connect coupling on the inverter.

6. Insert the hose fitting into the quick connect coupling and push in until you hear a “click” and the outside collar of the quick connect coupling moves forward.

7. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve back on and recheck the fitting with the soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and contact customer service.

NOTICE

• The LPG hose included with this unit works with standard 20 and 30 pound LPG tanks.
• Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not expired.
• All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling. Used cylinders that have not been plugged or kept closed must also be purged.
• The purging process should be done by an LPG supplier. (cylinders from an exchange supplier should have been purged and filled properly already).
• Always position the cylinder so the connection between the cylinder valve and generator inlet won’t cause sharp bends or kinks in the LPG hose.

CAUTION
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder or hose connections.

CAUTION
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve. Always keep the cylinder in a vertical position with the valve on top and installed at ground level on a flat surface. Cylinders must not be installed near any heat source and should not be exposed to sun, rain, and dust. When transporting and storing, turn off the cylinder valve and generator LPG valve, and disconnect the cylinder. Plug the outlet, usually by a plastic protective cap, if one is available. Keep cylinders away from heat and ventilated when in a vehicle.

WARNING
If there is a strong smell of LPG: Close valve on the cylinder. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. Do not smoke or light a cigarette, or check for leaks using a match, open flame source or lighter. Contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair an LPG system if a leak is found, before using the generator.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.

WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the panel of the generator has been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location). For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

**Neutral Floating***

• Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/ ground of the generator.
• The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
• Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional.

**Neutral Bonded to Frame***

• Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.

• The generator system ground connects lower frame crossmember below the alternator. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.

• See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.

OPERATION

Generator Location

WARNING
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage, basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment, including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, flat or other configuration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls or buildings or in any other location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator or for the proper exit of the
exhaust flow from the muffler system.
DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather conditions such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet conditions could result in serious injury or death due to electrocution.
In some state’s generators may be required to be registered with the local utility company when used at construction sites and may be subject to additional rules and regulations, consult your local municipal authority.
Generators should always be operated on a flat, level surface at all times (even when not in operation).
Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material.
Generators must also have a minimum of 3 feet (91.4 cm) of air flow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate performance cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area. NEVER place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Always carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning generator.
Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or for storage purposes.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in personal injury, damage to the generator and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can become extremely heated and may lead to fire.

Surge Protection

Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.

• Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
  Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
  They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.

NOTICE
Keep the dial in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. If generator does not start after first pull, turn the dial to the gasoline “RUN” position for the next three pulls. Too much choke leads do spark plug fouling and engine flooding. This will cause the engine not to start.

NOTICE
For gasoline starting in cold ambient < 59°F (15°C): The dial must be in “CHOKE” position. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, push the dial in the gasoline “RUN” position.

NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run, make certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold. Starting the

Engine: Propane (LPG)

1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.

2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.

3. Connect LPG hose to generator and LPG cylinder. See “Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)” section of the manual.

4. Fully open the valve on the LPG cylinder.

5. Move the dial to the “CHOKE” position.

6. Pull the recoil cord 2 to 3 times.

7. Turn the dial to the propane “RUN” position.

8. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.

9. Plug in devices.

NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

NOTICE
Accumulation of frost on LPG cylinder and regulators is common during operation and normally is not an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the cylinder to the generator engine it expands. The amount of frost that forms can be affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount of LPG being used, the humidity of the air and other operating conditions.
In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the flow of LPG to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. For example, if the cylinder temperature is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also reduced and may not provide sufficient flow to the engine. This is not an indication of a problem with the generator but only a problem with the flow of LPG from the cylinder. If generator performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.
In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:

• Exchanging fuel cylinders to allow the first cylinder to warm up, repeating as necessary.
• Placing the cylinder at the end of the generator near the handle, where engine fan air flows out from the generator. This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The cylinder should not be placed in the path of the muffler outlet.
• The cylinder can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm water over the top of the cylinder.

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting. Plug in and turn on the desired 240 Volt AC single phase, 50 Hz electrical loads.

• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT overload the generator.

WARNING
Always remember to plug your appliances directly into the generator and do not plug the generator power cord into any electrical outlet or connect to the circuit breaker panel in your home. Connecting a generator to your home’s electric utility company’s power lines, or to another power source, called ‘backfeeding’ is a dangerous practice that is illegal in many states and municipalities.
This action if done incorrectly could damage your generator, appliances and could cause serious injury or death to you or a utility worker when attempting to restore power during an outage occurrence in the neighborhood who may then unexpectedly encounter high voltage on the utility line and suffer a fatal shock.
Whether injuries occur or not, if installed incorrectly and not to applicable laws and codes, you may be subject to fines or the utility company may disconnect your home power should this practice be found in your home.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical system, those connections must isolate the generator power from the utility power. You are responsible for ensuring your generator’s electricity does not backfeed into the electric utility power lines. These connections must comply with all
applicable laws and codes – Consult your local utility company or a qualified electrician to properly install this connection.

Do Not Overload Generator

Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes:

1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of power you need to keep your items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time.

Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to watts:

Volts × Amps = Watts

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:

1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to temperature.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the generator.

• Do not drop or strike unit or place under heavy objects.
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or damage to the generator.

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level.
Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.
At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

(914 m)
100715794| 1829 ft.
(6000 m)

WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.
