CO WATCH-GUARD
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Auto Shutoff System
Your Generator is equipped with Carbon Monoxide (CO) WATCH-GUARD detect system
for your protection and safety. This detecting and shutoff system monitors for
the accumulation of poisonous CO gas around the generator produced by engine
exhaust when the generator is running. If the CO sensor detects increasing
levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. Generators are
intended to be used outdoors and far away from occupied buildings, windows,
doors and exhaust pointed away from them.
However, if the generator misused and operated in a location that results in
the accumulation of CO inside an enclosed or partially enclosed space, CO
WATCH- GUARD automatically shuts off the engine and notifies the user of what
has happened and directs the user to read the instruction of CO WATCH-GUARD
Action Label for steps to take.

NOTIFICATIONS: BLINKING RED AND YELLOW LIHGT
There is a CO indicator light on the control panel with two possibilities:
1-Blinking Red Light provides notification that the generator was shutoff due
to an accumulating CO level around the generator. The red light will blink for
at least five minutes after a CO shut off. Automatic shutoff is an indication
generator was improperly located. Move the generator to an open, outdoor area
far from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away. Once relocated to a safe
area, the generator can be restarted. The red light will stop blinking
automatically after 2-5 seconds upon engine re-start. If you start to feel
sick, dizzy, weak, or your homes carbon monoxide alarm sounds while using the
generator, get to fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Page 12
2-Blinking Yellow Light provides notification that a CO WATCH-GUARD fault has
occurred and no longer provides protection. The generator is shutoff
automatically and the yellow light will blink for at least five minutes after
shutoff. Call A-iPower Customer Service
855-888-3598 for repair. Do not use the
generator until the sensor is working properly. The CO WATCH-GUARD must only
be serviced by qualified technician to restore it to original settings.
WARNING
DO NOT modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide Detecting System (CO WATCH-
GUARD). Not following these instructions could result in death or serious
injury due to Carbon Monoxide detecting system malfunction. CO WATCH-GUARD
will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning
sources such as engine powered tools used in the area of operation. If another
generator is used and the exhaust is pointed at a CO WATCH-GUARD equipped
generator, the CO WATCH-GUARD may initiate a shutoff due to rising carbon
monoxide levels. This is not a fault. Hazardous carbon monoxide has been
detected. You must take action to move and direct the equipment to better
dissipate carbon monoxide far away from people or buildings. CO WATCH-GUARD
only monitors when the generator is running. CO WATCH-GUARD DOES NOT replace
carbon monoxide alarms. Tempering with the CO WATCH-GUARD will void your
warranty.
WARNING
Tampering with CO WATCH-GUARD could result in a hazardous condition. Removing
the CO WATCH-GUARD module will not allow the generator to start.

Add Engine Oil
We recommend using SAE 10W-30 APISJ oil for best performance. Other high-
quality detergent oils (APISJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special
additives. Ambient temperature determines the proper oil viscosity for the
engine. Use the chart to select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature
range expected.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled
with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage due to operation with no
oil will void your warranty.

1. Place generator on a flat and level surface. 2. Remove bolts(A) and
maintenance cover(B). 3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick . 4. Using oil funnel,
slowly pour contents of provided
oil bottle into oil fill opening to the “H” mark on dipstick. Be careful do
not overfill. Overfilling with oil could cause the engine to not start or hard
starting. 5. Reinstall oil fill cap dipstick and fully tighten. 6. Oil level
should be checked prior to each use or at least 8 hours of operation. Keep oil
level maintained.
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be 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 and help seat
piston rings.
Low Oil Shutdown The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil
level becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a warning device
or stop the engine. If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle that forces
oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to
start, the oil level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch.
Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.
Add Fuel
DANGER
Fuel and its vapor are extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel in a well
ventilated area. Keep sparks, open flames and other ignition sources away.
Failure to do so will result in death and serious injury.
DANGER
A B
H L
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil
level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.
Do not overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. If fuel spills wait
until it evaporates before starting engine. Failure to do so will result in
death and serious injury.
Fuel must meet these requirements: · Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. · Use
regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine with a minimum 87 octane / 87 AKI (91 RON). Do not use E85 or E15. For
high altitude use, see “Operation at High Altitude”.
Page 14
· DO NOT mix oil in gasoline. · DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate
fuels.
WHEN ADDING FUEL · Fill fuel tank outdoors. · DO NOT overfill tank. Allow
space for fuel
expansion. If the tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and
cause fire or explosion. · If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before
starting engine. · Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources. · Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings
frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary. · DO NOT light a
cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
B
A
1. Remove the fuel cap (A) slowly. 2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank.
Be careful
not to fill above the red fuel level indicator (B). This allows adequate space
for fuel expansion. 3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine .
NOTICE
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such
as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See the “Long
Term Storage” section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
Operation at High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane gasoline is
acceptable. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately
3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of elevation above sea level. High altitude
may cause hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling. To
operate at high altitudes A-iPower can provide a high altitude carburetor main
jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support.
NOTICE
Operation using an alternative main jet at elevations lower than the
recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower
elevations, the standard main jet supplied must be used. Operating the engine
with the wrong main jet may increase exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and
reduce performance.
Grounding
WARNING
Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric
shock.

OPERATION
Generator Location
WARNING
Make sure you review each warning in order to prevent fire hazard.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains
carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles. They’re designed to
protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Generator
1. Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing parts and for
any damage which may have occurred during shipment.
2. Check oil level and fuel.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, Only use OUTSIDE and far away EVEN IF doors
and windows are open. from windows, doors and vents.
Avoid other generator hazards. READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
DANGER
Never use generator in wet or damp locations. Never expose generator to rain,
snow, water spray or standing water while in use. Protect generator from all
hazardous weather conditions. Moisture, or ice can cause a short circuit or
other malfunction in the electric circuit. Water contact with a power source
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
· Keep area clear of inflammables or other hazardous materials.
· Select a site that is dry, well ventilated and protected from the weather.
· Keep exhaust pipe clear of foreign objects. · Keep generator away from open
flame. · Keep generator on a stable and level surface. · Do not block
generator air vents with paper or
other material. 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.
ON
3. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop
the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
4. Turn the fuel cap vent lever to the “ON” position.
5. Turn the starting dial switch to the “ON” position.
Note: For restarting a warm engine, turn the starting dial switch directly to
the “RUN” position.
Page 16
6. Pull recoil starter slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
7. Turn the starting dial switch to the RUN position.
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury. When starting engine, pull cord slowly
until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. NOTE: Keep
choke knob in “START” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After
first pull, move choke knob to the “RUN” position for up to the next 3 pulls
of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to
start. If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run. Or if unit shuts down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper
oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection
device. If so, oil must be at proper level for engine to start.
Connecting Electrical Loads This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. Before starting the generator, disconnect all loads. Apply load only after generator is running. Voltage is regulated via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct output. Re-adjusting will void warranty. NOTE: When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one receptacle. Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the first five hours of operations).
- Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting. 2. Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in on
position. 3. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is better to attach the item with largest load first.
Low Idle Switch
NOTICE
Always start the generator with LOW IDLE SWITCH on OFF position. Allow the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED to illuminate green before switching LOW IDLE Switch to ON position.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, the LOW IDLE
Switch should be turned OFF.
Page 17

NOTE: LOW IDLE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by adjusting the engine
speed (RPM) to the minimum required for the current load. Turn LOW IDLE Switch
to ON position when powering small appliances with continuous loads such as a
computer or electric light. Turn LOW IDLE Switch to OFF position when powering
large surge loads such as an air conditioner or electric pump. Be certain that
the OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED is illuminated green before turning the switch
to ON position. If no load is present, the generator speed (RPM) will drop to
idle speed. The generator will detect loads as they are applied and increase
engine speed (RPM). To run the generator at maximum power and speed (RPM),
push the LOW IDLE Switch to the OFF position. Stopping the Engine 1. Turn off
and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned
on. Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to stabilize internal
temperatures of the engine and generator.
2. Turn the starting dial switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn the fuel cap vent lever to the “OFF” position.

engine. Check oil level with dipstick. If oil level is between LOW and HIGH
mark on dipstick: 1. DO NOT try to restart the engine. 2. Contact an
Authorized Service Dealer. 3. DO NOT operate engine until oil level is
corrected. If oil level is below LOW mark on dipstick: 1. Add oil to bring
level to HIGH mark. 2. Restart engine and if the engine stops again a low
oil condition may still exist. DO NOT try to restart the engine. 3. Contact
Customer Service. 4. DO NOT operate engine until oil level is corrected.
Do Not Overload Generator
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in
damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices. 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
stabilize. 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.
