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.
Page 13

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.
The national electrical requires your generator must be connected properly to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. There may be Federal or State regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction. This generator is not intended to be used at a construction site or similar activity as defined by NFPA 70-2020 (NEC) section 590.6.

· 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).

1. 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

ON

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.
OFF

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury. DO NOT stop engine by moving choke control to “START” position.
NOTE: If the engine will not be used for a period of two weeks or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and fuel storage.
Low Oil Shutdown
If the engine oil drops below a preset level, an oil switch will stop the 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. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

Parallel Operation (2 x GXS2300i Models)
WARNING

2. Both generators to be turned off and all electrical loads disconnected before paralleling operation.

Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is running. Do not parallel more than two generators. Use only AIPOWER generators for paralleling.

NOTICE
Paralleling this generator to a generator that is not compatible can cause a low voltage output that can damage tools and appliances powered by the generator. Do not connect or disconnect parallel cables while the generator is running to avoid damage. Parallel operation gives you the ability to link this generator to a compatible AIPOWER generator for combined running and starting power output. Use only the AIPOWER approved cables for parallel operation. For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be removed.
NOTE: Only connect two identical (same model) generators together for parallel operation.
Set up and Operation 1. Align the two inverters on a firm, flat and level
surface at a minimum 20 inch apart.

3. Make sure the LOW IDLE switch is in the OFF position on both generators.
4. The parallel operation outlets allow you to connect two AIPOWER generators to increase the total available electrical power. The AIPOWER Parallel Operation Kit can be purchased. Follow the instructions included with your parallel operation kit for proper installation and operation.

WARNING
