SAFETY INFORMATION

Generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator. You can help prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator’s controls, and by observing safe operating procedures.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY

• Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
• Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections.
• Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do not let children operate the generator without parental supervision.

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS

• Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
• lf you run the generator in an areas that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating, provide adequate ventilation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS

• The Generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused.
• Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all electrical components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components which could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect to a building electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the generator.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

STAR AND STOP:
Engine Switch is used to start and stop the engine.
Switch position:
OFF : To Stop the engine.
ON : To run the engine.
START : To start the engine (only for electric start)

RECOIL STARTER

To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
NOTICE :
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.

FUEL VALVE LEVER

The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the fuel valve lever to the OFF position after stopping the engine.

CHOKE ROD

The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever manually. Pull the rod out toward CLOSED to enrich the mixture for cold starting.

GROUND TERMINAL

The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the receptacle.
If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the AC circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again. The circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator AC power ON or OFF.

CONNECTIONS TO BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. A transfer switch, which isolates generator power from utility power, is available through authorized generator dealer.

WARNING!
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.

AC APPLICATIONS

Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
• Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

NOTICE :
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

AC OPERATION

1. Start the engine
2. Switch ON the AC circuit breaker.
3. Plug in the appliance.
   

NOTICE :

• Most motorized appliances require more that rated wattage for startup.
  Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the circuit breaker.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

ENGINE OIL
NOTICE :
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not recommended.

Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface and the engine stopped.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ. Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.
Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the indicated range.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
3. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
   

FUEL

Check the fuel gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.

• Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
  

NOTICE :
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filing your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilling fuel is not covered under warranty.
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life,
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light “Spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.

If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized to manual.

NOTICE :
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.
