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.
CO WATCH-GUARD ACTION LABEL AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF – YOU MUST:
- MOVE GENERATOR TO AN OPEN, OUTDOOR AREA.
- POINT EXHAUST AWAY.
- DON’T RUN GENERATOR IN ENCLOSED AREAA (E.G. NOT IN HOUSE OR GARAGE).
- MOVE TO FRESH AIR.
- GET MEDICAL HELP IF SICK, DIZZY OR WEAK.
WARNING:
TAMPERING WITH CO WATCH-GUARD COULD RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
NOTIFICATIONS: BLINKING RED AND YELLOW LIHGT
There is a CO indicator light on the control panel with two possibilities:
-
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. -
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.
- Place generator on a flat and level surface.
- Loosen the bolts and remove the maintenance cover.
- Remove oil fill cap/dipstick .
- 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.
- Reinstall oil fill cap dipstick and fully tighten.
- Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
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.
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
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”. -
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.
-
Remove the fuel cap (A) slowly.
-
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. -
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.
Connecting to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections to your home’s electrical system must use a listed transfer switch
installed by a licensed electrician. The connection must isolate the generator
power from the utility power and comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
OPERATION
Generator Location
WARNING
Make sure you review each warning in order to prevent fire hazard.
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use
inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE
and far away 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.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles. They’re designed to
protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Generator
-
Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred during shipment.
-
Check oil level and fuel.
-
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on. -
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.
-
Pull recoil starter slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
-
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.
- Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in on position.
- 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.
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
-
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. -
Turn the starting dial switch to the OFF position.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which could cause

Parallel Operation (2 x GXS4301i Models)
WARNING
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
-
Align the two inverters on a firm, flat and level surface at a minimum 20 inch apart.
WARNING
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat from one generator discolors or melt the plastic shell on other generator. -
