INTRODUCTION
This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable.
Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the
design of this product, making it easy to maintain and operate.
DANGER:
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be properly
grounded. The nut and ground terminal on the frame must always be used to
connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be
made with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the
lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of
the wire securely to a suitable ground source. The National Electric Code
contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. If
a steel or iron rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a
nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter and be listed
as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8 ft. If a rock
bottom is encountered less than 4 ft. down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be
properly grounded by use of a third wire or be “Double Insulated.” It is
recommended to: 1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs. 2. Use
an extension cord with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends
to ensure continuity of the
ground protection from the generator to the appliance. Check and adhere to all
applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding
specifications. Consult a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to
whether the generator is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator
exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. Never
use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even
when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a
battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel
sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air
RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide
poisoning, which will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
National Electric Code requires generator to be grounded to an approved earth
ground. 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.

ELECTRICAL
GENERATOR CAPACITy
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge
(starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these
simple steps. 1. Select the items you will power at the same time. 2. Total
the continuous (running) watts of these items. This
is the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the items running.
See the wattage reference chart at right. 3. Estimate how many surge
(starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular
saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total
surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest
additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, it is important to
take care when adding electrical loads to the generator. There should be
nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting its engine. The
correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as
follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described
later in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and
attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to
consider surge loads in generator capacity as previously described.
CAUTION:
Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it.

OPERATION
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous
gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing
CO. Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use
a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
DANGER:
Failure to properly ground generator can result in electrocution, especially
if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit. National Electric Code requires
generator to be properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an
electrician for local grounding requirements.
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Always position the generator on a flat firm surface.
CAUTION:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly filled with
lubricant will result in equipment failure.
CHECKING/ADDING LUBRICANT
See Figure .
Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine performance and service life.
For general, all-temperature use, SAE 10W-30 is recommended. Always use a
4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service classification SJ.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will damage the engine and
should not be used. Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove. Wipe dipstick
clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-
thread. Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubri-
cant level should fall between the hatched areas on the dipstick. If level is
low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to the upper portion of
the dipstick. Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer
of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
This generator is designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliances, tools, and motor loads.

OPERATION
CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
See Figure . Remove the fuel cap. Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. below the top of
the fuel neck. Replace and secure the fuel cap.
NOTE: Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
Never use old, stale, or contaminated gasoline, and do not use an oil/gas
mixture. Do not allow dirt or water into the fuel tank.

USING FUEL STABILIzER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding a fuel stabilizer
(not included) extends the usable life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from
forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s
directions for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel. Add stabilizer to fuel
tank, then fill with gasoline following
previous instructions.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer and gasoline can be mixed prior to filling the tank by
using a gas can or other approved fuel container and shaking gently to
combine. Replace and secure the fuel tank cap. Start and run the engine for at
least 5 minutes to allow stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

OXyGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol or an ether compound.
These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet
clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated
fuels to help reduce emissions.
If using an oxygenated fuel, make sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum
octane rating requirements. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm
the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to be
posted on the pump. The following are the EPA approved percentages of
oxygenates:
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline
containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name “Gasohol.” Do not use E85 fuel.
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use gasoline
containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use gasoline
containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it also contains cosolvents
and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more
than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It
may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the generator or your fuel
system.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station
or switch to another brand of gasoline.

grip Fig. 9
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an
oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates stated
previously are not covered under warranty.
CAUTION:
On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant level before each
use of the generator.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures – 10. NOTE: If location of generator is not level, the unit may
not start or may shut down during operation. Unplug all loads from the

Allow lubricant to drain completely. Reinstall the oil drainage bolt and
tighten securely. Refill with lubricant following the instructions in the
Checking/Adding Lubricant section. Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved disposal site. See
your local oil retailer for more information.
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
See Figure 1.
The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits in order to ensure
proper engine operation. To check: Remove the spark plug cap. Clean any dirt
from around base of spark plug. Remove spark plug using wrench (not included).
Inspect spark plug for damage, and clean with a wire
brush before reinstalling. If insulator is cracked or chipped, spark plug
should be replaced.
NOTE: If replacing, use the following recommended spark plug or equivalent:
NGK BPR4ES. Measure plug gap. The correct gap is 0.028-0.031 in. (0.7-0.8 mm).
To widen gap, if necessary, carefully bend the ground (top) electrode. To
lessen gap, gently tap ground electrode on a hard surface. Seat spark plug in
position; thread in by hand to prevent cross-threading. Tighten with wrench to
compress washer. If spark plug is new, use 1/2 turn to compress washer
appropriate amount. If reusing old spark plug, use 1/8 to 1/4 turn for proper
washer compression.
NOTE: An improperly tightened spark plug will become very hot and could damage
the engine.
