CAUTION
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.
NOTE
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. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended oil change interval.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit the engine needs.

WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
NOTE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are some issues worth noting:

• Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than gasoline alone.
• These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
• With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
• There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are formulated to work with ethanol blend fuels.
• Any damages or hazards caused by using improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/ or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacture’s warranty.

It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than 30 days.

Generator Maintenance
Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from the generator.
Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean and unobstructed.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and damage the generator windings.

Battery Maintenance/Storage
The battery will receive charge when the engine is running. Remember to run the generator once a month for 20-30 minutes to charge the battery. A charged battery will allow you to start the generator us–ing the electric start button during your next time of need. If the battery is out of charge, you may start the generator using the recoil starter. If the generator is not used for a long period, it is recommended to disconnect the negative (black) battery cable from the battery to protect it from losing charge. After disconnecting the cable, cover the free end with an insulator such as electrical tape.
Batteries can be damaged or suffer a shortened lifespan if they are charged in very cold temperatures (below freezing). If you expect to store the generator in temperatures below 25°F (-5°C), we recommend removing the battery from the generator and storing it indoors. If using the generator in temperatures below 25°F (-5°C), we recommend running the generator for at least 15 minutes with the battery removed, or the negative (black) battery cable disconnected and covered with an insulator such as electrical tape, and then connecting the battery. This will allow the inside of the generator to warm up, and will greatly reduce the chance of damage to the battery.
WARNING
It is best to store the battery indoors at room temperature. Do not store your battery outside in the winter, where temperatures may go below 25°F (-5°C), or in any location where temperatures may exceed 104°F (40°C), such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the summer.
To reinstall/replace the battery:

1. Turn the knob from lock to open.Then remove the maintenance cover.Loosen the nylon belt and pull out the battery
2. Disconnect negative (-) battery terminal first (black cable).
3. Disconnect positive (+) battery terminal second (red cable).
4. Replace with an identical new battery
5. Connect the positive (+) battery terminal (red cable) first. Slide rubber boot over the positive terminal.
6. Connect the negative (-) battery terminal (black cable) sec, ond. Slide rubber boot over the negative terminal.
7. Return the battery into position and use the nylon belt to fasten the battery.
8. Reinstall and secure the battery access cover.

NOTE: Always recycle used batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Contact your local solid waste collection site or recycling facility to obtain information on local recycling processes.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Transporting the Generator
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following:

1. Tighten the fuel cap.
2. Flip the engine switch to the OFF position.
3. Drain the fuel tank if possible.
4. Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down – doing so could damage the internal components of the generator and make it difficult to start.

WARNING
Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.
Storing the Generator
Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator.We highly recommend running your generator once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Plug in a small load in to ensure there is proper power output.
For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days):

• Drain the carburetor.
• Disconnect the negative lead from the battery.
• Add fuel stabilizer: Follow the suggested portions and instructions of your preferred stabilizer. Run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the gasoline and circulate through the carburetor, and then top off with fuel. Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps fight deterioration of fuel.a small load in to ensure there is proper power output.

For Extended Periods (Over 60 Days):

• Disconnect the negative lead from the battery.
• Drain the fuel tank and carburetor.Never store generator with fuel in the tank for more than two months.
• Change the engine oil .

WARNING
Store the generator upright in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open flames,sparks or pilot lights.
