Fuel Safety
A DANGER
PETROL AND PETROL VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Petrol and petrol vapors: ­ Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. ­ Petrol can cause a fire or explosion if ignited. ­ Petrol is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite. ­ Petrol is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately
if spilled on skin or clothes. ­ Petrol has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly. ­ Petrol expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the fuel tank to full capacity, as petrol needs room to expand when temperatures rise. ­ In the case of any petroleum petrol fire, flames should never be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created. When adding or removing petrol: DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank. Only fill or drain petrol outdoors in a well- ventilated area. DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the filling station. Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator. DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition. When starting the generator: DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator. Always check that the fuel cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always allow spilled petrol to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.

Always be certain that the generator is resting firmly on flat level ground.

When operating the generator:

DO NOT move, angle or tip the generator during operation.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the fuel tank is empty.

Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the generator:

Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

Do not store generator or petrol near furnaces, water heaters,

or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic

EN

ignitions.

A DANGER
NEVER place a petrol container, petrol tank, LPG cylinder or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream during operation of the engine.

A WARNING
Never use a petrol container, fuel tank, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.

This 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
The first 5 hours of run time are 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 slightly and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.

5. Check engine oil level before every use and add as needed.
OIL DIP STICK
MAX
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking, simply rest it against the top of the port. As a general rule oil is full when it can be seen visually on the middle to upper threads of the port. Do Not angle or tip the generator when adding oil.
NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

Add Fuel
A DANGER
Petrol vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use a petrol container, fuel tank, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged. DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

ASSEMBLY

A WARNING
Pouring petrol too fast through the fuel screen may result in petrol splashing over the generator and operator while filling.

NOTICE

The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blended petrol. When using ethanol-petrol blends there are some issues worth noting:

­ Ethanol-petrol blends can absorb more water than petrol alone.

­ These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving

water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and

carburetor. The compromised petrol can be drawn into the

carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or create

potential hazards.

EN

­ If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to work with ethanol-petrol blends.

­ Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended petrol higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored petrol, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.

It is advisable to always shut off the petrol supply and run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage instructions for extended non-use.

4. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
A CAUTION
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank. DO NOT mix oil and petrol, this is a four stroke engine with separate oil and petrol. DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for petrol expansion. DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the pump. Use an approved fuel container to transfer the petrol to the generator. DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors, in garages, in sheds or in any out building. DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot, always allow engine to cool minimum 30 mins before refueling.

CO Shield® – Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Auto-shutoff System
The CO ShieldTM technology monitors the accumulation of poisonous CO gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings and exhaust pointed away from people and buildings.
If misused and operated in a location that results in the accumulation of CO inside an enclosed or partially enclosed space, for example a house, garage or a garage with the door partially open, CO Shield will automatically shut off the generator and then illuminate a red LED. Read the action label for what steps to take. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm.

Move the generator to an open, outdoor area and point the exhaust away from people and buildings. Once relocated to a safe area, the generator can be restarted, and the proper electrical connections made. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the location where the generator shut off.
When starting, the red and yellow LED will blink ten (10) times simultaneously to indicate the LED is working.
NOTICE
This blinking does not indicate CO Shield is working, as CO Shield is working at all times the generator is running. Also, the LED will not blink (10) times if the generator was restarted within 1 minute after it was manually shut off. This does not occur if generator shut off from a high CO event.
If CO Shield system experiences a fault and no longer provides protection, the generator is shutoff automatically and the yellow LED light will blink for at least five (5) minutes to notify you of the fault.

CO Shield will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools, or propane heaters used in the area of operation. If another generator is used and the exhaust is pointed at a CO Shield equipped generator, the CO Shield 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.
A WARNING
Tampering with the CO Shield® system could result in a hazardous condition and will void your warranty.
Removing the CO Shield module will not allow the generator to start.

Connecting Electrical Loads
Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 220 Volt AC single phase, 50 Hz electrical loads.
­ DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
­ DO NOT overload the generator.
­ Use only a high quality, insulated, compatible (3-wire or 4-wire) grounded cord set rated equal to or greater (volts and amps) than the receptacle plugging into.
A WARNING
Always remember to plug your appliances directly into the generator and do not plug the generator power cord into any electrical outlet or connect to the circuit breaker panel in your home. Connecting a generator to your home’s electric utility company’s power lines, or to another power source, called `backfeeding’ is a dangerous practice that is illegal in many states and municipalities.
This action if done incorrectly could damage your generator, appliances and could cause serious injury or death to you or a utility worker when attempting to restore power during an outage occurrence in the neighborhood who may then unexpectedly encounter high voltage on the utility line and suffer a fatal shock.
Whether injuries occur or not, if installed incorrectly and not to applicable laws and codes, you may be subject to fines or the utility company may disconnect your home power should this practice be found in your home.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical system, those connections must isolate the generator power from the utility power. You are responsible for ensuring your generator’s electricity does not backfeed into the electric utility power lines. These connections must comply with all applicable laws and codes ­ Consult your local utility company or a qualified electrician to properly install this connection.

OPERATION
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes: 1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same
time. 2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of
power you need to keep your items running. 3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified
in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time. 4. If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower EN the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for continued normal operation.
Power Management Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to watts:
Volts × Amps = Watts 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 get up to
temperature. 3. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position. 4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first. 5. Allow the engine to stabilize. 6. Plug in and turn on the next item. 7. Allow the engine to stabilize. 8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level.

EN

Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio

decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced

approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.

At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due

to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude

issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and

spark plug fouling.

To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.

The part number and recommended altitude range for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table.

In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

Carb. Code High Alt. Jet Part Number

16100Z1E061100A0

16161-Z520110-00A0 16161-Z100110-00A0

Altitude Range 3000ft. (914m) 6000ft. (1829 m)
