WARNING
Failing to correct problem(s) before the operation could result in property damage, serious injury or even death. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter. DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation. Use the generator only for the intended use. If you have questions about intended use, ask your local dealer.

Engine Oil
Place the engine on a level surface with engine stopped. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinstall dipstick into tube; rest on oil fill neck, DO NOT thread cap into tube. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. Level should be within the upper limit and lower limit range on the dipstick. Fill to the upper limit (marked with “H”) of the dipstick with the recommended oil if the oil level is low. Reinstall and fully tighten the dipstick. Refer to add oil instruction in the MAINTENANCE section for more information.Oil Capacity (rated): See parameters.

• WARNING: Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil recommended in the Maintenance section of this manual.
• WARNING: This engine is not filled with oil at the factory. Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil may result in engine damage and void your warranty.
• CAUTION: Operate generator only on level surfaces. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor (applicable types) that will automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls below the safe limit. To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, fill to the upper limit and check the oil level regularly.

Engine Fuel

With the engine stopped, check the fuel level gauge. Refill the fuel tank if necessary. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Always wipe up any spilled fuel. Be sure not to fill above the upper limit mark. Always allow room for fuel expansion.

DANGER:
Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit. Overfill will results in engine die or damage the carbon canister (if equipped) and void your warranty.

DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely explosive. Keep flammable items away while handling gasoline. Fill fuel tank outdoors and in a well-ventilated area with the generator stopped. Always wipe off spilled fuel and wait until the fuel has dried before starting the generator.

DO NOT operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. DO NOT store fuel or other flammable materials nearby. Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this generator. Keep a fire extinguisher handy and be prepared if a fire starts. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to the separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the instructions given in the “Storage” section. Gasoline/Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved. Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not warrantable.

• CAUTION: To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to ensure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from the previous season.
• CAUTION: Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Allow the generator to cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.

Electrical devices
Disconnect all electrical devices from the generator and switch off the AC circuit breaker before starting the engine. The generator may be hard to start with electrical devices.

Grounding
The generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground. It helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or in connected electrical devices, especially when the unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

DANGER of Electrical Shock Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.

A ground terminal on the frame of the generator has been provided on the generator end. For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge (4 mm2 ) copper wire between the generator ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected to approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician for grounding requirements in your area.

Starting the engine

1. Perform operating checklist.
2. Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position.
3. Turn off AC breaker protector.
4. Pull the choke valve switch to the “CLOSE” position.
5. Electric start:
   Turn and keep the key to the “START” position till the engine is started. After the engine is started, release the key to return to the “RUN” position. Manual start: Turn the switch to the “RUN” position. The switch button according to the open position, and then seize the starter handle and slow pulling until there is a sense of resistance so far, and quickly pull to start.

WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. An unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration, broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains. If the electric starter fails to start the engine, immediately turn off the starter. Don’t attempt to restart the engine before the failure cause is identified. Don’t restart the engine by replacement of other storage batteries without authorization.

CAUTION
If the engine fails to start after an attempt for 3 times or flames out after starting, inspect and ensure that the generator is placed in a horizontal surface and enough engine oil is injected. During starting, don’t keep the starting switch to the “start” position for more than 5 sec, otherwise, it is possible to damage the motor. If the unit fails to start within first time, restart after about 1 sec. After the unit is used for a period, if the starting speed of the motor falls, please replace the battery. During the operation of the unit, the battery supplies power for the solenoid valve of the carburetor. For this, when the unit is turned off, make sure that the starting switch is in the “OFF” position and otherwise the storage battery voltage is reduced due to the operating solenoid valve of the carburetor, acting on starting for next time. If the engine is equipped with an engine oil alarm, it is possible to prevent engine start when the engine oil in the crankcase is lower than the minimum level. During running-in, routinely inspect the engine oil. See maintenance section for recommended maint. period.

When the engine operates stably, pull the choke valve to the “OPEN” position.

The generator motor may be normally loaded.

WARNING: Connect the output terminal of the generator with the electric equipment. Don’t start or stop the engine when the electric equipment is in “ON” status.

VFT meter (If applicable): The VFT meter can be used for displaying voltage, frequency (hertz), run time, and total run time as applicable (Display mode depends on the configuration). The LCD displays each mode by pressing the button below the display. The display meter sets as either automatic switching mode or manual operation mode. In the manual state, press MODE BUTTON for mode switching; But in automatic mode, MODE BUTTON is used for reset (operate cautiously when necessary

Note: If the display value is less than 100, the numeric display will be accurate to one decimal place. If the operation time is 100 hours or greater, the display will be “101”,”100″ and so on.

Total run time
Total run time of the generator since the first operation (display mode depends on the configuration)

1. The display value is accurate to one decimal place
2. The display value shows as an integer.

Connection to Electrical Devices

DANGER Ιn order to reduce the risk of electrical shock:

• DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, or barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

CAUTION: If the current of a single load is higher than the maximum withstanding current of single socket, please connect the load with the terminal.

1. Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
2. Make sure the electrical devices in “OFF” position. and the load current is not higher than the maximum withstanding current of single socket.
3. Turn the AC breaker protector to the “ON” position

Ιf connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from the generator.

Bearing capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the electrical devices you will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for our purposes.

1. Select the electrical devices you will power at the same time.
2. The amount of power you need to run all the devices is the total rated (running) watts of these items.
3. Identify 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 electrical device(s) with the highest additional surge.
