OPERATION

Location
DANGER!
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CAN NOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

• Operate portable generator only outdoors, at least 20 ft.(6 m) from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide accumulation.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery backup according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this portable generator inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak or your home’s carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get to fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Install carbon monoxide alarms inside your home. Without you will not realize you are getting sick and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Prevent Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning
Use outdoors at least 20 ft. (6 m) from any home. Point exhaust away from all homes and occupied spaces. Install CO alarms inside your home.

To better educate yourself about all carbon monoxide risks, go to www.takeyourgeneratoroutside.com.
Reduce the Risk of Fire
WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, and structures or damage the fuel tank causing a fire, and resulting in death or serious injury.

• Keep the portable generator at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) from any structure, trees or vegetation over 12 in. (30 cm) in height.
• Select an outdoor site that is dry and protected from the weather. Do not move the portable generator indoors to protect it from the weather.
• Do not locate the portable generator under a deck or other similar structure that may confine heat and airflow.

2, Oil and Gasoline / LPG/ NG
Add Engine Oil We recommend using FIRMAN SAE 10W-30 API SL oil for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils (API SL 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.

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.

2. Clean the area around the oil fill and remove the yellow oil fill cap/dipstick.

3. Wipe the dipstick clean.

4. Using an oil funnel, slowly pour the contents of provided oil bottle into the oil fill opening until the oil reaches the upper limit “H” mark on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Overfilling could cause engine starting problems or engine damage.

5. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten it.

6. Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

Low Oil Shutdown
The portable generator is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level drops below the minimum required level, a sensor will activate an internal switch stopping the engine. If the engine shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if the generator is sitting at an angle. Place the portable generator on an even surface to correct this. If the engine fails to start, the oil level may not be high enough to deactivate the internal low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil to the upper limit (H). Do not operate the engine until oil level issue is corrected. Contact FIRMAN customer service.

Add Gasoline
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.

• Turn the generator engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
• Do Not refuel or move the generator when the engine is running.
• Move the generator outdoors prior to adding or draining fuel Keep fuel away from any ignition sources.
• Do not overfill the tank, allow space for fuel expansion.
• If any fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting the engine
• Check and replace fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings prior to each use if any damage or leaks are found. Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octanes. For high-altitude use, see Operation at High Altitude. Gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol is acceptable.

NOTICE
Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels not described in this manual. Use of unapproved fuels could damage engine and will not be covered under warranty.

1. Clean the area around the fuel fill cap, and remove the cap.

2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the RED fuel level indicator. This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
   

3. Install the fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting the engine.

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 by approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of elevation above sea level. High altitude may cause hard starting, increased fuel consumption and sparkplug fouling. To operate at high altitudes FIRMAN can provide a high-altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting Customer Support.

| 439cc| Altitude
---|---|---
Altitude main jet 1| 3.81E+08| 3000-6000Feet
Altitude main jet 2| 3.81E+08| 6000-8000Feet

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, and fuel consumption and reduce performance.
Operation at High Ambient conditions
Your FIRMAN Power Equipment product is designed and rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to 104°F (40°C). The generator may be operated at temperatures ranging from 5°F(-15°C) to 122°F(50°C) for short periods. If the generator is exposed to temperatures outside this range during storage, the generator should be brought back within this range before operation. When operated above 77°F(25°C) there may be a decrease in power. Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as ambient temperature, altitude, engine conditions, etc.

Connecting LPG/ NG Fuel
WARNING! Liquid Petroleum gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG) are extremely flammable and could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.

• Do not place the LPG/NG sources in the path of the muffler outlet or near any ignition source.
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator all the time. Do not use or store LPG/NG portable sources not in use near the generator or in a building, garage or enclosed area. All LPG/NG supply/ piping lines must be installed by a qualified plumber.
• If you smell gas, close off all gas sources and contact a qualified plumber to inspect and repair the LPG or NG system. Prior to each days first, use spray a soapy water solution on LPG/NG fuel connections to check for leaks. Never use a gas container, LPG/ NG connector hose, LPG cylinder or NG source that appears to be damaged.
• Do not connect or disconnect the LPG/ NG source in an enclosed area. LPG is heavier than air and can accumulate in confined / low spaces if there is a leak.
• NOTICE LPG and NG systems must be installed and used in strict conformance with NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code),
• NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code), and manufacturer’s recommendations, and comply with the authority having jurisdiction requirements. To connect your generator to a large propane tank or Natural Gas Supply, contact your gas equipment company or authority having jurisdiction to assure that you are following all required codes and regulations.

• Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
• Use only DOT LPG cylinders in vapor service with type 1, right-hand ACME threads. Verify the re-qualification date on the cylinder has not expired.
• All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling. The purging process should be done by your propane gas supplier.

Attach the LPG regulator hose assembly (included) to the LPG hose connector (inlet) on the control panel of the generator. Tighten the nut with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench. Remove the safety plug or cap from the LPG cylinder valve. Attach the LPG regulator to the cylinder valve. Do not use a wrench to tighten LPG cylinder nut. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a positive stop. Using a wrench may damage LPG cylinder components.

Attach the NG hose (not included) to NG connector (inlet) on the control panel and the NG Source. We recommend you use a FIRMAN quick connect hose for Natural Gas (NG) connection (This item is not included). Make sure the NG source location and hose used allows the portable generator to be located at least 20 ft (6 m) from any occupied spaces.

Connecting Electrical Loads

This portable generator has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. The voltage is regulated using an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) . Readjusting the AVR will void the warranty. The duplex receptacle is equipped with GFCI protection. The GFCI protects against electric shock that may be caused if you become a path that electricity travels to reach earth. Even with a GFCI, you may feel a shock, but the GFCI cuts power quickly so an average person should not suffer any injury. Manual test GFCI, while the generator is running to verify internal contacts, will function

• Push the test button. The reset button will pop out, which should cut power to the outlet. Press the reset button until it locks in the depressed position.
• If the GFCI does not reset as described do not use the receptacles. Call FIRMAN customer service.
• If GFCI trips while in use, reset and test the outlet. Electric cords laying on the ground with worn insulation may trip the GFCI, only use cords in good condition.

SELF-TEST OPERATION
In addition to the manual test/reset feature the GFCI receptacle tests itself periodically to confirm the GFCI electronics are functional. The indicator light will be solid green when the GFCI is powered from the generator and working correctly. Self-test indications: If the indicator light is solid orange or flashing red a problem may exist. Press the TEST button to trip the GFCI. If unable to reset, replace the GFCI.
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn to result in death or serious injury.

• Damaged or overloaded extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn to result in death or serious injury.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking.
• Do not touch bare wires or receptacles.
• Do not use generators with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• Do not operate a generator in the rain or wet weather.
• Do not run indoors to avoid wet conditions.
• Do not handle the generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• Use the listed transfer switch to prevent back feed by isolating the generator from electric utility workers.

1. Ensure the circuit breaker on the control panel is in the closed (on) position.
2. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
3. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize.
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.

Surge Protection
There is a remote chance that voltage fluctuations may impair the proper functioning of some sensitive electronic equipment. Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances, may use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by the portable generator’s momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent all voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect your sensitive electronic equipment. Install a plug-in surge suppressor on the receptacles feeding your sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come in single or multi-outlet styles. They are designed to protect against short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Stopping the generator

1.  Turn off and remove all electrical loads. Never stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. Never stop the engine by moving the choke to the start position.
   Let the generator run at no-load for one minute to stabilize the internal temperatures of the engine and generator.

2. Turn the main fuel selector switch to the OFF (O) position.

3. Fully close the LPG cylinder knob and NG source valve.

Muffler and Spark Arrester
WARNING! Contact with the muffler area could cause burns resulting in serious injury.

• Do not touch hot parts.
• It is a violation of the California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws, reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52.

Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester

1. Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage.

2. Remove the screws securing the spark arrester in place and remove it from the muffler.

3. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen with a wire brush.

4. Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged. If replacement parts are required, make sure to use only FIRMAN original equipment replacement parts.

5. Position the spark arrester in the muffler and attach to the screws.
   NOTICE Failure to clean or replace the spark arrester may result in decreased engine performance.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Run the generator at least 30 minutes every month.
Make certain that the portable generator is kept clean and dry.
Do not expose the unit to excessive dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapors.
Do not insert any objects through cooling slots.
Before each use inspects underneath the generator for signs of oil or fuel. Clean any accumulated debris. Keep the area around the muffler free from any debris. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt or caked-on oil. Use a damp cloth to clean all exterior surfaces.
Battery Replacement

1. Remove the spark plug boot from spark plug.
2. Remove the nut and bolt from the negative(-) post first, then the positive(+) post.
3. Loosen and remove the wing nuts (A) on the battery holding bracket.
4. Remove the battery and recycle it.
5. Install the new battery with the following specification: 12V sealed lead acid 15AH LXWXH:180X75X165mm(7.09X2.95X6.5inch)
6. Connect the red positive (+) battery cable to the battery first.
7. Connect the black negative (-) battery cable to the battery second.
8. Cover the posts with the boots provided.
9. Install the spark plug boot onto the spark plug.

Battery Charging
The battery powers the starter motor and control module. This portable generator is equipped with an automatic battery charging circuit. The battery will receive charging voltage only when the engine is running. The battery will maintain a proper charge if the portable generator is used on a regular basis (about once every two weeks). If it is used less frequently, the battery should be connected to a trickle charger (not included) or battery maintainer (not included) to keep the battery properly charged. If the battery is not able to start the engine, it can be started manually only in the GAS position by pulling the engine recoil cord. If the battery voltage is extremely low, the charging circuit may not be able to recharge the battery. In this case, the battery must be connected to a standard automotive-style battery charger for re-charging before it can be used.

Long Term Storage
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system components such as the carburetor, fuel hoses or tank during storage. Alcohol- blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to the separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. When the generator set is being stored for more than one month, follow these instructions to avoid engine problems:
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury. Do not store fuel near any ignition sources. When draining fuel move the generator outdoors and use a commercially available non-conductive vacuum siphon. Fuel must be drained into an approved container.

1. Treat any stored fuel with fuel stabilizer.
2. When storing the generator with gasoline in the fuel tank, operate the engine for 5-10 minutes to circulate treated fuel into fuel lines and carburetor before shutdown.
3. There is no need to drain gasoline from the generator fuel tank if a fuel stabilizer is added.
4. FUEL STARVATION: If you elect to drain the fuel tank move the generator outdoors. Once the fuel tank is drained turn the main fuel selector switch to the GAS position. Start and run the portable generator outdoors until the engine stops from lack of gasoline. This will drain the remaining gasoline from the tank, fuel lines, and carburetor.
5. Always turn the main fuel selector switch to the OFF position prior to storage.
6. Allow the portable generator to cool before cleaning and storage.
7. Change oil .
8. Remove the spark plug boot and spark plug. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark plug hole, then slowly pull the recoil starter several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug and attach the spark plug boot. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so no moisture enters the engine cylinder. 9-Cover the portable generator and store in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from any ignition sources. Any damage or hazards caused by using improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not store gasoline from one season to another season.

FIRMAN POWER EQUIPMENT INC. Emission Control System Warranty
CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, US Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) and FIRMAN POWER EQUIPMENT INC.(FIRMAN) are pleased to explain the emissions control systems warranty on your 2020-2021 or later Small Off-Road Engine (“SORE”) and engine powered equipment. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. FIRMAN must warrant the emissions control systems on your SORE and engine-powered equipment for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the failure of the emissions control system. Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission- related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, FIRMAN will repair your SORE and engine powered equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your small off-road engine and engine-powered equipment is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your small off-road engine and engine-powered equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by FIRMAN.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE and engine-powered equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. FIRMAN recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE and engine-powered equipment, but FIRMAN cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the SORE and engine-powered equipment owner, you should however be aware that FIRMAN may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or engine-powered equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine and engine-powered equipment to a FIRMAN distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact FIRMAN at 1-844-347-6261.

FIRMAN Emission Control Defects Warranty Provisions
The warranty period begins on the date the engine/equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. FIRMAN warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is: Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board and US EPA; and Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturers application for certification. The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:

1. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by FIRMAN at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
2. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
3. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by FIRMAN at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided by FIRMAN that are franchised to service the subject engines.

8. Throughout the emissions warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2), FIRMAN will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts
