Asphyxiation Hazard Electric Shock Hazard Fire Hazard Explosion Hazard Hot Surface. Do Not Touch the Surface. Burn Hazard Moving Parts Hazard Kickback Operator’s Manual GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors and vents. Avoid other generator hazards.
CORRECT USAGE Example location to reduce risk of carbon monoxide poisoning • Operate generators outside and at least 20 feet away from any structure with exhaust pointed away from doors and windows.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go which could cause broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury. • When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. • NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. Fuel Safety DANGER Gasoline, gasoline vapor, propane/LPG and NG are highly flammable and explosive.
• Store Fuel in a container approved for gasoline. • Store any containers containing gasoline or propane/LPG outdoor in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition. DANGER DANGER Gasoline, gasoline vapor, propane/LPG and NG are highly flammable and explosive. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG/NG connector hose, propane/LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged. Failure to do so will result in death and serious injury.
WARNING WARNING Starter and other rotating parts could entangle hands, hair, clothing, or accessories. Keep away from rotating parts, failure to do so could result in death or serious injury. Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury. Contact with muffler area could cause burns resulting in serious injury. • DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that could be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
• Shut off generator if: -Electrical output is lost. -Equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames. -Unit vibrates excessively. WARNING Medical and Life Support Uses. • In case of emergency, call 911 immediately. • NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life support appliances. • NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical appliances. • Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in your household depends on electrical equipment to live.
UNPACKING THE GENERATOR • Open carton completly. Remove and verify carton content prior to assembly.

Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine conditions, etc. Maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level, and will also decrease about 1% for each 10°F(6°C) above 60°F( 16°C) ambient temperature. CO WATCH-GUARD Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Auto Shutoff System Your Generator is equipped with Carbon Monoxide (CO) WATCH-GUARD detect system for your protection and safety.
sensor is working properly. The CO WATCH-GUARD must only be serviced by qualified technician to restore it to original settings. WARNING DO NOT modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide Detecting System (CO WATCH-GUARD). Not following these instructions could result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide detecting system malfunction. CO WATCH-GUARD will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools used in the area of operation.
Add Engine Oil We recommend using SAE 10W-30 APISJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils (APISJ 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 The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a warning device or stop the engine.
A B 1. Remove the gasoline cap (A) slowly. 2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to gasoline tank. Be careful not to fill above the red fuel level indicator (B). This allows adequate space for fuel expansion. 3. Install gasoline cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine or wipe the spilled gasoline. • It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.
5 . Open valve on propane LPG cylinder and check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a fitting, then turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve back on and recheck the fitting with the soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak is not at a fitting, then do not use the generator and contact customer service.
apply to the intended use of the generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction. This generator is not intended to be used at a construction site or similar activity as defined by NFPA 70-2020 (NEC) section 590.6. • If you smell gas, close off all gas sources and contact a qualified plumber for inspection and repair.
OPERATION Generator Location Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations. WARNING Make sure you review each warning in order to prevent fire hazard. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Regular Maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of your generator. Follow maintenance schedule intervals whichever occurs first according to use. NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more frequent services. Walk-Around Inspection Before starting the engine perform a visual inspection of the unit.
Recommended Engine Oil Type CAUTION 10W-30 5W-30 10W-40 5W-30 Full Synthetic ° F -20 ° C -28.9 0 -17.8 20 -6.7 40 60 4.4 15.6 Ambient temperature 80 26.7 100 37.8 120 48.9 Check the engine oil level before each use or every 8 hours of operation. 1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow the engine to cool for several minutes. 2. With a damp rag, clean around the oil dipstick. 3. Remove the oil dipstick (A). 4. Wipe the dipstick clean, then screw dipstick into filler neck (B).
7. 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. 8. Reinstall the spark plug cap (B). B A Battery Replacement WARNING Burn hazard. The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte) which is highly corrosive and poisonous.
Cleaning the Spark Arrestor 1. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrestor. 2. Loosen the screw (A) to be able to remove clamp (B) and spark arrestor (C). 3. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. 4. Replace the spark arrestor if it is damaged. 5. Position the spark arrestor on the muffler and attach with the screws removed in step 2.
6 - Pull starter recoil several times to distribute oil in cylinder. 7 - Install spark plug. 8 - Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This close valves so moisture cannot enter engine cylinder. Gently release recoil. 9 - Clean the generator and store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. DRAINING THE FLOAT BOWL 1. Turn the fuel tank valve to the OFF position. 2. Locate the drain screw on the bottom of the carburetor float bowl. 3.
