Chapter 1 — Safety First Playing it safe when working with power equipment is always a good idea. Here are some important precautions to make sure you stay safe. 1.1 Safety while Operating Your Generator Always perform an oil, fuel, and air filter check before starting the engine. • Properly clean and maintain the equipment. • Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and dependable service. • Before operating the generator, read the user manual carefully.
• Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions. • Keep children, pets and machinery with moving parts away during operation. • Do not operate the generator in rain or snow. • Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator. • Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after the engine has been shut down. 1.
• Turn off the engine before performing any maintenance. Otherwise it can cause severe personal injury or death. • Allow the generator set to cool down before performing any maintenance. • Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air. • Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can cause damage to the generator set.

Chapter 3 — Setting Up your EZV series Generator Setup should be done everytime you start up your generator, these quick checks will ensure you get the most out of your generator. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result. Keep away from moving parts while the generator is running.
Gasoline substitutes are not recommended. They may be harmful to the fuel system components. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area where the generator is being refueled or where gasoline is stored. Do not overfill the tank. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Wipe up any spilled gasoline and let the area dry before starting the engine. 3.
Chapter 4 — Using Your EZV series Generator DANGER - CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly or fully enclosed areas.
4.1 Initial Setup of Your Generator We know you're excited to get using your generator. Please be sure to follow the setup, operation, and shut off instructions below thoroughly to ensure the best lifespan for your generator. Steps 1-3 are for the EZV2800 only. If you have an EZV2200 start on Step 4. 1. Setup the Battery: Remove the Battery Access Panel from the unit by unscrewing the screw at the top and releasing the panel. 2.
5. Locate, unscrew, and remove the Oil Dipstick, exposing the internal engine compartment. Be sure not to allow any dust or debris near the engine during this time. 6. Pour in the full contents of the 450 mL oil bottle provided with your unit, or fill to the full mark located on the dipstick. 7. Re-install the Oil Dipstick and fasten tightly. Wipe away any excess oil. For best results, drain and refill the engine oil after the first 20 hrs of use, and every 50 hrs thereafter.
4.2 Operating Your Generator Before using generator, a ground wire must be connected to the ground terminal. The Ground terminal is located on the Front Panel. Before using the ground terminal consult a qualified electrician. 1. Disconnect all devices from the generator. 2. Open the fuel valve: turn the fuel valve from "off" to "on". Make sure the valve is turned all the way on. 3. Turn choke to "closed" position.
5a. (EZV2800 only, for EZV2200 proceed to step 5b) Turn Power switch to "Start" for 5 seconds to start engine. If the engine does not start, the battery may be dead, proceed to step 5b to start the engine. Running the engine charges the battery. 5b. Pull Recoil handle until engine starts. Several pulls may be required until engine starts. Do not release the pull cord at the end of a pull, this will damage the recoil assembly. Bring the pull handle back down to the unit by hand. 6.
4.3 Shutting Off Your Generator 1. Disconnect all devices from the generator. 2. Turn EcoMode switch to "Off". Let generator run with EcoMode off for 2 minutes. 3. Turn Power switch to "Off". 4. Close the fuel valve by turning it to "Off". To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch “OFF”. Always connect the ground terminal at the front panel to the ground (earth) to prevent electrical shock.
4.4 Using an EZV series generator with your Devices After starting your generator you can connect your devices to it. Before starting, make sure that you know what you are able to power with your Generator. Here's how you can find out: Add the watt ratings of all the loads that the generator set will be powering at the same time. Make sure that total wattage will not exceed the generator rating.
1. Connect the positive (red) terminal of the battery to the red (positive) terminal, the 12V 8.3A DC Output Terminal on the front panel of your generator. 2. Connect the negative (black) terminal of the battery to the black (negative) terminal, the 12V 8.3A DC output terminal on the front panel of your generator. DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THESE CONNECTIONS. 3. Insert the DC plug into the DC receptacle. The generator should be running, and with EcoMode off. After insertion EcoMode may be turned on.
Chapter 5 — Maintaining Your EZV series Generator Proper maintenance ensures safe, economical and trouble-free operation. Improper maintenance may cause the generator to malfunction and can lead to serious injuries. Contact Energizer Power Customer Support if you have any maintenance questions. 5.
2. Look and listen for exhaust leaks while the engine is running. Have all the leaks repaired before continuing operation. 3. Check for dirt and debris and clean as necessary . 4. Check the engine oil level and add oil as necessary. Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable and could explode under certain conditions. 5.3 Cleaning The Air-Filter Using gasoline or other flammable solvents can cause a fire or explosion. Do not operate this product without an air filter.
5.4 - Changing the Engine Oil Used motor oil can cause skin irritations if left in long-term contact with skin. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling oil. Do not dispose of used oil in drains or soil. Local service shops provide environmentally-friendly disposal methods. 1. Stop the engine and remove the oil access panel. 2. Place a pan beside the generator. 3.
5.5 - Replacing and Cleaning the Spark Plug Do not rinse spark plug in water. Follow guidelines and be careful not to overtighten the spark plug. Tighten ½ turn when installing a new spark plug. Tighten ¼ turn when re-installing an old spark plug. 1. Unscrew and remove spark plug access panel and screws. 2. Remove ignition coil from spark plug and remove spark plug with spark plug wrench. 3. Inspect the spark plug and clean any dirt from the electrodes with a wire brush.
5.6 - Handling and Storage Handling 1. Turn off the power switch and the fuel valve when transporting the generator set. 2. Do not touch engine until the engine has cooled down. 3. Keep the generator at a level position in order to prevent spillage. Storage Before storing the generator set for an extended period: 1. Ensure that the storage area is free of excess humidity and dust. 2. Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor. 3.
