SAFETY SYMBOLS The purpose of following safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers.
GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. A generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison 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, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT 1. Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Only use a generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors and vents. 2. Do not smoke near the generator. 3. Do not operate near open flame, heat, or flammable materials.
GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS GENERATOR OPERATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Only use the generator for its intended purposes. Modifying or using the generator for operations for which it was not designed may cause hazards and personal injury. Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets). Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit can handle. This could damage the generator and/or connected electrical devices.

PARALLEL OPERATION The parallel operation outlets (Fig. 2) allow you to connect two our generators to increase the total available electrical power. The load plugs can now be plugged into the AC sockets. Ensure that the load is split between the 2 sockets, DO NOT OVERLOAD THE SOCKET WITH MORE THAN 15 AMPS OR 3600 . CIRCUIT BREAKERS The circuit breakers (Fig. 3) protect the individual AC and DC circuits. The AC circuit breaker will activate when the AC outlets exceed.
For subsequent operation, the oil level should be checked before each use, or after every 8 hours of operation. The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will NOT start without a sufficient amount of oil. To check oil level (before every subsequent start): 1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the engine is OFF before adding or checking oil. 2. Open the oil access cover. Remove and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. 3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill without screwing it in.
To add petrol , follow these steps: 1. Make sure the generator is shut OFF and on a level surface. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 8) and set it aside. The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew. Fuel Cap 2. Slowly add unleaded petrol to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you do so, petrol will expand and spill during use, even with the fuel cap in place. Fig. 8 3. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled petrol with a dry cloth.
STARTING THE GENERATOR Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Preparation” section of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual, please contact your authorized service center DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO.
Before starting the generator: 1. Verify that the generator is outside on a dry, level surface. Allow at least two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator. 2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see “GROUND THE GENERATOR”). 3. Check there is sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (see “ADD/CHECK OIL”). 4. Make sure there is sufficient level of petrol in the fuel tank. Add fuel if necessary (see “ADD/CHECK FUEL”). 5.
One-Button Start: 3-1. Turn the MAIN switch to the “ON” position (Fig. 16). 3-2. Hold down the ENGINE START/STOP switch for 3 seconds (Fig. 17). NOTE: If the engine does not start, release the switch and try again. Keeping the switch in the START position too long can damage the starter. Remote Start: 3-1. Turn the MAIN switch to the “ON” position (Fig. 16). 3-2. Hold down the REMOTE START switch for 3 seconds (Fig. 17). NOTE: If the engine does not start, release the switch and try again.
SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE Inspect and clean the spark arrestor every 100 hours of operation. The spark arrester is located outside the muffler, which gets very hot during operation. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester. To inspect and clean the spark arrester: 1. Remove the two screws, and remove the tail pipe and spark arrester. 2. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.
7. Once the fuel has drained, ghten the drain screw with the screwdriver. NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before storing the generator for long periods of time. 8. Reinstall the service panel. DRAINING/CHANGING OIL Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil MORE OFTEN if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt.
9. Reinstall the oil dipstick and tighten it securely. Wipe clean any oil spillage and reinstall the oil access cover. TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following: 1. Tighten the fuel cap and turn the vacuum relief valve to “OFF”. 2. Set the engine switch to “OFF”. 3. Drain the fuel tank if possible. 4. Keep the generator upright.
STORING THE GENERATOR Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings. Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly recommend running your generator once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Plug in a small load in to ensure there is proper power output. For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days): • Drain the carburetor.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE ENGINE WILL NOT START Possible Cause Solution Battery not charged. Charge battery. Engine switch is in the OFF position. Turn engine switch to the ON position. No fuel. Fill fuel tank. Stale petrol or water in petrol. Drain entire system and refill with fresh fuel. Engine oil level is low. Engine is equipped with Low Oil Shutoff. If engine oil level is low, it must be filled before unit will start. Check engine oil level and fill, if necessary.
