 Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a
vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place
container on the ground to be filled.
 Keep nozzle in contact with portable container while filling.
Manually control the flow of fuel; do NOT use nozzle’s lock-open
device.
 A portable container made of metal or conductive plastic is preferred
because it dissipates charge to ground more readily.
Personal
Protection
1. Hearing can be damaged from prolonged, close-range exposure to the type of noise
produced by this generator. The use of ear plugs or other hearing protection
device is recommended for persons working within 15-20 feet of the running
generator for an extended period of time.
2. Loose or dangling apparel and long hair can become quickly entangled in
moving/rotating parts. Metal jewelry can conduct electricity. Never wear jewelry
or loose-fitting clothing such as neckties, scarves, or long-sleeved or untucked
shirts when starting or adjusting the generator. Tie back and secure hair close

outlets.
 Follow the instructions provided in your engine manual for starting the
engine.
Check output
voltage without
load
Check output voltage before connecting loads to the generator.
WARNING:
The generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the
proper electrical voltage and frequency. Failure to do so could result
in damage to equipment powered by the generator and possible injury
to the individual.
1. Allow running generator to warm up for five minutes. Do not connect any
loads.
2. Use portable voltage meter to check output voltage at the generator’s
outlets/receptacles.
3. Measured voltage should be within the following ranges:
a. 108-132 volts at 120V receptacle(s).
b. 216-264 volts at 240V receptacle(s).
If the output voltage is NOT within the specified range:
1) Adjust the engine speed if possible.
2) If that doesn’t work, re-verify that:
