Instructions / Assembly

Move Generator to
Safe Operating Location
1. Move generator outside to a flat, level surface, in an area
that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you
in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Operate
ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents. Install
carbon monoxide alarms. DO NOT run this product inside homes
or garages, even if using fans or opening doors and windows.
Direct exhaust AWAY from windows, doors, and vents.

2. To reduce the risk of exhaust heat or exhaust gases igniting
nearby combustible material, keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m)
clearance on all sides of generator, including overhead.
Start Generator
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface. Disconnect all electrical
loads from the generator.
2. Turn the fuel valve (E) to ON (I) position.

7. If engine does not start, refer to operator’s manual for detailed
starting instructions.
Plug in Items to be Powered
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
2. Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for
operation.
3. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC (H and K), single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
8
4. Push-to-reset circuit breakers (J) is provided to protect the
generator against electrical overload.
8
NOTICE When plugging into the 120 Volt duplex receptacles
(H), plug items to be powered in sequence as shown (3500 Watt
ONLY).
8
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. Refer
to Do Not Overload Generator section of Operator’s Manual.
Shut Down Generator
1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Push engine switch (G) to OFF (0) position.
8
4. Move fuel valve (E) to OFF (0) position.

Add Engine Oil and Fuel
NOTICE Be sure you have attached wheels and support leg (if
equipped) prior to this step.
NOTICE You MUST properly fill engine with oil before attempting
to start generator.
NOTICE DO NOT use unapproved fuel such as E15 and E85.
DO NOT mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick (
).
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of provided oil
bottle into oil fill opening to the Full mark (A) on dipstick.
4. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.
5. Clean area around fuel cap (
), remove cap.
3
6. Slowly add unleaded gasoline (B) to fuel tank (C). Be careful
not to fill above the baffle (D). This allows adequate space for
fuel expansion as shown.

WARNING Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in
death or serious injury. DO NOT operate
under wet conditions.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could
cause burns, fire or explosion resulting
in death or serious injury. Turn generator
engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Let spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine. Always allow space for fuel
expansion.
WARNING Hot exhaust and reflective exhaust
gases could cause fires resulting in death
or serious injury. Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5
