INTRODUCTION Thank You for Purchasing a PowerSmart® Product. This manual provides information regarding the safe operation and maintenance of this product. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this manual. PowerSmart® reserves the right to change this product and specifications at any time without prior notice. Please keep this manual available to all users during the entire life of the generator.
GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the product, please call (800) 791-9458 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST before using the generator. 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. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
WARNING: This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 1500F (650 C). Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator identifying hot parts of the machine. Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the generator that become hot during use. CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life. Only use generator for its intended purposes. Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
KNOWING YOUR GENERATOR Use the illustrations below to become familiar with the locations and functions of the various components and controls of this generator.
GENERATOR PREPARATION The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call (800) 791-9458 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST for customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its lifespan. Unpacking Unpack the generator and all its parts. Do not discard the carton or any packaging until the generator is completely assembled.
Step 2 - ADD GASOLINE WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline. Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix oil with gasoline. To add gasoline, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. 2. Unscrew fuel cap and set aside.
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 call (800) 791-9458 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST or email: support@amerisuninc.com for customer service. 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.
STARTING THE ENGINE To start the generator, perform the following steps: 1. Unplug all electrical devices from the generator during ignition. Otherwise it will be difficult for the engine to start. 2. Check that the generator is properly grounded (Refer to “GROUND THE GENERATOR”). 3. Check the oil and fuel levels. 4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position. 5. Pull the choke lever out to the “OFF” position. 6. Make sure the Eco-Throttle Switch is in OFF position. 7.
USING THE GENERATOR WARNING: When this generator is used on a building’s wiring system, the generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding electrode.

ECO-THROTTLE SYSTEM With the switch in the ON position, engine speed is automatically lowered when loads are reduced (under 2000W). When appliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load. In the OFF position, the Eco-Throttle system does not operate. Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine to reach normal operating rpm when they are connected to the generator.
CHECKING THE OIL The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 20 fl. oz. Check the oil level of the generator according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule above. The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil. The generator should be checked before each use for proper oil level. This is a critical step for proper engine starting. To check the oil level: 1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. 2. Clean around oil fill.
AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally check that the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt. Refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule page 16. For air cleaner detail: 1. Unhinge the clasps at the top and bottom of the air cleaner cover. 2. Remove the sponge-like element from the casing. 3. Wipe the dirt from inside the empty air cleaner casing. 4. Wash the sponge-like element in household detergent and warm water.
STORAGE & TRANSPORT PROCEDURES CAUTION: Never place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. If the generator is being stored for short periods of time (30 to 60 days), add stabilized fuel to the fuel tank until full. NOTE: Filling the tank reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps reduce deterioration of fuel. Run the engine for 2 – 3 minutes allowing stabilized fuel mixture to circulate through the carburetor.
