Owner's Manual

Power Management
Start engine without anything connected to generator.
When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
output first and the smallest output last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Cold Weather Operation
Under humid conditions where temperatures drop to 40ºF (4ºC) the carburetor and/or crankcase breather system may
begin to freeze. To prevent cold weather performance issues, take the following steps:
1. Replace any old fuel with clean, fresh fuel.
2. Use SAE30 or SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Check oil daily or after every 8 hours of use.
3. Turn fuel valve to the ON position.
4. Ensure generator is serviced according to the maintenance schedule under “Maintenance” section of the manual.
5. Shelter unit from elements.
