SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY DEFINITIONS The words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE are used throughout this manual to highlight important information. Make sure that the meanings of this safety information is known to all who operate, perform maintenance on, or are near the generator. This safety alert symbol appears with most safety statements. It means attention, become alert, your safety is involved! Please read and abide by the message that follows the safety alerts symbol.
SAFETY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE Install battery-powered carbon monoxide detectors or plug-in carbon monoxide detectors with battery back-up in living areas. Fire and electrocution hazard. Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless the generator and transfer switch have been properly installed and the electrical output has been verified by a qualified electrician.
SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FUEL SAFETY • Never use the generator to power medical support equipment. • Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline. • Do not operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. • Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when filling. • Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
SAFETY LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE) Fire and explosion hazard. Never use a gas container, LPG/propane connector hose, LPG/propane tank or any other fuel item that appears to be damaged. Fire and explosion hazard. Only use approved LPG/ propane tanks with an Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) valve. Always keep the tank in a vertical position with the valve on top and placed at ground level on a flat surface. Do not allow tanks to be near any heat source.

ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY CARTON CONTENTS Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the generator. 1. Carefully open the carton. 2. Remove and save the carton contents. 3. Remove and discard the packing tray. 4. Unfold the top of the plastic bag enclosing the generator. 5. Carefully cut the vertical corners of the carton to access the generator. INITIAL OIL FILL NOTICE THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL.
ASSEMBLY FUEL FILLING THE FUEL TANK Fire and explosion hazard. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, propane connector hose, propane tanks, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged. Fire and explosion hazard. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill only to the red fill ring located in the in-tank fuel screen filter. Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine causing a fire or explosion hazard. Fire and explosion hazard. Never refuel the generator while the engine is running.
ASSEMBLY CONNECT AN LPG/PROPANE TANK NOTICE • The LPG/propane tank can be of any capacity but the tank must conform to the standard as listed in Fuel Safety section. • Propane tanks that use liquid withdrawal system can not be used on these models. • Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not expired. • Do not use included LPG/propane hose for any other appliances. NOTICE • All new tanks must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling.
OPERATION OPERATION GENERATOR LOCATION Read and understand all safety information before starting the generator. DANGER Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Asphyxiation hazard. Place the generator in a wellventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
OPERATION High Altitude Carburetor Kit Part# 518957 High Altitude DF Regulator: Part# 518043-1 BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR Verify that: Note: You must purchase both the Dual Fuel Regulator and Carburetor Kit for proper high altitude operation. • The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location. FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH • The engine is filled with oil. Position the fuel selector switch on the front control panel to the desired fuel choice.
OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE: PROPANE PROPANE TO GASOLINE 1. Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position. Fire and explosion hazard. Always turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position if not running the generator on propane. 1. Make sure the LPG/propane hose is correctly connected to the generator and propane tank. 2. Turn the fuel selector switch to propane operation. 2. Turn the fuel selector switch to gasoline operation. 3. Turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position.
OPERATION GENERATOR CAPACITY POWER MANAGEMENT NOTICE Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. The total power requirements (Volts x Amps = Watts) of all appliances connected must be considered.
OPERATION TRANSPORTING Asphyxiation hazard. When operating the generator with extension cords, make sure the generator is located in an open, outdoor area, far away from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away. Fire and electrocution hazard. Never use worn or damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death or serious injury.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT PARTS Accidental start-up. Disconnect the spark plug boot from the spark plug when performing maintenance on the generator. Description Part Number Oil drain plug crush washer 94007 Air filter Spark arrestor Spark plug MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend the service life of the generator. Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first.
MAINTENANCE 3. Remove the foam air filter and wash it by submerging the element in a solution of household detergent soap and warm water. Slowly squeeze the foam to thoroughly clean. NOTICE DO NOT twist or tear the foam air filter element during cleaning or drying. Only apply slow but firm squeezing action. Check the engine oil level before each use or every 8 hours of operation. 1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow the engine to cool for several minutes. 2.
MAINTENANCE 4. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the oil drain bolt and allow the oil the to drain. 6. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a wire-type feeler gauge. If necessary, correct the gap by carefully bending the side electrode. Spark plug gap: 0.024 – 0.032 in. (0.60 – 0.80 mm) 5. Install the oil drain bolt and tighten securely. 7. Carefully install the spark plug finger tight, then tighten as additional 3/8 to 1/2 turn with the spark plug wrench.
MAINTENANCE STORAGE Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free operation and generator longevity. NOTICE Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate, causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of gasoline.
MAINTENANCE DRAINING THE FUEL TANK If storing the generator for longer than six months, drain the fuel tank to prevent fuel separation, deterioration, and deposits in the fuel system. 1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap. Remove the fuel screen filter by slightly compressing it while removing it from the tank. 2. Using a commercially available gasoline hand pump (not included), siphon the gasoline from the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. DO NOT use an electric pump. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Engine will not start Engine starts, then shuts down Engine lacks power Engine runs rough or bogs when load applied No power at AC receptacles POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Out of fuel. Refuel. Bad fuel, generator stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline. Drain the fuel tank. Refuel with fresh gasoline. Dirty air filter. Clean the air filter. Low engine oil level stopped generator. Check engine oil level.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Frost on the propane tank or regulator Propane fuel smell Poor performance or engine stalling on Propane POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION If the temperature of the propane tank drops below the dew point, condensation on the tank may turn to frost or ice. This typically occurs in humid conditions. Providing all the propane fuel handling equipment is functioning normally, no correction is needed. The Propane tank is not equipped with an Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD).
