IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fuel Safety

 DANGER

GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS) ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors:

– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.

– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.

– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up

immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.

– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential

leaks quickly.

– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished

unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of
fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be
created.

When operating the generator:

DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.

DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position,
the gasoline tank is empty.

other sources of ignition.

Do not store generator or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters,
or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic
ignitions.

 WARNING

Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other
fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged.

– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.

Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline
needs room to expand if temperatures rise.

When adding or removing gasoline:

Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes
before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to
relieve pressure in the tank.

Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the



NOTICE

ASSEMBLY

 CAUTION

The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary and help seat piston rings. After
the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.



NOTICE

Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.



NOTICE

Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break­in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil
will aid in starting in cold ambient <5º C (41º F).

Add Fuel

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of
10% or less by volume. ybc

2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane
rating of 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume.

DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.

Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of
the tank to allow for gasoline expansion.

DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the generator.

DO NOT fill tank indoors.

DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.

DO NOT overfill the tank.

DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.

 WARNING

Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in blow back of gasoline at the operator while filling.



NOTICE

Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are
some issues worth noting:

3. Remove the gasoline cap.

4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of
expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the generator.

5. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than

gasoline alone.

– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a

watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.

– With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can

be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.

– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are

formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.

– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper

gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or
