IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fuel Safety

 DANGER

PETROL, PETROL VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Petrol and petrol vapors:

– Petrol is highly ﬂammable and explosive.

– Petrol can cause a ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

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

– Petrol is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately

if spilled on skin or clothes.

– Petrol 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.

– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.

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

Propane:

– Propane is highly ﬂammable and explosive.

– Propane is under pressure and can cause a ﬁre or explosion if

ignited.

– Propane is heavier than air and can settle in low places while

dissipating.

– Propane has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential

leaks quickly.

DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the gas station. Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.

DO NOT overﬁll the gasoline tank.

Always keep petrol away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

When starting the generator:

DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.

Always check that the gasoline cap, air ﬁlter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.

Always allow spilled petrol to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.

Always be certain that the generator is resting ﬁrmly on level ground.

When operating the generator:

DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty.

For propane compatible models, check that the LPG cylinder is disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.

Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the generator:

Store away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

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

 DANGER

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

unless by doing so the fuel supply valve is 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 exchanging propane cylinders, check that the cylinder

valve is of the same type.

– Always keep the propane cylinder in an upright position.

– Propane will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any

and all propane away from skin at all times.

When adding or removing petrol:

DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before removing the petrol cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.

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

NEVER place a petrol container, gasoline tank, propane cylinder or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream during operation of the engine.

 WARNING

Never use a petrol container, petrol tank, propane connector hose, propane cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.



NOTICE

Accumulation of frost on LPG cylinder and regulators is common during operation and normally is not an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the cylinder to the generator engine it expands. The amount of frost that forms can be affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount of LPG being used, the humidity of the air and other operating conditions.

In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the ﬂow of LPG to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. For example, if the cylinder temperature is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also reduced and may not provide sufﬁcient ﬂow to the engine. This is not an indication of a problem with the generator but only a problem with the ﬂow of LPG from the cylinder. If generator performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.

In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:

– Exchanging fuel cylinders to allow the ﬁrst cylinder to

warm up, repeating as necessary.

– Placing the cylinder at the end of the generator near the

handle, where engine fan air ﬂows out from the generator. This air is slightly heated by ﬂowing over the engine. The cylinder should not be placed in the path of the mufﬂer outlet.

– The cylinder can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm

water over the top of the cylinder.

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

Plug in and turn on the desired 240 Volt AC single phase,

50 Hz electrical loads.

OPERATION

 WARNING

Always remember to plug your appliances directly into the generator and do not plug the generator power cord into any electrical outlet or connect to the circuit breaker panel in your home. Connecting a generator to your home’s electric utility company’s power lines, or to another power source, called ‘backfeeding’ is a dangerous practice that is illegal in many states and municipalities.

This action if done incorrectly could damage your generator, appliances and could cause serious injury or death to you or a utility worker when attempting to restore power during an outage occurrence in the neighborhood who may then unexpectedly encounter high voltage on the utility line and suffer a fatal shock.

Whether injuries occur or not, if installed incorrectly and not to applicable laws and codes, you may be subject to ﬁnes or the utility company may disconnect your home power should this practice be found in your home.

If the generator will be connected to a building electrical system, those connections must isolate the generator power from the utility power. You are responsible for ensuring your generator’s electricity does not backfeed into the electric utility power lines. These connections must comply with all applicable laws and codes – Consult your local utility company or a qualiﬁed electrician to properly install this connection.

Do Not Overload Generator

Capacity

Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes:

1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same time.

2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of power you need to keep your items running.

3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identiﬁed in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time.

4. If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for continued normal operation.

– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.

– ALWAYS make sure engine and exhaust/mufﬂer are cooled

down before the generator can be handled safely (typically 15-30 minutes).

 WARNING

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.

To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.

The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table.

In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

The folding handle is not long enough to hold and walk with a full stride when moving the generator. Always side step as you walk to avoid injury to your heels and/or feet. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or damage to the generator.

1. Begin by raising the folding handle, found on opposite side of wheels.

2. Using the handle, tilt the end of the generator slightly off the ground until balanced on the wheels.

3. While maintaining balance, roll the generator to the desired

location.
