Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire. Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel is spilt, wipe it off and let dry before starting the engine.
WARNING
WARNING
Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and / or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation. Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.
WARNING
Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
WARNING
Do not ope rate the gener ator insi de a room , c ave, tunn el, or other insufficiently ventilated area. Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building during use. If the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases.
WARNING
Do not place in flammables near the generator. Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables near the generator.
WARNING

Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is needed to maintain use.
Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2
to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and its use. Once enough "surge" is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to 30% of the wattage to continue running.
Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example, a 5000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.
Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal running wattage in order to start. For example, a 5000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.
Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power
needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. Check with your nearest dealer or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances or power tools.
6. WATTAGE INFORMATION
To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.
NOTE
The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for correct wattage.

(a)
Unhook the cover and remove the cleaner element.
q ELEMENT w AIR CLEANER COVER
(b) Paper element: Clean by tapping gently to
remove dirt and blow off dust. Never use oil. Clean paper element every 50 hours of operation, and replace element every 200 hours or once a year.
(c)
Urethane form : Wash the element with fresh water. Squeeze out the water then dry the element. (Do not twist.)
3. CLEANING AND ADJUSTING
SPARK PLUG (See Fig. 5-e,r)
q SPARK PLUG w PLUG WRENCH
(a) If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove
it using a plug cleaner or wire brush.
(b) Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm
8. "HOW-TO" MAINTENANCE (See Fig. 5)
1. ENGINE OIL CHANGE (See Fig. 5-q)
q OIL DRAIN PLUG
Change engine oil every 50 hours. (For new engine, change oil after 20 hours.)
(a) Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil
filler cap while the engine is warm.
(b)
Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil filler cap.

4. CHECKING CARBON BRUSH (See Fig. 5-t)
If the brush become excessively worn, its contact pressure with the slip ring changes and causes a roughened surface on the slip ring, resulting in irregular generator performance.
Check the brush every 500 hours or if generator performance is irregular.
If the brush is 5 mm long or less, replace it with a new one.
q BRUSH HOLDER w BRUSH e 5 mm r M5 BOLT : 1 pc.
(a) Disconnect the wire connector and remove the
brush.
(b) Carefully note the brush direction and relative
position with the slip ring when installing new brush.
5. SPARK ARRESTR
The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as designed. A clogged spark arrester :
Prevents the flow of exhaust gas
Reduces engine output
Increases fuel consumption
Makes starting difficult
If the engine has been running, the muffler and the spark arrester will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before cleaning the spark arrester.
How to remove the spark arrester
(a) Remove the flange bolts from the muffler cover
and remove the muffler cover.
(b) Remove the special screw from the spark
arrester and remove the spark arrester from the muffler.

PERIODIC OPERATION AND INSPECTION
When furnishing the generator as emergency electric power source, periodic operation and inspection are needed.
Fuel (gasoline) and engine oil will be deteriorated with time, and this causes that the engine is difficult to start and as the results improper engine operation and fault.
Since the fuel (gasoline) will be deteriorated with time, replace fuel (gasoline) with fresh one periodically; once every three (3) months is recommended.
CAUTION
(a) Check the fuel (gasoline), engine oil and air
cleaner.
(b) Start engine.
(c) With appliance such as lightings activated,
run the engine for over ten minutes.
(d) Check for the following items;
Proper engine running.
Adequate output and the indicator lamp turned on properly.
The engine switch normally operated.
No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline).
10. TRANSPORTING
When transporting the generator, make sure that
the fuel (gasoline) should be drained from the tank.
(a) Turn the engine switch to the " " (STOP)
position.
(b) Drain the fuel from the tank.
(c) Secure the tank cap and set the cover in
position.
To prevent fuel spillage due to the vibration and impact, never transport the generator with the fuel (gasoline) filled in the tank.
Secure the tank cap thoroughly.
To avoid the risk of the gasoline flammability, never leave the generator in an area exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures for a long time.
Keep the fuel (gasoline) in the exclusive gasoline storage tank made by steel when transporting.

When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your nearest Cummins dealer or service shop for further information or corrective procedures.
12. TROUBLESHOOTING
Check if engine switch is in its proper position.
Check fuel level.
Check to make sure generator is not connected to an appliance.
Check spark plug for contamination.
Check engine oil level.
Check spark plug for loose spark plug cap.
Turn engine switch to " "(CHOKE) position.
If empty, refill fuel tank making sure not to overfill.
If connected, turn off the power switch on the connected appliance and unplug.
Remove spark plug and clean electrode.
If the engine oil level is low, add the oil to the upper level line on the oil gauge.
If loose, push spark plug cap back into place.
When No Electricity Is Generated at Receptacle :
When Engine Fails to Start:
Check if the AC circuit breaker is turned OFF.
Check AC receptacle and DC terminals for loose connection.
Check to see if engine starting was attempted with appliances already connected to generator.
Stop the engine and check the appliances and/or generator for overloading.
Secure connection if necessary.
Turn off switch on the appliance, and disconnect cable from receptacle. Reconnect after generator has been started properly.
Low power.
Carbon brushes are excessively worm.
Check if the DC circuit breaker
is turned OFF.
Depress the circuit breaker into ON position,
after making sure the electric appliances are
in the normal condition.
11. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE (See Fig. 6)
The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer.
Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult.
When draining fuel from the fuel tank, use the hand pomp and set it into the refilling port.
(See Fig. 6-q)
Remove the drain screw of the carburetor. (See Fig. 6-w)
q DRAIN SCREW
Change engine oil.
Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available. NEVER USE WATER TO CLEAN GENERATOR !
Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.
Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.
