GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
The safety alert symbol is used with one of the safety words (DANGER, CAUTION, or WARNING) to alert you of hazards. Please pay attention to these hazard notices both in this manual and on the generator.
Please familiarize yourself with the following safety symbols and words:
●● DANGER: Indicates a hazard that will result in serious injury or death if instructions are not followed.
●● WARNING: Indicates a strong possibility of causing serious injury or death if instructions are not followed.
●● CAUTION: Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed.
DANGER: This generator produces poisonous carbon monoxide gas when running. This gas is both odorless and colorless. Even if you do not see or smell gas, carbon monoxide may still be present. Breathing this poison can lead to headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and eventually death.
●● Use outdoors ONLY in non-confined areas.
●● Keep several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation of the generator.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 150°F (65°C).
●● Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator denoting hot parts of the machine.
●● Allow generator to cool several minutes after use before touching engine or areas which heat during use.
7
GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gas.
●● Do not operate near an open flame.
●● Do not smoke near generator.
●● Always operate on a firm, level surface. ●● Always turn generator off before refueling.
●● Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
●● Do not overfill gas tank. Gas may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank.
●● Always check for spilled gas before operating.
●● Empty the gasoline tank before storing or transporting the generator.
●● Before transporting, turn fuel valve to the off position and disconnect the spark plug.
WARNING: This generator produces a powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
●● ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Grounding the Generator” portion of the “PREPARlNG THE GENERATOR FOR USE section).
●● Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a qualified electrician. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a backflow of power, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.
●● Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCls are available in-line with some extension cords.
●● Do not use uncovered in rainy or wet conditions. ●● Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
●● Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.

GENERATOR SETUP (CONTINUED)
Step 3 - Adding Oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package contains no oil in the crankcase*. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator for the first time. This amount is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase:
Model Number |
XP10000EH |
|
|
Engine Oil Capacity |
37 fl. oz (1.1L) |
|

ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE
Engine oil recommended: SAE 10W-30. Viscosity varies with regions and temperatures. Choose your oil viscosity using the chart to the left.
* A small amount of oil from factory testing may be present on arrival.
1.Add oil
a.Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b.Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine .
c.Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil into the crankcase. You will know the crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening you have just poured the oil into.
d.Replace oil filler cap.
WARNING: DO NOT overfill the crankcase. This may damage the motor and shorting overall life of your generator.
