.A WARNING!
Read and understand this manual in its entirety before operating this generator. Improper
use of this generator could result in serious injury or death.
A Do not operate indoors or in a confined space preventing dangerous carbon
~
monoxide gas from dissipating.
• Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES!
• Carbon monoxide gas is a poisonous, odorless gas that can cause headache, confusion, fatigue, nausea, fainting,
sickness, seizures, or death. If you start to experience any of these symptoms, IMMEDIATELY get fresh air and seek
medical attention.
• Never use indoors, in a covered area, or in a confined space, even if doors and windows are open.
• Install a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm near bedrooms.
• Keep exhaust from this unit from entering a confined area through windows, doors, vents, or other openings.
• When working in areas where vapors could be inhaled, use a respirator mask according to all of its instructions.
_A. WARNING!

_A WARNING!
SAFETY RULES
Never exceed generators wattage / amperage capacity. This could damage the generator
and / or connected electrical devices.
• Check operating voltage and frequency requirements of all electrical devices prior to plugging them into the
generator .
A WARNING!
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.
• Always start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
• Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
A WARNING!
Starter and other moving parts can catch on clothing, jewelry, and hair.
Do not wear loose clothing or gloves.
Remove jewelry or anything else that could be caught in moving parts.
Tie back or wear protective head covering to contain long hair.
A WARNING!
&, A, Keep engine away from flammable objects and other hazardous materials.
• The fuel and its vapors used to power this unit are highly flammable and could explode resulting in serious injury or
death.
• Never fill or drain fuel tank indoors.
• Never overfill fuel tank. If fuel spills, move the unit at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe up any remaining fuel
on the unit before starting the engine.
• Never smoke while operating or fueling this unit.
• Never operate or store this unit near an open flame, heat, or any other ignition source.
• Generator should have at least 5 feet of clearance from buildings or other equipment during operation.
• Keep engine free of grass, leaves, or grease which are flammable.
• When adding or draining fuel, unit should be turned off for at least 2 minutes to cool before removing fuel cap. If unit
has been running then the fuel cap is under pressure, remove slowly.
• To keep fuel from spilling, secure unit so it cannot tip while operating or transporting.
• When transporting unit, disconnect the spark plug wire and make sure the fuel tank is empty with the 3 in 1 switch is
turned to the off position.
A WARNING!
Pull cord recoils rapidly and pulls arm towards engine faster than you can let go which
could result in injury.
To avoid recoil, pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

_A. WARNING!
SAFETY RULES
A_ This generator produces a very high voltage which could result in burn or
~
electrocution causing serious injury or death.
Never handle the generator, electronic devices, or any cord while standing in water, while barefoot, or when hands or
feet are wet.
• Always keep the generator dry. Never operate generator in rain or under wet conditions.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in a damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.
Never plug electronic devices into generator having frayed, worn, or bare wires. Never touch bare wires or make
contact with receptacles.
Never permit a child or unqualified person to operate generator. Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the
generator at all times.
If using the generator for back up power, notify the utility company.
If connecting generator to a building's electrical system for standby power, you must use a qualified electrician to
install a transfer switch. Failure to isolate the generator from the power utility could result in serious injury or death to
electric utility workers.
A_ wARNING!
& Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
Only operate generator on a level surface.
Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.
A. WARNING!
Never modify this unit in any way or modify governed speed.
Increasing governing speed is dangerous which can result in personal injury and / or damaged equipment.
Decreasing governing speed adds an excessive load and can damage equipment.
Only when operating at the preset governing speed will this generator supply the correct rated frequency and voltage.
A. WARNING!
Only use this unit as it is intended or serious injury or death could result.
Do not bypass any safety device. Moving parts are covered with guards. Make sure all protective covers are in place.
Never transport or make adjustments to this unit while it is running.

CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
ON/OFF Start Switch and Choke
Start Switch "OFF"
When the Start Switch is in the "OFF" position the fuel valve is
switched off and the engine will not run.
Start Switch "CHOKE"
When the Start Switch is in the "CHOKE" position the fuel valve is
switched on and the engine can be started.
Start Switch "RUN"
When the Start Switch is in the "RUN" position the fuel valve is switched on
and the engine can run.
Note: The Choke is not required to start a warm engine
USB Outlet
The Generator offers a convenient (5V DC 1.5A) USB outlet to allow
charging of USB devices like Tabelets, MP3 players, GPS, Digital
Cameras and other USB chargable devices.
Oil Warning Indicator Light
~---~USB
When the oil falls below the minimum level, the oil warning indicator
light comes on and the engine stops automatically. The engine will not
start until the proper amount of oil is in the crank case.
Note: If the oil warning indicator light does not come on and the
engine stalls, turn the Start Switch to "RUN" and pull the recoil
starter.
Engine Overload Indicator Light
If the engine overload indicator light comes on, the generators wattage
I amperage capacity has been exceeded by connected electrical
devices or by a power surge. When this occurs, the green AC Pilot
Indicator Light will go off. The engine will continue to run, but the red
Engine Overload Indicator Light will stay on and power will no longer be
supplied to connected electronic devices.
How to Correct
1. Disconnect any electronic devices then stop the engine. Oil warning overload
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electronic devices until it is Indicator Indicator
within the generator's rated output.
3. Inspect the Air Inlet and Control Panel for any blockage. Remove
blockage if found.
4. Restart Engine.

Indicator Indicator
When the DC Circuit Breaker is in the "ON" position, the generator is able to supply power to connected electronic devices.
When the DC Circuit Breaker is in the "OFF" position, the generator will no longer supply power. The DC Circuit Breaker
automatically turns "OFF" when connecting electronic devices to the generator that exceed the generator's rated output. If
the DC Circuit Breaker turns off, reduce the load of connected electronic devices until the load is within the specified rated
output. To re-establish power, return the DC Circuit Breaker back to the "ON" position.
A CAUTION!
If the DC Circuit Breaker turns off again, stop using the generator immediately and consult a
qualified electrician or small Engine repair shop.
Engine Economy Control
• When the Engine Economy switch is turned to the "ON" position, the economy control unit automatically determines the
generator's proper engine speed based on the connected electronic load. This results in superior fuel economy and
reduces noise.
• When the Economy switch is turned to the "OFF" position, the engine runs at the rated speed of 4,100 r/min.
