SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In order to ensure safety for the consumer,
please carefully follow instructions on being
careful with the generators.

Operate the generator ONLY outdoors. Never
run the generator indoors as the engine gives
off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless
and colorless gas. Inhaling carbon monoxide
will cause nausea, fainting or death. Also, keep
the generator at least 3 feet away from
flammable matter for adequate ventilation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHORT CIRCUIT

Be sure to notify the utility company when using
the generator for backup power. Use approved
transfer equipment to isolate the generator from
electric utility. In highly conductive area such as
metal decking or steel work, use a ground
circuit fault interrupter. Never touch the
generator if the generator is wet. Also, never
touch the generator if your hand is wet. Never
operate your generator if the weather
conditions call for any type of precipitation such
as rain, snow, or fog.

DANGER

Always properly ground the generator. Failing
to do so can result in electrocution, particularly
if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.

PREVENTION FROM ACCIDENTAL
BURNS

Never touch the muffler and its cover when the
engine is running. Never touch the muffler and
cover after the engine has been used, as the
muffler remains hot for a good period of time.

REFUELING PRECAUTIONS

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely
flammable. Do not smoke near gasoline and
keep gasoline away from generator while the
generator is running. When adding fuel, turn the
generator off and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing the gas cap. Loosen gas cap
slowly to relieve the pressure in the tank.

Fill fuel tank outdoors and never overfill the
tank.

ETQ

EASTERN TOOLS & EQUIPMENT INC Tel: [phone] Web Site: easterntools.com

them. Keep the same concept when
disconnecting electrical devices; make sure all
devices are in the "OFF" position before
disconnecting.

Operate the generator on level surfaces only.
Inclined surfaces reduce the effective
lubrication of the engine.

When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in
tank.

Store away from appliances or equipment that
have a pilot light or other ignition sources
because it can ignite gasoline vapors.

ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow equipment to
fully cool down before touching.

Do not expose the generator to excessive
moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

PREPARATION BEFORE
OPERATION

Before starting the generator, verify the
following conditions.

ENGINE OIL

• Fill the engine with SAE 10W-30 engine oil for

generator use or follow the table below.

After the generator has been run, the engine
produces heat. The temperature of the muffler
and nearby areas can reach or exceed 1600 F.
Severe burns will occur on contact with skin. Do
not modify the generator in any way. The
generator supplies the rated voltage and rated
frequency at its governed speed.

GENERATOR SAFETY

Never overload your generator as this can
damage your generator or the electrical devices
connected to it

Do not start generator with electrical devices
connected to it. Start the generator first and
after the speed of the generator stabilizes,
electrical loads can be applied to it.

When connecting electrical loads, make sure
the devices are "OFF" first before connecting

• Make sure the generator is on a level
surface and make sure the oil dipstick is on
tight.

GASOLINE

• If the air filter is dirty, remove and clean the
element.

o Wash in solvent
o Squeeze
o Soak oil
o Squeeze dry

• Add unleaded gasoline and never fill the
fuel tank indoors. Also, be sure to install the
fuel tank cap on tight after filling.

• Reinstall the air cleaner element and
secure the cover by setting the cover
spring.

• DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always allow
room for fuel expansion. Never fill the fuel
tank when the engine is running or hot.
Allow the unit to cool for two minutes before
refueling. DO NOT use light a cigarette or
smoke when filling the fuel tank.

AIR CLEANER

• Unsnap the air cleaner cover springs, and
remove the air cleaner cover.

• Check the air cleaner element to be sure
they are clean and in good condition.

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electric Code requires that the
frame of generator and the external electrically
conductive parts of the generator be connected
to an approved earth ground. Local codes may
differ and require other grounding specifications.
For this purpose, please use the ground wire
that attaches from the frame to the generator
unit.

OPERATING THE GENERATOR

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine, verify that the
engine oil is full, gasoline is full, and air Filter is
in place. Also, disconnect any load from the AC
receptacle, and turn the AC circuit breaker OFF
(Figure 1)

Figure 1. Disconnecting electrical devices

Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire to the frame and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
provides sufficient safety against shock.
However, local codes may differ. Contact a
local electrician to find out specifications for
grounding your generator.

Note: Grounding your generator is highly
recommended. It helps prevent electrical shock
if a ground fault condition exists in the
generator or in faulty connected electrical
devices. Also, because the generator is rotating
at high speeds, static electricity tends to buildup
within the unit. Grounding helps dissipate the
static electricity buildup often buildup in
underground devices.

Warning: Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back against the engine. Return it gently.

ELECTRIC STARTING

Before starting the engine, verify that the

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS AND
ELECTRICAL CAPACITY

After starting the generator, let the engine warm
up after connecting electrical loads to it. Do not
have any electrical loads connected before
starting the generator.

Make sure all electrical devices are 60 Hz
devices.

Do not connect 50 Hz devices to the generator.
Do not connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
Do not overload the generator.

Before beginning your work, you must verify
that the rated (running) and surge (starting)
watts for the items you will power at the same
time are within the generators operating
capacity. Please refer to the following Table 1
for wattage / amperage ratings. Also, to prolong
the life of your generator, prolong the life of your
generator, sequentially add loads and permit
the generator to stabilize before adding another
load. Never exceed the capacity of the
generator.

Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you
will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of
power needed to start electric motor-driven
tools or appliances such as a circular saw or
refrigerator.

CLEANING THE GENERATOR

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the
unit clean and dry. Be sure to store the unit in a
clean and dry environment, where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any
corrosive vapors. Cooling slots should always
be clean and free from clogs.

Note: Do not use a garden hose to clean the
generator. Water can enter the fuel and intake
system and cause problems. In addition, if
water and dirt buildup on the generators
internal windings, the resistance of these
windings will decrease.

Gap measurements

0.7~0.8 mm (.028~.031 inches)

NOTE: If spark plug needs to be replaced, use
NGK(or STAR) Brand: BPR6ES or F7(R)TC

• To clean the generator, use a damp cloth to
wipe the exterior surfaces.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on
dirt of oil.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt
and debris.

• Compressed air (not to exceed 25 psi) may
be used to blow away dirt.

SPARK PLUG

• Remove the spark plug

• Remove the carbon deposits

• Check for discoloration. Standard is tan in

color.

• Check spark plug gap

every week. If this cannot be done and you
must store the unit more than 30 days, please
follow the following guidelines.

Close the fuel valve: drain the fuel from the fuel
tank (Figure 1).

Figure 1.

• Tighten the oil drain plug and fill the engine
with new oil to the filter neck (Figure 4).

Figure 4.

• Drain the fuel from the carburetor (Figure
