HAZARD SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS
5
SAFETY
Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your
generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you are familiar with your
generator’s safe operation procedures.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any
structure or building during use.
• NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partiallyenclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and
windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up
in the home.
• NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed
spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide
very quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that
you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell
exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
• NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sucient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or
death.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide
from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
• If you experience serious symptoms, seek medical attention
immediately. Inform medical sta that carbon monoxide poisoning
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
someone call the re department to determine when it is safe
tore-enter the building.
6
SAFETY
WARNING
Fuel and vapors are extremely ammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.
Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a
spout, use a funnel.
• Do not overll the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
• Do not rell fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it o and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on
hot engine parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the
tank, keep heat, sparks and open ame away. Carefully clean up
any spilled fuel before starting engine.
• Always ll fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
propane, kerosene, and other ammable liquids should be stored
outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such
as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or
the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel
can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s
pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance.
7
SAFETY
If the generator should malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualied electrician for
your local requirements if you are in doubt as to
whether the unit is properly grounded.
This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an external
ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding
Instructions” in the CONTROL FUNTION section of this manual
can be necessary. Please consult a qualied electrician for local
regulations.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To
protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the
generator.
Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least
equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the
entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three
prongs,especially a grounding pin.
NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into
a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is an
extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to
utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer.
It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection
devices.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualied electrician install the appropriate
equipment in accordance with local electrical codes.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s
manual completely before using.
When using this product, the following basic
precautions should always be followed.
• Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may
become overheated if it is enclosed.
• If generator has been covered to protect it from the weather during
non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area
during generator use.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a re,
generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
• Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet
hands. The operator may suer severe electric shock if the
generator is wet due to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well
before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor
wash it with water.
• Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding
procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do
so can be fatal.
• DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits
ammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric
arcing or open ame. Keep the area well ventilated and keep open
ames / sparks away when charging a battery.
• The engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after
operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator
area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine
9
SAFETY
especially the muer area or serious burns may result.
• Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work area.
• It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of
the power tool or appliance that you intend to use. All operators
must read, understand and follow the tool / appliance owners
manual. Tool and appliance applications and limitations must be
understood. Follow all directions given on labels and warnings.
Keep all instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future
reference.
• Use only “LISTED” extension cords. When a tool or appliance is
used outdoors, use only extension cords marked “For Outdoor Use”
Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well
ventilated area.
• Always switch o generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect
tools or appliances when not in use, before servicing, adjusting, or
installing accessories and attachments.
• Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance,
servicing or repair.
NOTE: Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator are
performed by properly trained personnel only.

MAINTENANCE
HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT KIT FOR EPAIII ENGINES
3000ft to 6000ft or 6000ft to 8000ft of elevation
• At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A
very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
Operation at an altitude that diers from that at which this engine was
certied, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
• The fuel system on this Engine or Equipment may be inuenced
by operation at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured
by installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below to
determine when an altitude kit is required. Operating this generator
without the proper altitude kit installed may increase the engine’s
emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance. Kits may
be obtained from any Dealer, and should be installed by a qualied
individual.
