Chapter 1 — Safety First
Playing it safe when working with power equipment is always a good idea. Here are some
important precautions to make sure you stay safe.
1.1 Safety while Operating Your Generator
Always perform an oil, fuel, and air filter check before starting the engine.
• Properly clean and maintain the equipment.
• Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and dependable
service.
• Before operating the generator, read the user manual carefully. Otherwise
generator use may result in personal injuries or equipment damage.
• Never run the generator in an enclosed area to avoid harm from exhaust
emissions of a poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
• Be careful not to touch the exhaust system or discharge tubing during
operation due to risk of burns.
• Pay attention to the warning labels. The engine exhaust system will
become heated during operation and remain hot for an extended period
after the engine is stopped.
• Gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive liquid. Refuel in a well
ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarettes, open flames,
smoke and/or sparks.
• Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be
done by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious injuries to
electrical workers during a power outage, and when the utility power is
restored, the generator may explode or cause fires.
• Place the generator at least 3 feet away from buildings or other equipment
during operation.
• Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in fuel
spills.
9
• Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all
the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper
instructions.
• Keep children, pets and machinery with moving parts away during
operation.
• Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.
• Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator.
• Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after
the engine has been shut down.
1.2 Understanding AC Safety
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:
• Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or
power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
• Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate
abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem, see
Troubleshooting on page 29.
• Make sure that the electrical rating of the device(s) does not exceed that of
the generator. If the power level of the device(s) is between the maximum
output power and the running power of the generator, the generator should
not be used for more than 30 minutes.
1.3 Safety while Maintaining Your Generator
After any maintenance is performed, wash immediately using soap and clean water
because repeated exposure to lubricant may cause skin irritation.
• Do not clean the filter element with flammable liquids like gasoline because
an explosion may occur.
10
• Turn off the engine before performing any maintenance. Otherwise it can
cause severe personal injury or death.
• Allow the generator set to cool down before performing any maintenance.
• Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air.
• Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can
cause damage to the generator set.
• Before working with batteries, ventilate the area, wear safety glasses, do
not smoke and always disconnect the negative cable first and reconnect it
last.
• Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine oil.
• Always stop the generator set before removing the oil filler cap.
• Only qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of fuels, electricity,
and machinery hazards should perform maintenance procedures.
• Lubricate all exposed metal parts regularly.
1.4 Other Safety Tips
• If the generator set is running in a partially enclosed space, adequate
ventilation should be provided to avoid breathing in poisonous carbon
monoxide from the exhaust gases.
• If the generator set is stored outdoors, check all the electrical components
on the control panel before each use. Moisture can damage the generator
and can lead to an electric shock.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Chapter 3 — Setting Up your EZV series Generator
Setup should be done everytime you start up your generator, these quick checks will
ensure you get the most out of your generator.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the generator
in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Operate the
generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may
result. Keep away from moving parts while the generator is running. The
generator is air-cooled and may be damaged if ventilation is inadequate.
3.1 Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Inspect engine oil:
3. Take out the oil filler cap and clean the dipstick.
4. Check the oil level by reinserting the oil filler cap without rotating it. Remove
the oil filler cap and examine the oil level. If the oil level is at or below the
minimum oil level, refill the oil to the maximum oil level mark.
5. Reinsert the oil filler cap and tighten securely.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Non-detergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
