1) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

z Generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions.

z Read the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator.

z Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

z Operate the generator ONLY outdoors, and at least 3 feet away from open doors or windows.

z Never run the generator indoors as the engine gives off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless

and colorless gas.

z Inhaling carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

z Keep the generator at least 3 feet away from flammable matter for adequate ventilation.

z Be sure to stop the engine before refueling.

z Do not overfill the fuel tank.

z If fuel is spilled, wipe it away carefully and wait until the fuel has dried before starting the engine

again.

z When changing oil, make sure that the fuel cap is tightly secured to prevent fuel leakage.

4

z The muffler is very hot during operation, and remains hot for some time after the engine has

stopped. Do not touch the muffler while it is hot.

z Allow the engine to cool down before moving the generator (Pay attention to the warnings that are

attached to the generator).

z Connections between standby power and a building’s electrical system must be installed by a

qualified electrician, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

z Improper installation may cause electrical current to run back into the electrical transmission lines,

which may electrocute utility company workers or others who come into contact with these lines
during a power outage.

z If the generator is not installed properly, it may explode, burn, or cause a fire in the building’s

electrical system when the power is restored.

z Always conduct a pre-operation inspection (see page 7) before starting the engine.

z Place the generator at least 1m (3ft) away from buildings or other equipment during operation.

z Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result

z Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand the operation of all the controls. Never

operate without proper instructions.

z Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.

z Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.

z The generator can cause electric shocks when misused; do not operate with wet hands.

z Do not operate the generator in rain or snow, and do not allow the generator to get wet.

3) PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Be sure to check the generator on a level surface when the engine does not work.

1) Check oil level.

Open the left side maintenance cover by unscrewing the cover screw. Remove the oil filler cap,

and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in the hole

without screwing it in. If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, add the recommended

amount of 0.25 litre of SF 10W-30 oil to the crankcase.

CAUTION:

UPPER LEVEL

Select the engine oil according

to the surrounding temperature.

OIL FILLER CAP

Use high-detergent, premium quality, 4-stroke engine oil. Using non-detergent oil or 2-stroke engine

oil could shorten the service life of the engine. Running the generator with a low oil level could result

in serious damage to the engine.

NOTE: The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe

limit. In order to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is recommended that the oil
level be checked on a regular basis.

2) CHECKING THE FUEL LEVEL

• Verify that the generator has sufficient fuel before each use. When adding fuel after the

generator has been used, verify that the generator is turned OFF, and allow it to cool down.

• If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank to the proper level, as specified. Unleaded or
low-lead gasoline is recommended in order to minimize deposits in the combustion
chamber. Use gasoline within 30 days of purchase. Using old gasoline may cause

problems. Securely tighten the fuel filler cap after refueling.

• Verify that the generator is properly grounded in accordance with local requirements.

Before adding fuel, all electrical loads must be disconnected and the generator must be
turned off.

3) CHECKING THE AIR FILTER

Check the air filter in order to verify that it is clean and in good condition. Loosen the cover screw

and remove the left side maintenance cover. Press the latch tab on the top of the air filter body,

remove the air filter cover, and check the air filter. Clean or replace the air filter if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not run the engine without an air filter. Rapid engine wear will result from

contaminants such as dust and dirt being drawn into the engine through the carburetor.
