Generator Location
Please consult your local authority. In some areas,
generators must be registered with the local utility.
Generators used at construction sites may be
subject to additional rules and regulations.
This generator must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
three feet of clearance on all sides of the generator
to allow for adequate cooling,maintenance and
servicing.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air
currents when positioning generator.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to
the ground terminals on the power panel.
The system ground is connected to the AC neutral
wire.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and m any
programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range
and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations.
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic
equipment.
1.Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge
suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive
equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet
styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually
all shortduration voltage fluctuations.
2. Obtain an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
device.
Most UPS devices come with a rechargeable
battery between the electronic equipment and
power supply source. The device buffers the voltage
and protects against virtually all shortduration
voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Connect LPG tube to the LPG tank, and then
open the LPG valve slowly, till it totally open (to
insure no LPG leakage).
4. Move the choke lever to the “Choke” position.
5. Press the denser bottom of the REDUCTOR
ASSY and hold 1～2 seconds;
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to
“Run”.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1.Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
Prohibit using CNG, NG or gasoline as fuel.
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
DO NOT overload the generator.
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
If the engine starts but does not run, make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
?
1. When using the LPG generator, please be
sure that there is some distance between LGP
tank and LPG generator, to prevent
unnecessary danger because of high
temperature surface of LGP tank;
2. When using the unit, please check the
surface temperature of LPG tank.

2.Let the generator run at no-load for several
minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the
engine and generator.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “Off” position.
4.Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running
and starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running
at the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items.
This is the amount of power you need to keep your
items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2.
2. Surge wattage is the extra burst of power needed
to start some electric driven equipment. Following
the steps listed under “Power Management” will
guarantee that only one device will be starting at a
time.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:
Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load
attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to
stabilize.
3.Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach
the item with the largest load first.
4.Allow the engine to stabilize.
5.Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

About Your Product Warranty
Eastern Tools & Equipment, Inc. welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service
Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes warranty service may be
inappropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if an engine is damaged because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance,
shipping, handling, warehousing and improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number on the engine has been
removed or if the engine has been altered or modified. If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will
be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the
factory for review. If the distributor or the factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items
that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding, which might occur between the customer and the dealer, listed below are some of the
causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover
Normal wear:
Engines and generators, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part of an engine.
Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine or your equipment depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some
