WARNING:
-Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
NO TE: T he “ Oil Alert System” will automat ically stop the engine before the
oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown, it is st ill advisable t o visually inspect the oil level
regularly.
2. Check the Fuel Level:
- Only use specified gasoline.
- Check the fuel level, if the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel t ank until the level
as specified.
- Never use machine oil, gasoline mixture or non-clean gasoline.
- Dirt, dust or water intake should be avoided from the fuel tank.
- After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
9
WARNING:
-T he gasoline is very easy to burn or explode under specific conditions.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignit e.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Screw
down t he gas filler cap after filling the gasoline.
- Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine st opped. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where

4. STAR T TH E ENGIN E
Before st arting the engine, cut off the load from the alt ernat ing current socket
on the engine.
a) T urn the fuel cap lever fully clockwise t o the ON (open) posit ion.
NO TE: T urn the fuel cap vent lever to the OFF (close) position when
transporting the generator.
12
b) T urn the engine swit ch to the ON (open) position.
c) Turn the choke lever to the ST ART position.
NO TE: Do not use the choke when t he engine is warm or the air temperature is
high.
13
d) Pull t he starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then release the hold
slowly by hand.
e) Move the choke lever to the RUN position as the engine warms up.
WARNING: If the engine stops and will not rest art, check the engine oil
level before troubleshooting in other areas.
14
O peration at high altitudes
At high alt itudes, the standard carburetor air or gas mixture will become
excessively dense, causing the decrease of the engine's functions, and increase
of gas consumption.
To enhance the performance of the engine in high-alt it ude areas, you can make
special adjust ments to carburetor. If you use the engine at an altit ude of over
1500 meters (5000 feet ), please ask the authorized agent of GENPOWER to
modify the carburetor.
Even though you use the proper nozzle, the horsepower of the engine will still
decline 3.5% as the altit ude increases every 300 meters (1000 feet). If these
adjustments are not made, the altitude will have greater influence on power.
WARNING: The nozzle of the engine is designed for high altit ude
areas. If it is put to use in low altitudes, the outputting power may decline and
become too hot, and even the engine will be damaged seriously because the
rat io of the air and burning gas is too low.

5. USAGE O F TH E ENGINE
WARNING:
- In order to prevent getting an elect ric shock because of incorrect operation,
the engine should be eart hed. T he earth port of the engine and the outside earth
source are connected by a thick cable.
- As spare elect rical source for buildings, the connection between generator and
other elect ric power system must be operated by professional elect ricians.
And the operation must comply with the relat ed laws and electric regulations.
Otherwise, the current of the engine may feed back to the public circuit. In this
case, if the workers from electric power company or other people t ouch the wire
when transmitting electricity, they may be shocked by electricity to death.
On t he other hand, when public electricity power is stored, t he engine may burn,
explode, or cause fire to the building's electric power syst em.
LOO K OUT:
- Do not exceed rated power, and the total watt of the connected electrical
equipments should be considered.
- Do not exceed the fixed current limit of socket.
- Do not link the engine household circuit, or else t he engine or the household
circuit would be damaged.
- DO NOT MODIFY the engine for other unrealized purposes.
16
Please comply with the following regulations:
- When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber sheathed
flexible cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
- Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables of 1.5 mm² and 100 m for
cables of 2.5 mm² . Long extension cables will lower usable power due to
resistance in the ext ension cable.
- Keep the generat or away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
WARNING:
- The alt ernat ing and the direct electrical source can be used at the same time.
If you use bot h at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC
and DC. The DC receptacle can be used while t he AC power is in use. Most
appliance motors require more than t heir rated wattage for startup.

8. TRANS PO RT / STO RAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when t ransport ing or during t emporary storage, the
generator should be secured upright in its normal operating posit ion, with the
engine switch OFF.
The fuel cap vent lever is turned fully count erclockwise to the OFF position.
LOO K O UT:
When transport ing the generator:
-Do not let the gas spill out of the gasoline tank. (The top of the gas-filling t ank
should have no gas.)
-When the generator is placed on vehicle, do not run t he engine. You should
take the generator down from the car and operate it in the draught .
-When you take the generator to the car, avoid exposing it to sunshine. If it is
put in sealed carriage for a long time, the high temperat ure of the carriage may
cause t he gas to boiling away, thus leads t o burn.
-Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the generator on
board. If you must t ransport the generator on a rough road, drain the fuel from
the generator before hand.
Before storing the unit for an extende d period:
1. Make sure the storage area is clean and dry.
2. Drain all gasoline from t he fuel tank into an approved gasoline container.
LOO K O UT:
- Gas is very easy t o burn or explode under specific conditions.
- Smoke and flame are strictly forbidden near the gas.
A. Discharge the gas in the gasoline tank t horoughly into a proper container.
B. T urn t he engine swit ch t o the OFF position, and tighten the drain screw
securely.
30
C. Screw down the oil-discharging screw on the lid of the spark plug. With the
drain screw loosened remove the spark plug cap, and pull the starter grip 3 to 4
times t o drain t he gasoline from the fuel pump. Reinstall the spark plug cap on
the spark plug securely.
