Set up Precautions (cont.)

8. Use only lubricants and fuel recommended in this manual.

9. Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such

backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or

cause res when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company and a qualied electrician if

intending to use the generator for back up power.

Operating Precautions

1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding.

The Generator must be earth-grounded in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

7. Fire Hazard! Do not ll gas tank while engine is running. Do not operate if gasoline has been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting engine.

Do not operate near pilot light or open ame.

8. Do not touch engine during use. Let engine cool down before service or storage.

9. Never store fuel or other ammable

materials near the engine.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

2. Never use a generator indoors, including in garages, basements, crawl spaces and sheds. Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.

3. When using generators, keep them outdoors

and far away from open doors, windows, and vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon monoxide from building up indoors.

4. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air right away.

The carbon monoxide from generators can quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.

5. Keep children away from the equipment,

especially while it is operating.

6. Keep all spectators at least six feet from the Engine during operation.

10. If the plugged in product operates abnormally

or unusually slow, immediately stop using the generator as a power source. Always read and

adhere to the instruction manual of the product to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely

and efciently powered by a portable generator.

11. Before connecting an appliance or power

cord to the generator: Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power

cords can create a potential for electrical shock.

12. Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Make sure that the total electrical rating of the all of the tools or appliances plugged into the generator at the same time does not exceed that of the generator. Check that the startup surge will not be beyond the limit of the Generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

13. Avoid substantially overloading which will trip the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

14. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect

load connections while standing in water, or on wet or soggy ground.

Checking and Filling Fuel

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM FIRE:

Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before adding fuel.

Do not smoke.

1. Clean the Fuel Cap and the area around it.

2. Unscrew and remove the Fuel Cap.

3. If needed, ll the Fuel Tank with 87 octane or higher unleaded gasoline.

Engine Oil Change

CAUTION! Oil is very hot during operation and can

cause burns. Wait for engine to cool before changing oil.

1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.

2. Close the Fuel Valve.

3. Place a drain pan (not included) underneath the crankcase’s drain plug.

4. Remove the drain plug and, if possible, tilt the crankcase slightly to help drain the oil out. Recycle used oil.

5. Replace the drain plug and tighten it.

6. Clean the top of the Dipstick and the area around it. Remove the Dipstick by threading it counterclockwise, and wipe it off with a clean lint free rag.

Note: Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol (E10). Do not use E85 ethanol.

Note: Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container. It can cause particles to enter the carburetor, effecting engine performance and/or causing damage.

4. Replace the Fuel Cap.

5. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before starting engine. To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.

Full level

Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the full level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.

Note: Do not thread the dipstick in when checking the oil level.

The SAE Viscosity Grade chart shows other viscosities to use in different average temperatures.

Air Filter Element Maintenance

1. Remove the air lter cover and the

air lter elements and check for dirt.

Clean or replace as described below.

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

2. Cleaning:

• For “paper” lter elements: To prevent injury from dust and debris, wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves. In a well-ventilated area away from bystanders, use pressurized

air to blow dust out of the air lter. If this does not get the lter clean, replace it.

Spark Plug Maintenance

1. Disconnect spark plug cap from end of plug. Clean out debris from around spark plug.

2. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.

3. Inspect the spark plug: If the electrode is oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag. If the electrode has deposits on it, polish it using emery paper. If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug needs to be replaced.

Assembly

Spark Plug

• For foam lter elements: Wash the element in warm water and mild detergent several times. Rinse. Squeeze out excess water and allow it to dry

completely. Soak the lter in lightweight oil briey, then squeeze out the excess oil.

3. Install the new lter or the cleaned lter. Secure the Air Cleaner Cover before use.

4. When installing a new spark plug, adjust

the plug’s gap to the specication on the Specications chart. Do not pry against the

electrode, the spark plug can be damaged.

5. Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug into the engine. Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the gasket contacts the cylinder head, then about 1/2-2/3 turn more. Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the plug contacts the head, then about 1/16 turn more.

NOTICE: Tighten the spark plug properly. If loose, the spark plug will cause the engine to overheat. If overtightened, the threads in the engine block will be damaged.

NOTICE: Using an incorrect spark plug may

damage the engine. See the Specications chart

for your Generator for the type and gap required.

6. Apply spark plug boot protector to the end of the spark plug and reattach the wire securely.

• You are responsible for shipping your engine to a HFT warranty station as soon as a problem exists. Contact the HFT Customer Service depart-

ment at the number below to make shipping arrangements. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
