Generators produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that can cause death or

serious injury.

Indoor use of a generator can kill quickly. Generators should be used outdoors only.

Do not operate this generator inside any enclosed compartment. This includes an RV generator

compartment.

Generators should be used outdoors only and away from garages and open windows and protected

from rain and snow.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■The generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to the

instructions.

Read and understand the Owner's Manual before operating the generator.

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

！WARNING

■Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Never fun

the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

WARNING

■The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains after the engine has stopped.

Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.

Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.

WARNING

■Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated

area with the engine stopped.

Keep away from smoking materials, sparks and other sources of combustion when refueling the

generator.

■ Wipe up spilled gasoline immediately.

WARNING

■Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician

and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical

current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility

company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is

restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building electrical system.

WARNING

■Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine.

■Place the generator at least three feet or one meter away from buildings or other equipment during

operation.

■Operate the generator on a level surface to prevent fuel spillage and oil starvation.

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

anyone to operate the generator without proper instruction.

■Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operating.

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

■The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused; do not operate with wet hands.

Do not operate the generator in rain or snow or allow it to get wet.

2.3 Serial Number and Bar Code Location

The engine serial number is stamped on the engine block to the left of the oil drain plug. In most cases

the battery will have to be removed to view it clearly. Refer to this number when ordering parts or

making technical inquiries.

Engine serial number

Engine serial number

The bar code label is found in three locations: on the generator chassis below the service door, on the

packing carton, and on the owner’s manual inside cover. The bar code identifies the production date

and is used by your dealer and the customer service center for warranty administration.

Please record this information below and keep this manual in a safe place along with the bill of sale.

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped.

3.1 Engine Oil

WARNING

■ Using non detergent or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life.

■ Use a high-detergent, premium quality four cycle engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S.

Automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG/SF.

■ Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.

SAE Viscosity Grades

Ambient Temperature

Open the service door. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Engine oil

capacity is 1.2 quarts or 1.1 liters.

Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in. If the oil level is below

the end of the dipstick, refill with recommended oil up to the top of the oil filler neck.

CAUTION

■Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

■The oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level

falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still

advisable to visually inspect the oil level before each use.

3.2 Fuel

Use unleaded 87 octane regular gasoline Do not use premium or high octane fuels.

The engine is tuned to run on regular gasoline and engine damage and poor performance may result

from using higher octane fuels.

If the fuel level is low, refill to the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.

Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.

After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.

WARNING

■Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

■Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flame or sparks in the

area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

■Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the

fuel filler cap is closed properly and securely.

■Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled,

make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

■Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapors. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF

CHILDREN.

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALTERNATE FUELS

If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol or methanol, be sure its octane rating is no lower

than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 15% ethanol. An ethanol blend will

produce lower power and higher fuel consumption. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

3.3 Air Cleaner

Check the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.

Open the service cover. Remove the air cleaner cover and remove the paper air cleaner element.

Replace the element if dirty or damaged.

CAUTION

■Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants such as

dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into the engine.
