1. Safety Instructions

This generator is designed to provide safe and
dependable service if operated according to
instructions.

n Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before

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

Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
Never run the generator in an enclosed area.

n Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.

n Always refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine

stopped.

n Keep away from smoking materials, sparks, and other

sources of combustion when refueling the generator.

n Clean up spilled gasoline immediately.
n Restrict operation of generator in high-risk fire causing

areas.

Do not touch muffler while it is hot.

n The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains

hot for several minutes after stopping the engine.

Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.

n The engine exhaust system will be heated during operation

and remain hot immediately after stopping the engine.

n Pay attention to the warning marks attached to the

generator to prevent burns or serious injury.

Connections for standby power to a building's 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's electrical system. This generator
is not designed to be connected to an automatic transfer
switch. Serious damage to the engine and inverter module
may result.

spillage and/or oil starvation.

n Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand

operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate
the generator without proper instructions.

n Keep children and pets away from the generator while in

operation.

n Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is

running.

3. Pre-Operation Check

Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the
engine stopped. Under no circumstances can this generator
be used in an enclosed compartment.

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

1. Check the engine oil level.

a. Open left maintenance cover and wipe the oil level

indicator with a clean rag.

b. Check the oil level by inserting the oil level indicator in

the filler hole, tighten, and unscrew it out.

c. If the oil level is below the end of the oil level indicator,

refill the recommended oil up to the top of the oil filler
neck.

The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine
before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the an unexpected shutdown, it is recommended to
inspect the oil level and refill regularly.

2. Check the fuel level.

a. Fuel tank capacity is 5.9 gal. (22L).

b. Use automotive unleaded 87-octane gasoline only. Do not use premium or high

octane fuels. Engine is designed to run on regular gasoline. Engine damage and/
or poor performance may result. If the fuel level is low, refill to the shoulder of the
fuel strainer.

c. After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.

d. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or

water in the fuel tank.

e. A fuel preservative and stabilizer should be added to any container of stored fuel.

Using non detergent oil or 2 cycle engine oil could
shorten the engine’s service life.

n Use a high-detergent,

premium quality 4-stroke
engine oil, certified to
meet or exceed U.S.
automobile manufacturer's
requirements for API
Service Classification SG/
S F.

n Select the appropriate

viscosity for the average
temperature in your area.

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

n Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep all possible

ignition materials, sparks, and any other source of combustion away from the
generator during refueling.

n Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark).

After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

n Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Make sure the area is dry before

starting the engine. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.

n Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT

OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Gasoline containing alternate fuels

If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol, be sure its octane rating is

no lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 10%
ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

n Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of

fuels that contain an improper alcohol blend are not covered under warranty.

n Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, determine if the fuel contains

ethanol and if it does, confirm the type and percentage of ethanol used.

n Replace fuel with proper blend if you experience any undesirable operating

symptoms while using a gasoline that contains ethanol, or one that you think
contains ethanol.

3. Check the air cleaner.

a. Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition.

b. Open the left side maintenance cover.

c. Remove the air cleaner cover, remove the paper components from the air cleaner

cover, and check air cleaner components.

d. If the paper element is dirty or torn, replace it with a new one. Do not attempt to

clean the element.

n 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.
