GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

Please familiarize yourself with the following safety symbols and words:

The safety alert symbol is used with one of the safety words ( DANGER, CAUTION, or
WARNING) to alert you to hazards. Please pay attention to these hazard notices both in this manual
and on the generator.

DANGER: Indicates a hazard that will result in serious injury or death if instructions are not followed.

WARNING: Indicates a strong possibility of causing serious injury or death if instructions are not

followed.

CAUTION: Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not
followed.

If you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on

the product, please call [phone] M-F 8-5 CT before using the generator.

DANGER: This generator produces poisonous carbon monoxide gas when
running. This gas is both odorless and colorless. Even if you do not see or smell
gas, carbon monoxide may still be present. Breathing this poison can lead to
headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and eventually death.

 Use outdoors ONLY in non -confined areas.
 Keep several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation of the

generator.

WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline
vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead
to explosion even if not directly in contact with gas.

 Do not operate near open flame.
 Do not smoke near generator.
 Always operate on a firm, level surface.
 Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2

minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.

 Do not overfill gas tank. Gas may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top

of the tank.

 Always check for spilled gas before operating.
 Empty gasoline tank before storing or transporting the generator..
 Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off and disconnect spark plug.

WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in

electrocution.

 ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Ground the Generator”

portion of the “PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE” section).

 Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with

an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a
qualified electrician. Such connections m ust comply with local electrical laws
and codes. Failure to comply can create a backfeed, which may result in serious
injury or death to utility workers.

 Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as

metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in -line with some extension
cords.

 Do not use in rainy or wet conditions.
 Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
 Do not allow children or non -qualified persons to operate.

WARNING: This generator produces heat wh en running. Temperatures near
exhaust can exceed 150oF (65o C).

 Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator

denoting hot parts of the machine.

 Allow generator to cool several minutes after use before touching engine or ar eas

which heat during use.

CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.

 Use generator only for its intended purposes.
 Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
 Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical dev ices.
 Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.
 Do not exceed the Wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more

electrical devices than the unit can handle.

 Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
 Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.

ASSEMBLY

In order to best protect the generator wh ile in the package, this product comes with some components
disassembled. Please complete the following assembly steps before proceeding to use the generator.
For ease of assembly, we recommend attaching the components in the order listed in this manual.

If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps, please call
[phone] M-F 8-5 CT for customer service.

WARNING: This generator is heavy. Some assembly procedures may require two people.

Attach Feet

To attach the feet to the generator, perform the following steps:

1. Stack the two generator wheels on top of each other. Lift the end of the generator that has the
recoil starter onto the stack of wheels (see figure 1). Be careful not to obstruct any holes on the
generator.

2. Place one leg onto the frame as shown in figure 2. Line up the holes on the generator frame with
the holes on the bracket portion of the leg. Tighten using two M6x40 bolts, two M6 nuts, and the
included wrench.

3. Repeat step 2 for the other generator leg.

Attach Handles

The handles attach to the same end of the generator as the feet. To attach the handles to the generator,
perform the following steps:

1. The handle assembly consists of the handle, bolt, two bushings, and a nut as shown in figure 3.

11

The new generator comes with the bolt, bushings, and nut attached to the fram e. To attach the
handle, first remove these pieces from the frame.

2. Place one bushing into each hole of the handle bracket. The head (large part) of the bushing

should be on the inside of the bracket.

3. Line up the holes on the handle bracket, with bushings attached, the holes on the generator frame.

4. Secure the handle to the frame using the bolt and nut. Make this attachment so that the nut is on

the inside of the frame.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other handle.

At this point, gently remove the two wheels from underneath the generator.

Attach Wheels

To attach the wheels to the generator, perform the following steps:

1. Find a wood block or s imilar item that is 3 inches thick or greater and rest the exhaust end of the
generator on the block as shown in figure 4.

2. Take one wheel shaft, one spacer, and one M12 nut as shown. Place the spacer between the two
holes on the frame bracket. Slide the wheel shaft, with the threaded part facing inward, through the
frame and spacer. Secure using an M12 nut and the included wrench as shown in figure 5.

3. Slide the wheel onto the axle and secure in place using a large cotter pin as shown in figure 6.
Spread the pin legs apart slightly to help secure the pin in place.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other wheel.

At this point, the generator assembly is complete. Gently remove the generator from the wood block.
