PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
Using the Generator for the First Time
The following section describes steps you must follow to prepare your gene rator for first-time
use. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call
(877) 968-3733 M-F 8-5 CT for customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can
damage your generator or shorten its li fe.
If you are using the generator for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to prepare it for
operation:
Step 1- Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package,
contains no oil in the crankcase. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator
for the first time. This amount, which is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase, can be found
on the chart in figure 6. When filling the engine with oil in the future, please refer to this chart.

For general use, we recommend SAE 10W/30 o il to fill the engine crankcase.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 7.
3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil, as found in figure 6, into the crankcase.
NOTE: Even if you have measured out the appropriate amount of oil, some spillage is common
when filling. You will know the crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of
the opening you have just poured the oil i nto (see figure 7).
4. Replace oil filler cap.

Step 2- Add Gasoline
WARNING: Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flamm able.
Do not fill tank near an open flame.
Do not overfill. Always check for fuel spills.
To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, UNLEADED GAS WITH AN OCTANE
RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. To add gasoline:
1. Make sure the generator is on a le vel surface.
2. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap may be tight and hard to unscrew).
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Please refer to the
chart in figure 9 to find the gas capacity of your generator mod el. The fuel gauge on the top of
the generator indicates how much gasoline is in the generator gas tank. NOTE: Gas can expand.
Do not fill the gas tank to the very top.
4. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
Never use old gas.

USING THE GENERATOR
Once you have allowed the engine to run for several minutes, you may connect electrical devices to the
generator.
AC Usage
CAUTION: Please familiarize yourself with the markings on the panel before connecting electrical
devices.
You may connect electrical devices running on AC current according to their wattage requirements.
The chart in figure 1 4 shows the rated and surge wattage of your generator according to its model
number.
CAUTION: Although the overall rated wattage of the machine is 7000 Watts, you never attempt to
draw more than 2400 Watts(20 A) from any ONE of the 120 Volt receptacles.
The rated wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage the generator can output on a continuous basis.
The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power the generator can output for a short
period of time. Many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short bursts of extra power, in
addition to the rated wattage listed by the device, to stop and start their motors. T he surge wattage
ability of the generator covers this extra power requirement.

Figure1 4- generator wattage by model number.
The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to the generator should not
exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the
electrical devices you wish to conne ct, find the rated (or running) wattage of each device. This number
should be listed somewhere on the device or in its instruction manual. If you cannot find this wattage,
you may calculate it by multiplying the Voltage requirement by the Amperage drawn:
Watts= Volts x Amperes
If these specifications are not available, you may estimate the Watts required by your device using the
chart in figure 15.
Once you have found the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device, add these numbers to find
the total rated wattage you wish to draw from the generator. If this number exceeds the rated wattage
of the generator, DO NOT connect all these devices. Select a combination of electrical devices, which
has a total rated wattage lower than or equal to the rated wattage of the generator.
CAUTION- The generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect
electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of

CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breakers help to prevent the generator fro m electrical overload. If your receptacle short
circuits or becomes overloaded by an electrical device or devices with too great a wattage rating, the
circuit protector may shut off power to the receptacle. If this happens, you will see the voltage meter
changing from having voltage output to no voltage. and you will not be able to draw power from the
overloaded receptacle. In the event of such an overload, disconnect all electrical devices from the
generator and press the circuit breaker to “ON” position. If power still does not return to the receptacle,
call our customer service line.
ATUOMATIC IDLE REDUCTION
When load≥100W(0.83A), the generator will run from automatic idle reduction state to normal
running state. The transition will be finished within 20 seconds.
When load ≤60W(0.5A), the generator may run from normal running state to automatic idle reduction
state. The transition will be finished within 30 seconds.
SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using
such cords, allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement by the electrical device. See Figure
17 for recommended cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.

DC Usage
CAUTION: The DC receptacle is for charging 12 Volt 8.3A batteries ONLY. Do not connect any
other device to this receptacle.
CAUTION: Only charge batteries when they are removed from the automobile. Never try to
“jumpstart” a car using the generator.
To connect 12 Volt batteries to the DC receptacle:
1. Connect the positive end of charging wire to the positive terminal on the battery.
2. Connect the other end of charging wire to the negative terminal on the battery.
3. Start the generator.
4. Carefully connect the plug of charging wire to V shape DC receptacle on the generator.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
To stop the generator:
1. Turn off, then unplug all connected electrical devices.
2. Allow the generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected. This
helps stabilize the temperature of the generator.
3. Set the engine switch to the “off” position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “off” position.
WARNING: Allow the generator to cool for several minutes before touching areas that
become hot during use.
CAUTION: Allowing gas to sit in the generator tank for long periods of time without use can
make it difficult to start the gen erator in the future. Never store generator for extended periods
of time with fuel in the tank.

Cleaning the Generator
Always try to use your generator in a cool dry place. In the event t he generator becomes dirty, clean the
exterior with one or more of the following:
- a damp cloth
- a soft brush
- a vacuum
- pressurized air
Never clean the generator with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get inside the working parts of
the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Checking the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff and low oil indicator to protect it from running on
low oil. Nonetheless, you should check the oil level of the generator before each use to ensure t hat the
generator crankcase has a sufficient amount. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 19).
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the stick on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove again. There should now
be oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at the very end of the stick, you
should add oil until the engine crankcase is filled. See “Changin g/ Adding Oil” in this section.
5. Be sure to replace cap when finished checking oil.

Figure19- Checking the oil
Changing/ Adding Oil
You should check the oil level of the generator according to the maintenance schedule in figure 19.
When the oil level is low you will need to add oil until the level is sufficient to run the generator.
The oil capacity of your generator engine is listed in figure 2 0.

Figure 20- Engine Oil Capacity.
It is necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase every 3 months or Hours Meter shows “OFF”, or if it
has become contaminated with water or dirt. Drain the oil from the generator accordi ng to the
following steps:
1. Place a bucket underneath the generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a 10 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which is located on the crankcase
underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 2 1). Allow all the oil to drain from the
generator.
3. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 10 mm hex wrench.
To add oil to the crankcase, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in fi gure 20 above.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to the crankcase. We recommend SAE 10W/30
motor oil for general use. When full, the oil level should come close to the top of the oil fill
opening (see figure 22).

NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
Air Cleaner Maintenance
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper air flow to the carburetor. Check that the
air cleaner is free of excessive dirt.
1. Unhinge the clasps at the top and bottom of the air cleaner cover (see figure 2 3).
2. Remove the sponge-like elements from the casing.
3. Wipe the dirt from inside the empty air cleaner casing
4. Wash the sponge-like elements in household detergent and warm water. Allow to dry.
5. Replace the sponge-like elements in the air cleaner casing and replace the cover.
Figure 23- Removing the air cleaner casing.
Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning
The fuel filter cup is a small well underneat h the fuel valve. It helps to trap dirt and water that may be
in the fuel tank before it can enter the engine. To clean the fuel filter cup:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “off” position.
2. Unscrew the fuel filter cup from the fuel valve using a wrench. Turn t he valve toward you to
unscrew (see figure 24).
3. Clean the cup of all sediment using a rag or brush.
4. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.

Spark Plug Maintenance
The spark plug is importa nt for proper engine operation. A good spark plug should be intact, free of
deposits, and properly gapped. To inspect the spark plug:
1. Pull on the spark plug cap to remove it.
2. Unscrew the spark plug from the generator using the spark plug wrench included with this
product (see figure 25).
3. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, discard and replace with a new
spark plug.
4. Measure the plug gap with a gauge (see figure 2 6). The gap should be 0.7 -0.8mm (0.028-
0.031in).
5. If you are re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the spark plug
base and then re-gap the spark plug.
6. Screw the spark plug back into its place on the generator using the spark plug wrench. Place
back the spark plug cap.
