INTRODUCTION
This generator is an engine-driven, portable generator. It is designed to supply electrical power to operate tools,
appliances, camping equipment, lighting or serve as a backup power source during power outages.
**See “Oil Recommendations” in the maintenance section.
*Maximum wattage and current are subject to, and limited by, such factors as
fuel BTU content, ambienttemperature, altitude, engine condition, etc...
Maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level and
will also decrease about 1% for each 6 oC (10 oF) above 16 C (60 F) ambient temperature
The emissions control system for this generator is compliant with all standards set by the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Record the following information bellow for service or warranty assistance.

•
Check operating voltage and frequency requirements of all electrical devices prior to plugging them into the generator.
Never exceed generators wattage / amperage capacity. This could damage the generator
and / or connected electrical devices.
WARNING!
•
Always let the engine stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
•
Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.

WARNING!
Starter and other moving parts can catch on clothing, jewelry, and hair.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or gloves.
•
Remove jewelry or anything else that could be caught in moving parts.
•
Tie back or wear protective head covering to contain long hair.
When adding or draining fuel, unit should be turned off for at least 2 minutes to cool before removing fuel cap.
If unit has been running then the fuel cap is under pressure, remove slowly.
To keep fuel from spilling, secure unit so it cannot tip while operating or transporting.
When transporting unit, disconnect the spark plug wire and make sure the fuel tank is empty and the 3 in 1
switch is turned to the off position.

WARNING!
•
To avoid, pull recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull swiftly.
Pull cord recoils rapidly and pulls arm towards engine faster than you can let go which
could result in injury.
WARNING!
•
Use caution around the exhaust, cylinder and other engine parts as they can be extremely
hot.
Avoid contacting hot areas of this unit.

SAFETY RULES
•
Never handle the generator, electronic devices,or any cord while standing in water, while barefoot, or when hands
or feet are wet.
•
Always keep the generator dry. Never operate generator in rain or under wet conditions.
•
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in a damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel
work.
•
Never plug electronic devices into generator having frayed, worn, or bare wires. Never touch bare wires.
•
generator at all times.
•
If using the generator for backup power, notify the utility company.
•
install a transfer switch. Failure to isolate the generator from the power utility could result in serious injury or death
to electric utility workers.
This generator produces a very high voltage which could result in burn or
electrocution causing serious injury or death.
WARNING!
•
Only operate generator on a level surface.
•
Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground
Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Never modify this unit in any way or modify governed speed.
•
Increasing governing speed is dangerous which can result in personal injury and/or damaged equipment.
•
Decreasing governing speed adds an excessive load and can damage equipment.
•
Only when operating at the preset governing speed will this generator supply the correct frequency and voltage.
WARNING!
Only use this unit as it is intended or serious injury or death could result.
•
Do not bypass any safety device. Moving parts are covered by guards. Make sure all protective covers are in place.
•
Never transport or make adjustments to this unit while it is running.
•
Never insert objects through cooling slots.
WARNING!
Never operate this unit if there are any broken or missing parts and only use original

CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
Fuel Selector Switch
When the Switch is in the petrol position and the petrol is "On", the
generator is ready to start on petrol.
When the Switch is in the LPG position and the petrol is "Off" and
generator is ready to start on LPG.
Choke Lever
When starting the generator on petrol, pull out the "Choke" lever to
allow the unit to start. Once started, push the choke back in to
allow the unit to run normally.
Note:
Warning Indicator Light
When the oil falls below the minimum level, the oil warning indicator
light comes on and the engine stops automatically. The engine
will not start until the proper amount of oil is in the crank case.
The Choke is not required to start a warm engine.
Note:
stalls, turn the Start Switch to “RUN” and pull the recoil
starter handle.
Engine Overload Indicator Light
If the engine overload light comes on, the generator wattage
/ amperage capacity has been exceeded by connected electrical
devices or by a power surge. When this occurs, the green AC Pilot
Indicator Light will go off. The engine will continue to run but the red
Engine Overload Indicator Light will stay on and power will no longer
be supplied to connected electronic devices.
If the oil warning light does not come on and the engine

How to Correct
1.
Disconnect any electrical devices then stop the engine.
2.
Reduce the total wattage of connected electronic devices until it
is within the generator’s rated output.
3.
Inspect the Air Inlet and Control Panel for any blockage.
Remove blockage if found.
4.
Restart Engine.

Engine Economy Control
•
When the Engine Economy switch is turned to the “ON” position, the economy control unit automatically
determines the generator’s proper engine speed based on the connected electronic load. This results in superior
fuel economy and reduces noise.
•
When the Economy switch is turned to the “OFF” position, the engine runs at the rated speed of 4,100 r/min.
Note:
large starting current, such as a compressor.
The Economy switch must be turned to the “OFF” position when using electronic devices that require a
