Notice Regarding Emissions

Engines that are certified to comply with California and U.S. EPA emission regulations for
SORE (Small Off Road Equipment), are certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline,
and may include the following emission control systems: (EM) Engine Modifications and
(TWC) Three-Way Catalyst (if so equipped).

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.

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 heat when running. Temperatures near

exhaust can exceed 150°F (65°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 areas 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 devices.

·Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.

·Do not exceed the Wattage capa city of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices

than the unit can handle (see "PRECAUTIONS-OVERLOADING THE GENERAT OR").

·Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.

·Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.

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

electrocution.

·ALWA YS ground the generator before using it (see the "Grounding 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 must comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can
create a backed, 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.

In addition to the above safety notices, please familiarize yourself with the safety and

hazard markings on the generator.

pulled into the engine.

(2) Choke lever- Adjusts the amount of air let into the engine.
(3) Fuel Gauge- Indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.

(4) Fuel Cap- Access to the fuel tank for adding fuel.
(5) Circuit Breaker- Reset switch that protects the generator from electrical overload.
(6) 120/ 240 Volt AC Receptacle- Use to connect electrical devices that run 120 and/or

PREPARING THE GENERA TOR FOR USE

Using the Generator for the First Time

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 1. When filling the engine with oil in the
future, please refer to this chart.

Model number PD4000

Engine oil capacity

20 fluid oz.

Figure 1- Generator Oil Capacity

CAUTION:

· Do not apply engine oil with additives or
2-stroke gasoline engine oil, as they haven’t

enough lubrication, which may shorten the
engine’s service life.

·Engine oil recommended: SAE 10W-30.
As viscosity varies with regions and
temperatures, so the lubricant has to be
selected in accordance with our
recommendation.

To add oil, follow these steps:
l. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 2.

3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil, as found in figure 1, into the crankcase.
