DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU

IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

NEVER use a generator inside houses, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the house. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in your house.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,

move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning."

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

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 fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for expansion.

Always check for spilled fuel before operating.

Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.

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 “GENERATOR PREPARATION” section).

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

with an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system

NOTE: If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine switch to “ON” and then pull the recoil starter.

If the oil warning light (yellow) flickers for a few seconds, the engine oil is insufficient . Add oil and restart.

Overload indicator light (Red)

Fig.17

The overload indicator light (Red) comes

on when an overload of a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (Green) will go off and the overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will not stop running.

When the overload indicator light (Red) comes on and power generation stops, proceed as follows:

1.Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine.

2.Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the rated output.

3.Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit.

If any blockages are found, remove.

4.After checking, restart the engine.

NOTE: The overload indicator light (Red) may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor or a submergible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.

GENERATOR

PREPARATION

USING THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME

The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call for customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life.

Step 1- ADD OIL

The generator is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 0.37 quarts (0.35 liters). For general use (above 40° F), we recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.

Do not start the engine till fill with the sufficient engine oil.

Engine Oil Recommendations

Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications SJ, SL, or SM. (Synthetic oils may be used.) Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart (Fig.24) that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.

Fig.24

Engine Oil Replacemendations

To add oil, follow these steps:

1.Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Tilting the generator to assist in filling will cause oil to flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep generator level!

2.Remove the screws , and then remove the access panel .

Fig.25

12

3. Remove the dipstick from the engine. Insert the oil funnel. (Fig.26)

Fig.26

4. Add oil slowly to bring level to full. (Fig. 27).

5.To check the oil level: wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.

6.Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top of the dipstick (Fig.27). Do not over fill the crankcase. The generator is equipped with a low oil sensor and will not start if the amount of oil is in sufficient.

7.Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly before closing the access panel.

Fig.27 Oil Fill Opening, Dipstick and Oil Level

Step 2-ADD GASOLINE

DANGER:

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

Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane rating. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

To add gasoline, follow these steps:

1.Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

2.Unscrew fuel cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and

hard to unscrew.

3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank up to the red level. Red lineFuel level.

Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank is 1 US gallon. NOTE: Do

not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during use when the fuel warms up even with the fuel cap in place.

Fig.28

Fig.29

4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.

IMPORTANT:

• Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts.

13

Recommended fuel: Unleaded gasoline Fuel tank capacity: Total: 4.0L(1.06 US gal, 0.88 lmp gal)

Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.

Never use old gasoline.

Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.

Gasoline can age in the tank and make

starting difficult. Never store generator

for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.

• After fill the fuel, make sure the fuel tank cap is tightened securely.

Fig.30

• Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts.

NOTE: Fuel deteriorates over time. It may be DIFFICULT to start the engine if you use fuel which has been kept for more

than 30 days. Towards the end of the season, it is advisable to put only as much fuel in the tank as you need for each use, since it should be completely used up before storing the product. Empty remaining fuel from the tank and the CARBURETTOR when storing the product for over 30 days.

Step 3-GROUND THE

GENERATOR

WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in

electrocution.

Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the front control panel against a grounding wire. A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the earth. Wire and grounding rods are not included in generator contents.

Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician to check the area codes.

Fig.31

NOTE: After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.

STARTING THE GENERATOR

Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Preperation” section of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual please call customer service center.

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE.
