INTRODUCTION |
This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product, making it easy to maintain and operate.
DANGER:
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be properly grounded. The nut and ground terminal on the frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8 ft. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 ft. down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be “Double Insulated.”
It is recommended to:
1.Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.
2.Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the generator is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 homes, 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 when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
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:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below could result in electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
National Electric Code requires generator to be grounded to an approved earth ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for this product that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless the generator and transfer switch have been properly installed and the electrical output has been verified by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.
Do not start or operate the engine in a confined space, building, near open windows, or in other unventilated space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or death.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet away.
Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while barefoot.
Do not operate generator when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
Do not touch bare wire or receptacles.
Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool and drain fuel from the unit.
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet weather.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the generator .
Empty fuel tank, turn the engine/choke lever to the off position and restrain the unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.
Allow engine to cool for five minutes before refueling.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Position the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before refueling.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and power supply cords connected to it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing back-up power to the home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading to generator failure.

NOTICE:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid state applications.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps.
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This is the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the items running. See the wattage reference chart at right.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

ELECTRICAL
POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to the generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:
1.With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described later in this manual.
2.Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.
3.Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4.Plug in and turn on the next load.
5.Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity as previously described.
NOTICE:
Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity may damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

OPERATION
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 homes, 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 when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
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.
DANGER:
Failure to properly ground generator can result in electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit. National Electric Code requires generator to be properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an electrician for local grounding requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
This generator is designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools, and motor loads.
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

nIf level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.
nReplace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and shaking gently to combine.
NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer directly into the generator’s fuel tank.
nReplace and secure the fuel tank cap.
nStart and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
OXYGENATED FUELS
NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of federal law and will damage the unit and void your warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentage of oxygenates stated below are not covered under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85 are not.
CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
