Equipment Description The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is floating ( ), which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins. Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring a grounded neutral may not operate properly from this generator. Earthing of the generator is not required.

Operation Step 1: Safe Location Before starting the portable generator there are two equally important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed. Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment, such as a portable generator, contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Operation Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Fire WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury. • Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke. • Do not place portable generator in manner other than shown. N o R tf ep o r ro du ct io n • Portable generator must be at least 1.5 m from any structure, overhang, trees, shrubs, or vegetation over 30.5 cm in height.
Operation Step 2: Oil and Fuel 1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface. 2. Loosen the three maintenance cover screws and remove the side maintenance cover. WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury. • Do not refuel or move during operation. • Do not smoke during refueling. • Turn engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. 3. Clean area around oil fill and remove dipstick. 4.
Operation Step 3: Generator Start Up NOTICE Always have QPT switch OFF (0) when starting or stopping generator or when using DC USB ports. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions: 1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface. NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may cause the unit to shut down. 2. Pull choke control out to close choke ( ). Overload Reset Choke Control Engine Switch 3. Turn engine switch to ON (I) position. 5.
Operation Generator Capacity Power Management 1. Select the items you will power at the same time. See following list for typical wattages.
Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning Maintenance Schedule Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Maintenance 5. If needed, using oil funnel, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the full mark (top hole) on dipstick. Do not overfill. NOTICE Overfilling with oil could cause the engine to not start, or hard starting. • Do not overfill. • If over the full mark (top hole) on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil level to full mark on dipstick. 6. Replace and tighten dipstick. 7. Replace the side maintenance cover and hand tighten the three maintenance cover screws.
Maintenance Service Spark Plug Changing the spark plug will help your engine to start easier and run better. 1. Loosen the three maintenance cover screws and remove the side maintenance cover. 2. Clean area around spark plug and remove spark plug boot. Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester screen.
