Assembly 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator ASSEMBLY Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation. If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your generator, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. Unpacking 1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface. 2.
Assembly 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the generator. NOTICE Check oil level often during the break-in period.
Assembly 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 7. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve back on and recheck the fitting with the soap and water solution.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Grounding OPERATION Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock. Generator Location WARNING WARNING Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock. NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage, basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment, including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 4. Turn EZ Start dial clockwise to the full “CHOKE” position. WARNING Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Keep all objects a minimum of 5 feet (1.5m) away from the generator at all times. Heat from the muffler surface and exhaust gas stream can ignite combustible materials. WARNING If you must operate in rain or damp locations, DO NOT operate without proper protection of the electrical components.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Starting the Engine: Propane (LPG) NOTICE 1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface. For gasoline starting in standard ambient temperature >59°F (15°C): Keep EZ Start dial in “CHOKE” position for three pulls of the recoil cord. If generator does not start after three pulls, rotate the EZ Start dial to the “RUN” position for the next three pulls. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling and engine flooding.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 6. Turn the EZ Start dial to the propane “RUN” position. NOTICE Accumulation of frost on LPG cylinder and regulators is common during operation and normally is not an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the cylinder to the generator engine it expands. The amount of frost that forms can be affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount of LPG being used, the humidity of the air and other operating conditions.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Connecting Electrical Loads 4. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Eco (Economy) Mode 3. Turn the fuel vent lever to the “OFF” position. The Eco Mode button can be activated to turn on economy control in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is connected.
Operation 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Operation at High Altitude 4. Turn the EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the “STOP” position. The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.
Maintenance 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator MAINTENANCE Changing the Engine Oil Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors. Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification to select the proper grade for your operating environment. 1.
Maintenance 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 6. Refer to the spark plug types in Specifications when replacing the plug. NOTICE Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking. 7. Firmly re-install the plug. 8. Attach the spark plug cable to the spark plug. 9. Reinstall the spark plug access cover.
Maintenance 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Cleaning the Spark Arrestor The air-fuel mixture is not adjustable. Tampering with the governor can damage your generator and your electrical devices and will void your warranty. Contact our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999 for all other service and/or adjustment needs. 1. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrestor. 2. Remove the 6 screws holding the cover plate on the muffler side of the generator.
Storage 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator STORAGE 6. After the engine stops, turn the EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the “STOP” position. WARNING 7. After fuel has run out and the engine has stopped, allow the engine to cool. To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator during periods of storage, the following precautions should be followed: 8. Remove maintenance cover. 9. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of oil into the cylinder.
Storage 200960 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Removing from Storage NOTICE If the generator has been improperly stored or ran using LPG only for a period longer than 30 days with ethanol blended gasoline in the gasoline tank and/or carburetor, all fuel must be drained and the carburetor must be thoroughly cleaned of ethanol build up. This process involves technically advanced tasks. For assistance please call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999.
