1000W Generator General Precautions WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. DANGER Carbon Monoxide Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Carbon Monoxide 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.
Ownerʼs Manual General Precautions (contʼd) Gasoline and Oil (contʼd) • Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive. • Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors. • Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot.
1000W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Work Area • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Electrical Safety (cont’d) • All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable. • The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
00W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Personal Safety (cont’d) • Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position, and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use. • Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Servicing Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact All Power America immediately for a replacement. Generator service must be performed only qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow all appropriate instructions in this manual.
1000W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Installation (cont’d) • If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the generator and wiring conduit. • The generator weighs 28.6lbs. Two or more people should assist when moving or lifting this product. Never lift the generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Mechanical (cont’d) • Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any other reason. • Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Be aware that when engine parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly. • Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.
1000W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Extension Cord If an extension cord (not included) is used, make sure to use only UL approved cords having the correct gauge and length according to the following table: Nameplate Amps (@ full load) 0'-50' 0 - 5 16 AWG 5.1 - 8 16 AWG 8.
Owner’s Manual Battery This product does not need a battery.
1000W Generator Assembly No assembly required for this product.

CAUTION: PRIOR TO FIRST USING THE GENERATOR, THE ENGINE MUST BE FILLED WITH A HIGH QUALITY SAE 10W-30 GRADE ENGINE OIL. TO DO SO UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE ENGINEʼS OIL DIPSTICK LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. FILL THE ENGINEʼS CRANKCASE UNTIL THE OIL LEVEL IS LEVEL WITH THE UPPER MARKED LINE ON THE DIP STICK. THEN, SCREW THE DIPSTICK BACK INTO THE OIL FILL HOLE.
1000W Generator Operation (contʼd) Starting (Fig. 1) 1. Remove front cover. 2. Remove oil fill plug. 3. Fill with oil to top of fill hole. (see Fig. 1) 4. Replace fill plug. (Fig. 2) 5. Fill unit with fresh gas. (see Fig. 2) 6. Disconnect all electrical devices. (see Fig. 3) 7. Turn fuel cap to ON. 8. Turn fuel valve to ON position. (see Fig. 4) 9. Pull choke lever to START position. (see Fig. 5) 10. Turn power switch ON. (see Fig. 6) 11. Pull recoil starter. (see Fig. 7) (Fig. 3) 12.
Owner’s Manual Operation (cont’d) Powering 120 Volt AC Tools And Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (120V/AC @ 7.5 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.
1000W Generator Operation (cont’d) Powering 12 Volt DC tools and Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (12V/DC @ 5.0 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator. 2. Connect the power cord of a 12 VDC powered tool or equipment to the DC Terminals.
Ownerʼs Manual Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ENGINE POWER SWITCH (2) IS IN ITS “OFF” POSITION. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM THE ENGINE. AND ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE ENGINE AND GENERATOR TO COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, OR CLEANING. • Before each use, inspect the generator.
