ENGLISH 100261 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 help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton 1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface. 2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator. 3.
100261 ENGLISH Add Engine Oil ASSEMBLY Add Engine Oil Cont’d. CAUTION Degrees Celsiusº (Outside) DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as a result of failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty. Full Synthetic 5W-30 NOTE The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil. Degrees Fahrenheitº (Outside) 1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface. 2.
ENGLISH 100261 ASSEMBLY Add Fuel 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. DO NOT mix oil with fuel. Clean the area around the fuel cap. Remove the fuel cap. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
100261 ENGLISH OPERATION Generator Location Grounding NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility. Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional rules and regulations.
ENGLISH 100261 OPERATION Electric and Recoil Start 1. 2. 3. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position. Electric and Recoil Start Cont’d. 8. 9. within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
100261 ENGLISH OPERATION Manual Choke Start Manual Choke Start Cont’d. If the battery is dead or not able to produce enough current to power the push button choke, the choke itself can be operated manually to help start the engine. To manually choke and start the inverter, follow these steps: 1. Loosen the screws and remove the maintenance cover. (A) A NOTE Keep choke lever in “Choke” (right) position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter.
ENGLISH 100261 OPERATION Connecting Electrical Loads 12V DC Outlet 1. The 12V DC outlet can be used with the supplied charge cable and USB charger and other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs. The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products. Confirm your accessory input voltage range is at least 12-24V DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Economy mode switch to the “OFF” position. 2.
100261 ENGLISH OPERATION Do Not Overload Generator Operation at High Altitude Capacity The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and airfuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine.
ENGLISH 100261 OPERATION Wireless Set Button Parallel Operation The wireless set button is a feature that lets the user sync remotes to the generator. One can set up to two remote controls or reset a remote control with the generator. To reset a remote control or sync two remote controls follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. 2. Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position. 3.
