ENGLISH 100263 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.
100263 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. 1. 2. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
ENGLISH 100263 ASSEMBLY Add Fuel (Gas) 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.
100263 ENGLISH ASSEMBLY Connecting the Propane (LPG) Cylinder 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connecting LPG Cylinder Cont’d. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the inverter is in the 12 o’clock (vertical) position. (A) Using your fingers, slide the outer barrel back on the LPG quick connect hose fitting (B). While the outer barrel is in the back position, insert the LPG hose (included) into the inlet and release the outer barrel. The barrel will automatically return and lock the hose in the inlet.
ENGLISH 100263 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.
100263 ENGLISH Starting the Inverter OPERATION Gasoline CAUTION NOTE If the ignition switch is held down in the “Start” position longer than 5 seconds it could damage the starter. The generator will NOT START with gasoline without battery charge or an appropriate connection. 1. NOTE The supplied 12V 7AH battery does re-charge while the engine is running, but it is also recommended that the battery be fully charged at least once per month.
ENGLISH 100263 OPERATION LPG 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15 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 selector switch to the “Vertical” position and connect LPG hose. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position.
100263 ENGLISH OPERATION Economy Control Switch Connecting Electrical Loads The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at normal speed continuously. 1. 2.
ENGLISH 100263 OPERATION Do Not Overload Generator Stopping the Engine Capacity 1. Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes. 1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same time. 2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of power you need to keep your items running. 3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2.
100263 ENGLISH OPERATION Operation at High Altitude Overload Operation 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. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
ENGLISH 100263 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Oil Cont’d. 8. 9. Never operate a damaged or defective generator. Reinstall the maintenance cover and tighten the cover screws. Dispose of used oil at an approved waste management facility. NOTE WARNING Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
100263 ENGLISH MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE Air Filter Adjustments 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The air-fuel mixture is not adjustable. Tampering with the governor can damage your generator and your electrical devices and will void your warranty. CPE recommends that you contact our service line at 1-877-338-0999 for all other service and/or adjustment needs. Remove the maintenance cover. Locate the air filter plastic cover. Unsnap the locking hinge on the cover. Remove the old filter.
ENGLISH 100263 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE Generator Battery Generator Maintenance This product is equipped with an automatic battery charging circuit. The battery will receive charging voltage when the engine is running. The battery will maintain a proper charge if the unit is used on a regular basis (about once every two weeks). If it is used less frequently, the battery should be connected to a trickle charger (included) or battery maintainer to keep the battery properly charged.
100263 ENGLISH MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE Storage The generator should be started at least once every 14 days and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes. For longer term storage, please follow these guidelines. Generator Storage 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator. Run the generator for a few minutes so the treated fuel cycles through the fuel system and carburetor. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
