100297 ENGLISH Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory without oil and fuel. 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. Assembly Install the Support Leg 1. Attach the support leg to the generator frame with flange bolts (M8x16) and flange lock nuts (M8). 2.
ENGLISH 100297 Assembly Add Engine Oil CAUTION 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. NOTE The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing. NOTE The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil. 1.
100297 ENGLISH Add Fuel (Gas) 1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. 2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel. 3. Clean the area around the fuel cap. 4. Remove the fuel cap. 5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
ENGLISH 100297 Assembly Connecting Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder 1. Make sure the fuel valve on the generator is in the off position. 2. Attach the LPG hose (included) to the LPG hose connector on the side of the generator and tighten with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench. Important: DO NOT use tape or any other type of sealant to seal LPG hose connection. 3. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve. 4. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG connector on the cylinder and hand tighten.
100297 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. Generators should be on a flat, level surface at all times.
ENGLISH 100297 Operation Fuel Selector Switch Starting the Engine in ambient > 15°C (59°F) The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the generator is designed specifically to choose between the fuel source desired, Gas or Propane (LPG). To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to either the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel valve of the fuel selected. The LPG fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch cover. The gas fuel valve (B) is to the right of the switch cover.
100297 ENGLISH Operation Starting the Engine Cont’d. LPG 1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface. 2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on. 3. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob. 4. Turn the LPG fuel valve to the “ON” position. 5. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position. 6. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position. 7.
ENGLISH 100297 Operation Do Not Overload Generator Capacity 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.
100297 ENGLISH Operation Stopping the Engine Operation at High Altitude 1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on. 2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator. 3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position if operating by gas. 4. Turn the LPG cylinder knob to the “CLOSE” or off position if operating by LPG. 5.
Operation GFCI Your generator is equipped with two (2) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) duplexes. In the event of a ground fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the flow of electricity and prevent serious injury. The green indicating light on the receptacle will also turn off. Press the reset button located on the front of the receptacle to restore flow of electricity. (A) The green indicating light will also turn back on. GFCI does not protect against circuit overloads.
100297 ENGLISH The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective generator. WARNING Maintenance and Storage Oil Cont’d. NOTE 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. Tampering with the factory set governor will void your warranty. WARNING Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
ENGLISH 100297 Maintenance and Storage Spark Arrester Maintenance Schedule 1. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester. 2. Remove the three screws holding the cover plate which retains the end of the spark arrester to the muffler. 3. Remove the spark arrester screen. 4. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen with a wire brush. 5. Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged. 6.
100297 ENGLISH Maintenance and Storage Storage Generator Battery 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. This product is equipped with an automatic battery charging circuit. The battery will receive charging voltage when the engine is running.
