Assembly 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator ASSEMBLY Install the Wheel Kit Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation. CAUTION The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use. 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. Install the Wheels 1.
Assembly 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator Install the Handle NOTICE 1. Place the handle (F) over the mounting channel on the frame. The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing. 2. Secure the handle to the frame using the four flange bolts (G). NOTICE G The recommended oil type for typical use is 10W-30 automotive oil.
Assembly 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator NOTICE Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking. NOTICE Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals. 3. Fuel gauge on top of tank will read “F” when full of gasoline and “E” when tank is empty and needs to be refilled.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator – Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional. WARNING Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while filling. Neutral Bonded to Frame* – Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator Electric Start WARNING 1. Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position. Release as the engine begins to start. If the engine fails to start within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to start the engine again. During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become hot.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator 2. Pull choke button to “CHOKE” position. NOTICE For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient temperature > 86°F (30°C), keep the choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, press choke to the “RUN” position for 3 more pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator 5. Plug in and turn on the next item. WARNING 6. Allow the engine to stabilize. Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s power lines or to another power source may be against the law. In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could damage your generator and appliances and could cause serious injury or even death to you or a utility worker who may be working on nearby power lines.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator Battery Charging 1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (included) to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery terminal. 2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle of the generator. 3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+) battery terminal. Eco Mode ON 4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the black (–) battery terminal.
Operation 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to identify the carburetor model.

Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification to select the proper grade for your operating environment. 1.
Maintenance 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator 4. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. 3. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not worn to produce the spark required for ignition. 4. Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.028-0.031 in. (0.7-0.8 mm). SPARK PLUG GAP 5. Refer to the spark plug types in Specifications when replacing the plug. * See your model’s parts list for specified type of spark arrestor. 6.
Storage 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator STORAGE Maintenance Schedule Follow the service intervals indicated in the following maintenance schedule. DANGER Service your generator more frequently when operating in adverse conditions. Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator.
Storage 100520 - 8750W Portable Inverter Generator Removing from Storage If the generator has been improperly stored for a long period of time with gasoline in the gasoline tank and/or carburetor, all fuel must be drained and the carburetor must be thoroughly cleaned. This process involves technically advanced tasks. For assistance please call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999.
