1. SAFETY DANGER! USING A GENERATOR INDOORS CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. THE ENGINE EXHAUST FROM THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. 1.1 OPERATOR SAFETY WARNING! Always perform an oil, fuel and air filter check before starting the engine. Properly clean and maintain the equipment. Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and dependable service. Before operating the generator, read the user guide carefully.
Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after the engine has been shut down. 1.2 AC SAFETY WARNING! Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord: Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or power cords can lead to an electrical shock. Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem.
maintenance. Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air. Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can damage the generator set. When working with batteries, ventilate the area, use safety glasses, do not smoke. Always disconnect the negative first and reconnect it last. Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine oil. Always stop the generator set before removing the oil filler cap.
2. LEARN ABOUT YOUR GENERATOR This section will show you how to identify key parts of your generator. Going over the terminology below will make sure we’re on the same page. 2.

2.3 CONTROL FUNCTIONS EcoMode (Economy Control Switch) Turn EcoMode ON to minimize fuel consumption. In this mode the engine will dynamically meet the demand of the electrical load and will automatically go into an idle state if all loads are disconnected. Before connecting or removing a high load device to the generator, turn EcoMode OFF until that device has reached running power. When EcoMode is OFF, the engine runs at full speed.
AC Circuit Breaker While the generator is running, the breakers should be in the ON position. If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop out to the OFF position. Reduce the electrical load on the generator and push the button back to the ON position. DC Circuit Breaker The DC Circuit breaker automatically shuts off when the charging circuit is overloaded. If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop out to the OFF position.
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Set the generator on a level surface and the power switch to OFF. 3.1 PREPARE THE AIR CLEANER Clean and oil the air filter before your first use. Check the maintenance schedule for a complete cleaning guide. 1 2 Air Filter 1. Loosen three screws and use the tab to loosen the top of the panel then work your way around the panel. This may require some force. 2. Unscrew the air filter cover and remove the filter. 3.

This could result in overfilling and damage to the engine. Use high quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed API standard SG, SF, SAE ratings with strong detergents. Using nondetergent or 2-stroke oil could shorten the engine’s working life. Do not mix different engine oils.
3.3 ADD FUEL WARNING! GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. REFUEL IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED. DO NOT SMOKE OR ALLOW OPEN FLAMES OR SPARKS IN THE AREA WHERE THE GENERATOR IS BEING REFUELED OR WHERE GASOLINE IS STORED. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL FUEL WHEN REFUELING. WIPE UP ANY SPILLED GASOLINE AND LET THE AREA DRY BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. GASOLINE SUBSTITUTES SUCH AS GASOHOL ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
4. STARTING THE ENGINE DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE USING A GENERATOR INDOORS WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. 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. EVEN IF YOU CANNOT SMELL THE EXHAUST, YOU COULD BE BREATHING CO. NEVER USE A GENERATOR INSIDE A HOME, GARAGE, CRAWLSPACE, OR OTHER PARTLY ENCLOSED AREA, DEADLY LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BUILD UP IN THESE AREAS.
4.1 STARTING YOUR GENERATOR WARNING! BEFORE USING THE GENERATOR, A GROUND WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUND TERMINAL. THE GROUND TERMINAL IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT PANEL. BEFORE USING THE GROUND TERMINAL CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. NOTE Before starting the engine disconnect all devices from the outlets on the front panel. Return the starter grip slowly by hand, do not let it snap back.
Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation At high altitudes, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Fuel consumption will increase and performance will decrease. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. If using the generator at high altitudes, change the main-nozzle or adjust the idling-screw of the carburetor.
5. GENERATOR USE WARNING! Be sure to ground the generator when the connected electrical appliance is grounded. Do not connect to the building’s electrical system. Doing so may result in electrical shocks and fire. To prolong engine life, do not exceed the rated running wattage. Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe. When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber sheathed flexible cable (according to IEC245 or equivalent standards).
5.2 DC APPLICATIONS The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12V batteries only. In DC operation, turn EcoMode OFF. NOTE The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If used at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC. (AC: 1600W, DC: 5A) Motor vehicles require more than their rated wattage when starting. Connecting the charging cable: 1. If connecting to a vehicle battery, disconnect the vehicle battery ground cable from the negative (-) battery terminals. 2.
5.3 AC APPLICATIONS 1 2 3 4 1. Start engine and make sure the output indicator light (READY) is on. 2. Confirm all electrical appliances are switched off, and connect the appliance plugs to the generator receptacle. 3. Turn on the appliances. 4. Turn EcoMode ON. NOTE Confirm all electrical appliances are in good working condition before connecting them to the generator.
6. STOPPING THE ENGINE OPEN CLOSED 1 2 3 4 Normal Operation: 1. Switch off the connected electrical appliances, and disconnect from the generator. 2. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 3. Turn the fuel shutoff to the CLOSED position. 4. Turn the fuel cap vent lever to the OFF position. NOTE Make sure the fuel cap vent lever and engine switch are in the OFF position when stopping, transporting, and storing the generator.
7.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Maintain the generator according to the maintenance schedule in this section. For commercial use, utilize hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals. NOTE Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. These items should be serviced by an authorized service center, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient. Refer to manual for service procedures.
7.2 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Emission Source Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons. It is very important to control the emissions of NOx and hydrocarbons as they are a major contributor to air pollution. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is a source of pollution as well.
Replacement parts and accessories The parts making up the emission control system in your product’s engine have been specifically approved and certified by the regulatory agencies. You can trust that the replacement parts supplied by customer service have been manufactured to the same production standard as the original parts. The use of replacement parts or accessories which are not designed by – may negatively affect the engine emission performance.

7.4 CLEANING THE AIR-FILTER WARNING! USING GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT AN AIR FILTER. 1 2 Air Filter A dirty air filter will restrict air flow into the carburetor. Clean and maintain the air filter regularly, especially in dusty areas. NOTE NEVER RUN THE GENERATOR WITHOUT AN AIR FILTER, DOING SO WILL QUICKLY DEGRADE THE ENGINE. 1. Unscrew and remove the engine access panel. 2. Unscrew and remove the air filter assembly. 3.
7.5 SPARK PLUG SERVICE NOTE DO NOT RINSE SPARK PLUG IN WATER. FOLLOW GUIDELINES AND BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE SPARK PLUG. 0.60-0.70mm (0.024-0.028in) Recommended spark plug: BPR6HS Check the spark plug gap and clean the carbon deposits at the bottom of the spark plug. TIGHTEN 1/2 TURN WHEN INSTALLING A NEW SPARK PLUG. TIGHTEN 1/8 TO 1/4 TURN WHEN RE-INSTALLING AN OLD SPARK PLUG. 1. Remove the spark plug access panel. 2. Remove the spark plug cap. 3.
