Economy Control Switch (EcoMode) Turning EcoMode to ON is recommended for minimizing fuel consumption. In this mode the engine will dynamically meet the demand of the current electrical load and will automatically go into an idle state if all electrical loads are disconnected. Before connecting or removing a high load device to the generator, turn EcoMode to OFF until that device has reached running power. When EcoMode is OFF, the engine runs at full speed.
Output and Overload Indicator In normal operation, the output indicator light (green) will remain on. If the generator is overloaded (producing more than 2800W) or a connected appliance has short-circuited, the output indicator light will turn off and the overload indicator light will turn on. In this case, the engine will continue running but the AC power will disable within 0~30min.
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Set the generator on a level surface and the power switch to STOP. 3.1) Checking the Oil Level 1. Unscrew and remove the oil maintenance panel. 2. Unscrew the oil cap and clean the dipstick. 3. Check the oil level by reinserting the oil cap without rotating it. Remove the oil cap and examine the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is at or below the minimum oil level, refill the oil to the maximum oil level mark. 4. Reinsert the oil cap and tighten securely.
■■ To avoid the inconvenience of unexpected stopping, the engine oil level should be checked as often as possible. ■■ Use 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed API standard SG, SF, SAE ratings. Effective Viscosity Range of Engine Oils 15W-50 10W-40 10W-30 5W-30 -30 -20 -20 0 -10 0 20 10 40 20 60 30 80 40 100 50 °C 120 °F 3.2) Checking the Fuel Level • Only use unleaded gasoline (Research Octane 91 or higher, Pump Octane 86 or higher).

7.1) 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.
7.2) Change Oil Drain the oil rapidly and completely while the engine is still warm. Bung Oil Maintenance Panel Oil Drain Bolt 1. Loosen screws of the oil maintenance cover, and remove the cover. 2. Remove the oil dipstick and the bottom casing’s rubber bung. 3. Place oil collection pan under oil drain bolt. 4. Remove the oil drain bolt, and drain oil into the oil collection pan completely. 5. Reinstall the oil drain bolt. Max Oil Level Oil Transfer Tool Oil Cap and Dipstick Max Oil Level 6.
NOTE ■■ For conforming to the environment requirement, the used oil will be put into a sealed container and then be transported to the service station for proper disposal. Do not throw it into the trash or pour it on the ground. 7.3) Air Filter Service A dirty air filter will restrict air flow into the carburetor. Clean and maintain the air cleaner regularly, especially in dusty areas.
1. Unscrew and remove the air filter maintenance panel. 2. Unscrew and remove the air filter assembly. 3. Remove the foam filter. 4. If the foam element is dirty, clean it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry thoroughly, or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry. 5.
