SAFETY RULES is For your safety read this manual carefully. Become familiar with the proper operation, care, and maintenance of your Lifan generator. Rapid recoil of starter cord (kickback) may pull hand and arm forward toward engine at a rapid rate. The safety and alert symbol ( A ) is used with a signal word (CAUTION, DANGER, WARNING), a pictorial and/or safety message to alert you to hazards. CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided could be harmful.
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL Turn generator off and let it cool for at least three minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly in order to relieve pressure in the fuel tank. Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors. Do not excessively inhale fuel vapors. Keep away from open flames or sparks and other sources of ignition. Do NOT smoke while filling fuel tank. Do NOT overfill tank.
WARNING! While engine is running temperature may exceed 150°F (65°C). Server burns may occur. Exhaust heat/gasses can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire. Do NOT touch hot surfaces and do avoid exhaust gasses. Allow generator to cool before touching. Keep at least 7 ft. (183cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead clear. Reflective exhaust heat may damage fuel tank causing fire.

Pre-Operating Instructions: Assembly 15
Pre-Operating Instructions: Battery Specifications (Electric Start (E) Models Only) The Battery is NOT included with your Energy Storm Generator. These units require an Acid Cell Battery. This battery is used in many applications, such as lawnmowers, ATV’s, motorcycles, etc. and can be found at many retailers and dealers including where you purchased this Power Equipment Product. Use the “Battery Specifications” chart below to attain the specifications of the necessary battery.
Pre-Operating Instructions: Generator Setup CAUTION: Any attempt to start the generator before it has been properly serviced may result in engine failure and void warranty. ADD ENGINE OIL: Refer to the diagrams below. 1. Place generator on level surface. 2. Clean area around Oil Hole Dipstick/Plug & Unscrew Oil Hole Dipstick/Plug. 3. Fill with appropriate type and amount. Refer to Chart below for recommended oil type based on Environmental temperature.
Pre--Operating Instructions: Generator Setup (Continued) WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING FUEL Turn generator off and let it cool for a minimum of three minutes before removing fuel cap. Turn and remove cap slowly in order to relieve residual tank pressure. Always fill the fuel tank with the unit outdoors. DO NOT overfill tank. Allow room for fuel expansion.
Pre--Operating Instructions: Generator Setup CAUTION: Alcohol-blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) will attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel stabilizer or drained if the generator will not be started for thirty (30) days. If using a fuel stabilizer, follow the manufacturer’s recommended instructions for use.
Operation of Generator HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR WARNING! Running generator gives off carbon monoxide gas. It is odorless, colorless, and highly toxic. Breathing carbon monoxide gas can leads to fainting, nausea or may result in death. Only operate generator outdoors. Prevent exhaust gas from entering, through windows doors or ventilation intakes, any confined areas. DO NOT operate generator inside any enclosed or roofed areas.
Operation of Generator HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR ELECTRICT START MODELS: 5. For Electric Start Models, using provided key, turn the key switch to the “ON” position, for models with the rocker switch start, push the rocker switch to the “ON” position. Hold key switch in the “START” position or the rocker switch until engine starts or for NO MORE than 10 engine rotations. If the engine does NOT start, wait 15 seconds and repeat starting procedures. 6.
Operation of Generator HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM: This model is equipped with a Low Oil Alert System designed to avoid engine damage from insufficient oil in the crankcase. The Low Oil Alarm System will stop the engine automatically before the oil level in the crankcase drops below safe operating levels. STOPPING THE GENERATOR: Refer to Controls and Features section for diagram. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN 1. Turn the Fuel Valve to “OFF” position NORMAL SHUTDOWN 1.
Operation of Generator HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR USAGE IN HIGH ALTITUDE REGIONS: In regions with high altitude, the standard carburetor produces overly dense combinations of fuel and air, which result in decreased engine performance and increased fuel consumption. To maintain high engine performance at high altitudes, install a high altitude carburetor main spray nozzle and re- adjust the adjusting screw for idle speed.
Storing the Unit STORAGE Before long term storage of your power equipment product, typically 30 days or more, perform the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 24 Set the fuel cock (valve) to the “OFF” position. Let the unit continue to run until it stops itself, burning all of the fuel in the fuel system. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position. Drain the engine oil in accordance with the “Oil Change Procedures” in this Owner’s Manual’s Maintenance section.

CONVERTING AMPS OR HORSEPOWER INTO WATTS Watts = Amps x Volts Running Watts* = Horsepower x 932** (for motors) Add a 10% correction factor to your totals to help overcome this uncertainty. If your customer plans to operate devices that use electric motors, list both the starting and running requirements of each. Starting requirements of some devices maybe significantly higher than their running requirements. This higher demand must be considered when estimating your power needs.
