Notice Regarding Emissions: Engines certified to comply with California and U.S. EPA emission regulations for SORE (Small Off Road Equipment) are certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline and may include the following emission control systems: Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) (if equipped), and Engine Modifications (EM). Legal Requirements: Federal and/or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, and/or ordinances may apply to the intended use of this generator.
Chemicals: According to the State of California, the exhaust from this generator contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Flammable Gasoline: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline. • Do not operate this generator near open flame. • Do not smoke near this generator.
NOTE: DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL (e10) Usage: Consult a physician(s) before using this generator if using a pacemaker. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause a pacemaker to malfunction or fail. Caution is necessary when near the engine’s recoil starter. Usage: Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can be hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI-approved hearing protection when operating or working around the generator when it is running.
High Temperatures: This generator produces heat when in operation. Temperatures near the exhaust can exceed 150 Degrees Fahrenheit (65 Degrees Celsius). • Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe all warning placards on this generator denoting hot surfaces. • Allow this generator to cool for several minutes after use before touching the engine, muffler or other areas that are hot during operation and before storing indoors. • Hot exhaust may ignite some materials.
Usage: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life. • Use this generator only for its intended purpose. • Operate this generator only on a dry, level surface. Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved in an emergency. • Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices. • Promptly turn off any malfunctioning devices and disconnect them.
Usage: Avoid the use of extension cords if possible. If you choose to use them, be sure they are sized adequately to handle the flow of electricity. An undersized cord can overheat, short out and cause a fire.
FEATURES: •1.
This is a Gasoline Powered Invertor Generator that offers clean power for electronics. 1） ENGINE SWITCH The engine switch controls the ignition system. To Start generator, turn ignition switch ON. Then the engine can be started by sliding Choke lever to CHOKE then pull Recoil. Allow engine to run for a few seconds then slide the Choke Lever to RUN. To Stop generator, press ignition circuit to STOP. The engine will not run.
5） DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR The DC circuit protector turns off automatically when the load exceeds the generator rated output. Reduce the load to within specified generator rated output if the DC circuit protector turns off. 6） FUEL COCK The fuel cock is used to supply fuel from the tank to the carburetor. Turn ON when getting ready to start the generator. Turn OFF when finished using the generator. CHECK ENGINE FUEL l Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
CHECK ENGINE OIL Remove side panel, then remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level. Make sure the engine oil is at the upper level of the oil filler hole. Add oil as necessary. l WARNING: The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Fill with oil or it will not start. l Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in overfilling and damage to the engine l If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with suitable oil to upper level line.
USING ELECTRIC POWER AC APPLICATION (a) Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to the generator. (b) Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle. l Be sure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in. l Be sure the total load is within generator rated output. l Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE CHART Regular maintenance is most important for the best performance and safe operation. Pre-operation Item Spark Plug Remarks Initial 3 months 6 months 12 months (daily) or 20 Hr or 50Hr or100Hr or 300Hr l l Replace Oil filter Clean oil filter Air Filter Clean. Replace if necessary. Fuel Filter Clean fuel cock filter. Replace if l Check choke operation Valve Check and adjust when engine is cold.
Cooling Check fan damage. l system Starting Check recoil starter operation. l system Idle speed Checkandadjustengineidlespeed Fittings / Check all fittings and fasteners correct if Fasteners Crankcase breather Generator l l necessary. Check breather hose for cracks or l damage. Replace if necessary Check the pilot light comes on l ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT 1. Place the machine on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes.
l Be sure no foreign material enters the crankcase. l Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in overfilling and damage to the engine l Oil Drain Clean the oil filter every other 100 hr. WASHABLE AIR FILTER Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt induced through improperly installed, OIL FILTER improperly serviced, or inadequate elements damages and wears out engines. Keep the element always clean. 1.
FUEL TANK FILTER 1. Remove the fuel tank cap and filter. 2. Clean the filter with solvent. If damaged, replace. 3. Wipe the filter and insert it. Be sure the tank cap is tightened securely.
