SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY DEFINITIONS The words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE are used throughout this manual to highlight important information. Make sure that the meanings of this safety information is known to all who operate, perform maintenance on, or are near the generator. This safety alert symbol appears with most safety statements. It means attention, become alert, your safety is involved! Please read and follow the message that follows the safety alerts symbol.
SAFETY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CORRECT USE Example location to reduce risk of carbon monoxide poisoning • ONLY use outside and downwind, far away from windows, doors and vents.
SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Never use the generator to power medical support equipment. • DO NOT operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. • DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged. • All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be double-insulated.

SAFETY CO SENSOR The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator when the engine is running. If increasing levels of CO gas are detected, the CO Sensor automatically shuts down the engine. The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources used in the area of operation.
COMPONENTS COMPONENTS CONTROL PANEL COMPONENTS 1. 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Duplex NEMA 5-20R Receptacle: Receptacle can supply a maximum of 20 Amps. 2. 20 Amp AC Circuit Breaker: Circuit breaker limits the current that can be delivered through the NEMA 5-20R receptacle to 20 Amps. 3. 25 Amp AC Circuit Breaker: Circuit breaker limits the current that can be delivered through the NEMA 5-20R receptacle to 25 Amps 4.

ASSEMBLY CARTON CONTENTS 1. Carefully open the carton. 2. Remove and save the instruction manual, oil bottle, oil funnel, spark plug socket wrench, and screwdriver. 3. Remove and discard the packing materials. 4. Unfold the top of the plastic bag enclosing the generator. 5. Carefully cut the vertical corners of the carton to access the generator. 6. Recycle or dispose of the packaging materials properly.
ASSEMBLY FUEL FILLING THE FUEL TANK WARNING Fire and explosion hazard. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged. DANGER Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Fill only to the red fill ring located in the in-tank fuel screen filter. Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine causing a fire or explosion hazard. DANGER Fire and explosion hazard. Never refuel the generator while the engine is running.
OPERATION OPERATION GENERATOR LOCATION Read and understand all safety information before starting the generator. DANGER Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. DANGER Asphyxiation hazard. Place the generator in a wellventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
OPERATION BREAK-IN PERIOD For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated running watts (1500 watts) during the first five hours of operation. 3. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until you feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly. Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and cool and help seat the piston rings.
OPERATION ECO MODE OVERLOAD RESET NOTICE Always start the generator with ECO MODE OFF. Allow the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY LED to illuminate before switching ECO MODE ON. The generator will automatically switch OFF all AC output to protect the generator if overloaded or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance. However, the engine will continue to run. Marginal overloading that temporarily illuminates the OVERLOAD LED may shorten the service life of the generator.
OPERATION POWER MANAGEMENT GENERATOR CAPACITY NOTICE DO NOT overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. The total power requirements (Volts x Amps = Watts) of all appliances connected must be considered.
OPERATION EXTENSION CORDS WARNING Asphyxiation hazard. Extension cords running directly into the home increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through any openings. If an extension cord running directly into your home is used to power indoor items, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to people inside the home. Always use battery-powered carbon monoxide detector (s) that meet current UL 2034 safety standards when running the generator. Regularly check the detector (s) battery.
OPERATION PARALLEL OPERATION WARNING Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is running. CAUTION Correct connection of the left and right cables is very important when the generators are used with a transfer switch to suppy power to a building. To avoid serious personal injury or damage to electrical devices, including the generators, do not try to power an electrical system in a building without using an approved transfer switch.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend the service life of the generator. Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions as noted below. Before Each Use Check engine oil After First 25 Hours or First Month Change engine oil After 50 Hours or Every 6 Months Change engine oil1 Clean air filter2 WARNING Fire hazard.
MAINTENANCE out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the filter. 7. Install the foam air filter in the housing and reinstall the air cleaner cover. 8. Install the engine service panel. ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK CAUTION Avoid skin contact with engine oil. Wear protective clothing and equipment. Wash all exposed skin with soap and water. 5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
MAINTENANCE 6. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill opening until oil the level is between the L and H marks on the dipstick. Stop frequently to check the oil level. DO NOT overfill. Spark plug gap: 0.024 - 0.032 in. (0.60 - 0.80 mm) Maximum oil capacity: 0.53 US qt (0.5 L) 7. Replace the dipstick and hand-tighten. 8. Connect the spark plug wire and install the oil access cover. NOTICE DO NOT pollute.
MAINTENANCE STORAGE DRAINING THE FLOAT BOWL Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free operation and generator longevity. NOTICE 1. Turn the fuel tank valve to the OFF position. 2. Locate the drain screw on the bottom of the carburetor float bowl. Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate, causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the engine.
MAINTENANCE VALVE CLEARANCE NOTICE Checking and adjusting valve clearance must be done when the engine is cold. 1. Remove the rocker arm cover and carefully remove the gasket. If the gasket is torn or damaged, it must be replaced. 2. Remove the spark plug so the engine can be rotated more easily. 3. Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) by pulling the recoil handle slowly. Looking through the spark plug hole, the piston should be at the top (both valves are closed). 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Engine will not start Engine starts, then shuts down Engine lacks power Engine runs rough or bogs when load applied POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Out of fuel. Refuel. Bad fuel, generator stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline. Drain the fuel tank. Refuel with fresh gasoline. Dirty air filter. Clean the air filter. Low engine oil level stopped generator. If low oil LED illuminated, turn battery switch to the OFF position.
