EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION & KNOWING YOUR GENERATOR
Please read this manual and follow the procedures covered in this manual. Become familiar with the
generators functions, applications, and limitations.
Below is a diagram of the locations of the various controls and functions of the generator.
WARNING: DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage / amperage capacity. Our products are continuously
being changed and improved. Every effort has been made to ensure that information in the manual is
accurate and up to date. However, we reserve the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the product
and this manual at any time without prior notice.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In order to ensure safety for the consumer, please carefully follow instructions on
being careful with the generators.
Operate the generator ONLY outdoors. Never run the generator indoors as the
engine gives off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Inhaling carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. Also, keep the
generator at least 3 feet away from flammable matter for adequate ventilation.
DANGER: Always properly ground the generator. Failing to do so can result in
electrocution, particularly if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.

5
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHORT CIRCUIT
Be sure to notify the utility company when using the generator for backup power. Use approved transfer
equipment to isolate the generator from electric utility. In highly conductive area such as metal decking or
steel work, use a ground circuit fault interrupter. Never touch the generator if the generator is wet. Also,
never touch the generator if your hand is wet. Never operate your generator if the weather conditions call for
any type of precipitation such as rain, snow, or fog.
PREVENTION FROM ACCIDENTAL BURNS
Never touch the muffler and its cover when the engine is running. Never touch the muffler and cover after
the engine has been used, as the muffler remains hot for a good period of time.
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not smoke near gasoline and keep gasoline away from
generator while the generator is running. When adding fuel, turn the generator off and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing the gas cap. Loosen gas cap slowly to relieve the pressure in the tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors and never overfill the tank.
When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in tank, store away from appliances or equipment that have a
pilot light or other ignition sources because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

6
BATTERY (optional: for electric start units only)
The battery is free maintenance, but also need to charge.
Batteries contain electrolyte fluid or battery acid. Batteries emit hydrogen gases as battery is being charged.
The slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause and explosion.
ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow equipment to fully cool down before touching.
After the generator has been run, the engine produces heat. The temperatures of the muffler and nearby
areas can reach or exceed 1600F. Severe burns will occur on contact with skin.
Do not modify the generator in any way. The generator supplies the rated voltage and rated frequency at its
governed speed.
GENERATOR SAFETY
Never overload your generator as this can damage your generator or the electrical devices connected to it.
Do not start generator with electrical devices connected to it. Start the generator first and after the speed of
the generator stabilizes, electrical loads can be applied to it.
When connecting electrical loads, make sure the devices are “OFF” first before connecting them. Keep the
same concept when disconnecting electrical devices; make sure all devices are in the “OFF” position before
disconnecting.
Operate the generator on level surfaces only. Inclined surfaces reduce the effective lubrication of the engine.
Do not expose the generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.
PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION
Before starting the generator, verify the following conditions.

7
ENGINE OIL
• Fill the engine with SAE 10W-30 engine oil for general use or follow the table below.
• Make sure the generator is on a level surface and make sure the oil dipstick is on tight.
GASOLINE
•Add unleaded gasoline and never fill the fuel tank indoors. Also, be sure to install the fuel tank cap on tight
after filling.

8
•DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running or hot. Allow the unit to cool for two minutes before
refueling. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
AIR CLEANER
• Unsnap the air cleaner cover springs, and remove the air cleaner cover.
• Check the air cleaner element to be sure they are clean and in good
condition.
• If the air filter is dirty, remove and clean the element.
· Wash in solvent
· Squeeze
·Soak oil
· Squeeze dry
• Reinstall the air cleaner element and secure the cover by setting the cover
spring.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that the frame of the generator and
the external electrically conductive parts of the generator be connected
to an approved earth ground. Local codes may differ and require other
grounding specifications. For this purpose, please use the ground wire
that attaches from the frame to the generator unit.

9
Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the frame and to an earth-driven copper
or brass grounding rod provides sufficient safety against shock. However, local codes may differ. Contact
a local electrician to find out specifications for grounding your generator.
Note: Grounding your generator is highly recommended. It helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault
condition exists in the generator or in faulty connected electrical devices. Also, because the generator is
rotating at high speeds, static electricity tends to buildup within the unit. Grounding helps dissipate the static
electricity buildup often (built-up) in ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE GENERATOR
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, verify that the engine oil is full, gasoline is full, and air filter is in place. Also,
disconnect any load from the AC receptacle, and turn the AC circuit breaker OFF (Figure 1).
• Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 2).
• Place the choke lever in the “CHOKE” position (Figure 3.).
