BASIC&SPECIFIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN
REFUELING:
OPERATION OF GENERATOR IN RAIN, WET, ICY, OR FLOODED
CONDITIONS.
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electrically charged components can transmit electricity to
the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to anyone
contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching unit.
TAMPERING WITH FACTORY SET ENGINE SPEED SETTINGS.
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tamper-
ing with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheating
of attachments and could cause a fire.
Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by
this practice, endangering attachments and the user.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ITEMS TO GENERATOR.
Exceeding the load capacity of the generator by attaching too many
items, or items with very high load ratings to it could result in
overheating of some items or their attachment wiring resulting in fire or
electrical shock. Make sure that the sum total of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the load rating of the generator.
ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or
from an electrical spark.
Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle gasoline or
fuel fires.
SPARKS, FIRE, HOT OBJECTS
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot objects can cause gasoline or
gasoline vapors to ignite.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area. Make sure there are no sources
of ignition near the generator.
INADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR GENERATOR
Materials placed against or near the generator or operating the
generator in areas where the temperature exceeds 40° C ambient
(such as storage rooms or garages) can interfere with its proper
ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the
materials or buildings.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area a minimum of
four feet from any building, object or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT
INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
RISK OF BREATHING - INHALATION HAZARD
Operate generator in clean, dry, well ventilated area. Never operate
unit in enclosed areas such as garages, basements, storage, sheds, or
in any location occupied by humans or animals.
Keep children, pets and others away from area of operating unit.
Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death. Gasoline
engines produce toxic carbon monoxide exhaust fumes.
OPERATION OF VOLTAGE SENSITIVE APPLIANCES WITHOUT A
VOLTAGE SURGE PROTECTOR.
Any gasoline operated household generator will incur voltage
variations causing damage to voltage sensitive appliances or could
result in fire.
Always use a U.L./CSA listed voltage sensitive surge protector to
connect voltage sensitive appliances (TV, computer, stereo, etc.). Fail-
ure to use a U.L./CSA listed voltage surge protector will void the war-
ranty on your generator.
Notice: A multiple outlet strip is not a surge protector. Make sure
you use a U.L./CSA listed voltage surge protector.
USE OF WORN, DAMAGED, UNDERSIZED OR UNGROUNDED
EXTENSION CORDS.
Contact with worn or damaged extension cords could result in
electrocution. Use of undersize extension cords could result in
overheating of the wires or attached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded extension cords could prevent operation of circuit
breakers and result in electrical shock.
Inspect extension cords before use and replace with new cord if
required. Use proper size (wire gauge) extension cords for application
as shown below. Always use extension cords having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. DO NOT use an ungrounded plug.
An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded. Repair or
replace damaged extension cords immediately.

WATTAGE CALCULATIONS &
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS
IMPORTANT! Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Seri-
ous damage to the generator or appliance could result from an over-
load.
1) “Starting” and “Running” wattage requirements should always be
calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the
appliance or tool.
2) There are two types of electrical appliances that can be powered by
your generator:
a) Items such as radios, light bulbs, televison sets, and microwaves
have a “resistive load”. Starting wattage and running wattage are
the same.
b) Items such as refrigerators, air compressors, washer, dryer and
hand tools that use an electrical motor have an “inductive load”.
Inductive load appliances and tools require approx. 2 to 3
times the listed wattage for “starting” the equipment. This
initial load only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is important
when figuring your total wattage to be used.
Always start your largest electric motor first, and then plug in other
items, one at a time.
NOTE: On 120-volt loads the maximum starting wattage should NOT
exceed one half of the rated generator wattage.
Wattage Requirement Chart below- This is only a guideline, each
appliance or electrical device needs to be checked for its specific
operating load.
DETERMINING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS
Note: Volts X Amps = Watts
Example: 120V X 10 Amps = 1200 Watts
Before operating this generator, list all of the appliances and/or tools
that are going to operate at the same time. (Then determine the
starting wattage requirements and the running wattage requirements
by following the example below:
1) Add the total amount of the running wattage of all appliances and/or
tools that will be operated at the same time.
Example 1A:
Lights = 100 Watts (Running)
Television = 300 Watts (Running)
Coffee maker = 1750 Watts (Running)
TOTAL = 2150 Watts (Running)
2) Next add the total amount of the starting wattage of any appliances
and/or tools that will start and stop during operation.
Example 1B:
Small Refrigerator = 700 Watts (Running) 2200 Watts (Starting)
Fan = 200 Watts (Running) 600 Watts (Starting)
TOTAL = 900 Watts (Running) 2800 Watts (Starting)
3) The running wattage of examples 1A & 1B totals 3050 watts. The
starting wattage totals 2800 watts which is 1900 watts more than the
running watts. Take this difference of 1900 starting watts and add to
the total running watts of 3050. Therefore:
1900 Starting Watts + 3050 Running Watts = 4950 Total Watts
The generator required to operate the items in example 1A & 1B
must have a minimum capacity of at least 4950 starting watts.

MAINTAINING YOUR GENERATOR
Engine Oil Replacement
Engine oil should be replaced after the first 20 hours of operation or after the first month
of use, it should be replaced every 100 hours or 6 months after. To replace engine oil:
1) Loosen the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.8.
2) Place an oil pan underneath drain hex. bolt (B), remove hex. bolt (B) and drain oil.
3) Once all the oil has completely drained, retighten the hex. bolt (B).
Recommended Engine Oil
It is recommended to use SAE 10W30 4-stroke gasoline engine oil. For cold weather
(below -15ºC) use SAE 5W30.
4) Fill with clean engine oil through the oil gauge dipstick hole, fill then check oil level until
the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole.
Inspecting, Replacing or Cleaning Spark Plug (F7TC or equivalent)
The spark plug should be checked every 100 hours of operation or every 6 months. To
replace or clean spark plug:
1) Dismantle the spark plug cap (A) Fig.9 by pulling it off the spark plug (B). Using the
supplied spark plug wrench, undo the spark plug by turning it counterclockwise.
2) Check to see if there is carbon sediment build-up, if so just remove it. If the carbon
sediment is excessive, replace the spark plug.
3) Measure the electrodes clearance. See Fig.10. The spark plug electrode clearance
should be between 0.7-0.8mm. If the clearance exceeds 0.8mm, replace the spark plug
with an LD F7TC or equivalent (NGK BP6ES, Champion N9Y).
4) Reinstall spark plug in the reverse order.
Fuel Filter Maintenance
In order to clean the fuel filter inside the fuel cock, it is necessary to drain all gasoline from
the tank and the carburetor, see section “Generator Storagebelow for complete instruc-
tions.
1) Once the tank and carburetor are drained of all gasoline, disconnect the fuel hose (A)
Fig.11 from the fuel cock and then dismantle the fuel cock nut (B) from the tank.
2) Remove the fuel cock from the tank to expose the fuel filter (C). Clean the fuel filter.
3) Reinstall all parts in the reverse order.
GENERATOR STORAGE
If you plan on storing your generator for an extended period of time, the following steps
should be followed:
1) Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.
2) Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.
NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from the tank and
carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible
malfunction of the engine. To drain gasoline:
3) Turn fuel shut-off valve (A) Fig.12 to the “OFF” position.
4) Disconnect the fuel hose (B) from the fuel cock.
5) Turn fuel shut-off valve to the “ON” position and drain fuel from tank. Pivot the fuel cock
outwards to simplify the task as shown in Fig.12.
6) Remove drain hex. bolt (D) from the carburetor (C) and drain the rest of the fuel found
inside the carburetor and hose.
7) Reposition the carburetor drain hex. bolt and fuel cock hose once the fuel is completely
drained.
8) Drain engine oil from engine as described in “Engine Oil Replacement”.
9) Pull the recoil starter handle gently until resistance is felt.
