IDLE CONTROL SWITCH
When there is no power requirement or load on the generators, generators go to gas-saving mode; upon demand, it will turn to
correct speed automatically in order to supply the correct power that device needs which minimizes fuel consumption and reduces
noise levels when no load is applied to the generator.
If high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the Auto Idle switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage changes.
Turn the AUTO IDLE feature off when the equipment you are running requires full power at startup (ex. power tools and other
equipment with electric motors).
When generators are working at constant rated power output mode, turn off the AUTO IDLE SWITCH
Pre-Operation Check
1. Engine Oil Requirements
Operating generators with insufficient oil may damage the engine and void your warranty.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oil will
damage the engine and must not be used in your Energy Storm Generator.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ. Always check the API
SERVICE
label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letter SJ.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when
the average temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
Note:
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil
level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the oil alert indicator light comes on and the Oil Alert system will automatically stop
the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position, turn it to the OFF position in this occurrence). If the engine stops or
the Oil Alert indicator light comes on when you pull the starter grip, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.
CAUTION!

2. Engine Oil Filling
Take off the right access cover (refer to diagram #56004). Unscrew the oil dipstick, wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth, then
insert the dipstick into the oil tank, and check the level of the oil. If the oil level is low or lower than recommended, fill with
the recommended oil using the oil fill bottle (included in tool package)
Diagram #56005
Oil Fill Bottle

3.Check the Gas Level
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a
well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Tighten fuel cap after adding fuel.
Be careful and avoid gas spillage when adding fuel, spilled fuel or gas fumes can catch on fire. In the case of any fuel
spillage, be sure that all fuel has vaporized or has been cleaned up before starting engine.
Avoid contact with fuel or breathing gas fumes. Always wash hands or areas exposed to fuel.
Check the gasoline level on the gauge (Diagram 56006); prior to starting the generator., Fill the gasoline tank to proper levels
with 87 octane gasoline .Always fill with fresh and clean gasoline. Avoid allowing dirt or water into the fuel tank. Tighten the fuel
tank cap after adding fuel.
4. Check the Air Cleaner Element
1. Remove the screws on the left access cover, open it.
2. Remove the three screws on the air cleaner case.
3. Pull out the air cleaner cartridge following the direction of the arrow point.
4. Check the air cleaner element, clean or change with a new one if necessary.
5. Re-install the air cleaner, air cleaner cover, and access cover.
Diagram #56006
E=Empty
F=Full
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain Conditions.
Keep the element clean and free of contaminants at all times.

ON
Recoil Pull Starting (only for electric/recoil models)
1. Open gasoline switch
2. Place the key into the ignition switch, and turn the key to ‘ON’ position.
3. Pull the starting rope until feel the resistance, then pull briskly to start the engine.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter or housing.
If the engine will not start after being stopped, please check the oil level first.
3. High altitude area operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will
increase. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your
generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), please ask your Authorized EnergyStorm Service Center to properly jet the
carburetor for High Altitude use. Even with carburetor modifications, the engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each
1,000-feet increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, this modified
Carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

4. Applications
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate
the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections to a
building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed can
cause injury or may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator
could explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
Using Your Generator
When the generator operates constantly, do not overload its rated power capacity. Consider total power for all the
equipment and appliances being powered.
DO NOT overload its rated current.
DO NOT connect the generator to household panel circuit; it may damage the generator or home electric equipment.
DO NOT use the generator for other than the intended purpose and comply with the following rules:
1. DO NOT parallel connect this model generator. Generators cannot be combined with other electric wires or extension cords or
multiple socket boxes.
2. DO NOT lengthen the exhaust pipe or vent it with any extensions.
3. Please use SJ or SJO type extension cords if you need additional length from the appliance cord.
4. Extension wire length limit: 16gauge cord 200feett maximum; 10 gauge cord 330 feet maximum.
You can use DC power at the same time that you are using AC power.
Please do not exceed the power or wattage total of DC & AC
Pay attention to the start-up wattage and running wattage requirements in determining the items to be powered by your
generator. Consult the Wattage Use Chart located on the back page of this manual.
1. How to Use AC Power
1. Start the engine with no electrically powered items plugged into the generator.
2. After unit starts and the green output indicator light (see diagram #56011) illuminates you may know plug in and operate
electrically powered devices.
Diagram#56011
In order to avoid getting an electric shock, always ground generator from the
Ground Lug to the Earth for proper grounding.

Substantial overloading will illuminate the red overload indictor light and damage the generator.
Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.
Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity
of the generator has been exceeded.
Output and overload indicator
At normal condition, output indicator (green light) will stay lit. If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short circuit in a connected
appliance, the overload indicator light (red) will illuminate. Then after about four seconds, current to the connected appliance(s) will
shut off, and the output indicator light (green) will go OFF.
If the red indicator light activates, please stop the engine and find out the reason for the overload.
Check your equipment for proper operation, electrical shorts, malfunctions, and make sure that the power required to operate
the desired equipment does not exceed the power available from the generator. Only then put the plug in the socket, and start the
engine.
Be sure all equipment is in the off position upon starting the generator. Only start your equipment when the green power
indicator light is illuminated and the generator is providing the necessary power to run your equipment.
A. Start Engine (refer to section 6 for instructions)
B. Wait five seconds for green power light to illuminate.
If the green output indicator light is off, and the red overload indicator light is on, stop the engine using the ignition switch, then
follow section 6 start engine requirements and restart.
C. Make sure your tools or appliances on in the off position, and then you may plug them
in the socket.
If connected equipment is in the ON position before connecting, it will start suddenly, and cause injury or damage.
If the red overload light and the green output light activate at the same time after starting engine and the red
overload indicator light stays on after the green output indicator light goes off please turn off the generator and
consult your closest authorized service center or EquipSource, LLC. @ 866-471-7464.
16
D. Turn on equipment.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a malfunction in your equipment, green output indicator light will turn off and the red
overload indicator light will turn on and power output from the generator will not continue. If this occurs the engine will not stop, you
must turn off the ignition switch to stop engine in order to reset the power circuit of the generator.
2. How to Use 12 Volt DC Output
When using the DC output, turn the Auto Idle switch to the OFF position (see diagram #56361 for switch location)
You can use DC power and AC power at the same time.
DC overload circuit may disconnect, reset circuit protector by pressing reset button.
Special Instructions for Charging 12Volt Batteries (diagram #56013)
When charging, put the charging plug in the DC socket, and then connect to the terminals of the battery. After charging
remove battery terminals first then un-plug charging plug. This procedure will reduce the chances of sparking.
When charging car batteries, please remove the ground wire of the battery first, reconnect it after charging in order to avoid
short circuit or spark .
If the equipment power requirement meets the system capability for initial start-up, the overload indicator and output indicator
will turn on at the same time for a short period, that's normal. The red indicator light will turn off and the green light stays on after
the equipments start.
