• Do NOT operate generator in the rain.

• Do not alter the construction of the generator or change controls

which might create an unsafe operating condition.

• Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected to

receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start the

engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the generator.

• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never

work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on

the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous

operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil

leakage, etc.

NOTE:

This generator is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. The

spark arrestor must be maintained in effective working order by

the owner/ operator. In the State of California, a spark arrestor is

required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources

Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply

on federal lands.

EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS

• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in

the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as

garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use

outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an

area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which you

cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient

concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical

to correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or

permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can

seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator

MUST be operated outdoors.

• This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing that

might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance with

any local codes and/or standards.

• Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm

indoors,installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been

running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as you

could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in

operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,

etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected to the

generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are

in place before operating the generator.

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing in

water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and external

electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly connected

to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also

require proper grounding of the generator. Consult with a local

electrician for grounding requirements in the area.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly

conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).

Safety Rules

• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cord

sets with the generator.

• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect

the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental start

up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a

NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut

down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,

attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT

CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting implement,

such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor.

If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate

medical help.

FIRE HAZARDS

• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE.

Do not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the

vicinity while handling gasoline.

• Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool

completely before adding fuel.

• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating

storage and handling of gasoline.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel

expansion. If tank is over-filled, fuel can overflow onto a hot

engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Never store generator

with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open flame,

spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer).

FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Allow unit to cool entirely before

storage.

• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no

combustible materials are left on or near the generator. Keep the

area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris and

keep a clearance of five (5) feet on all side to allow for proper

ventilation of the generator.

• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

• Do not operate the generator if connected electrical devices

overheat, if electrical output is lost, if engine or generator sparks or

if flames or smoke are observed while unit is running.

receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation). This allows the

generator to be used as a portable without grounding the frame of the

generator as specified in NEC 250.34.

2.3.1.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that

apply to the intended use of the generator.

Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local

agency having jurisdiction:

In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local

utility companies.

If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional

regulations which must be observed.

2.3.2 CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO A BUILDING’S

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

When connecting directly to a building’s electrical system, it is

recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections

made by a qualified electrician and in strict compliance with all

national and local electrical codes and laws.

Figure 7 - Grounding the Generator

2.3.3 CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles. DO NOT

connect 3-phase loads to the generator. DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads

to the generator.

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single phase,

60 Hz electrical loads.

• Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected

at one time. This total should not be greater than (a) the rated

wattage/amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit breaker

rating of the receptacle supplying the power. See "Don't Overload

the Generator".

Operation

2.4 DON’T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can

result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices.

Observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:

• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected

at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator's

wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated

wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a

data label or decal affixed to the device.

• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts

times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).

• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about three

times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge

of power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors.

Make sure to allow for high starting wattage when selecting

electrical devices to connect to the generator:

1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.

The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in determining

how many items the generator can operate at one time.

NOTE:

All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for

wattage requirements.

2.6 BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need to

be added, as follows:

2.6.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL

All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API)

Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select the

oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature

(also see chart).

• Above 32 °F (0 °C), use SAE 30

• Between 40 °F and -10 °F (4 and -32 °C), use 10W-30

• Synthetic 5W-30 for all temperature ranges



Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly serviced with the

recommended oil may result in an engine

failure.

Operation

1. Place generator on a level surface (not to exceed 15° in any

direction).

2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap and dipstick.

3. Wipe dipstick clean.

4. Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening until it

reaches the full mark on the dipstick. Stop filling occasionally to

check oil level. Be careful not to over fill.

5. Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.

6. Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.

2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE



Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank

when engine is running or hot. Allow engine

to cool entirely before filling fuel tank. Avoid

spilling gasoline on HOT engine. DO NOT light

a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are

explosive.



Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room

for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled,

fuel can overflow onto a HOT engine and cause

FIRE or EXPLOSION.

1. Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do

not use any gasoline with more than 10% added Ethanol, and

never use E85 gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

3. Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Be careful

not to overfill (Figure 8).

4. Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Figure 8 - Fuel Tank

DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LIP!

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming

in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during

storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids

during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should

be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See the "Storage"

section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank as permanent damage may occur.

2.7 TO START THE ENGINE



Never start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged into the receptacles AND

devices turned on.

1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before

starting the engine.

2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in any

direction).

3. Turn the Fuel Shut-off Valve to the "ON" position (Figure 9).

4. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to ON position (Figure 9).

5. Move engine CHOKE lever to the START position (Figure 10).

6. To start engine, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until

increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.

7. When engine starts, move choke lever to 1/2-CHOKE position

until engine runs smoothly and then fully into RUN position. If

engine falters, move choke back out to 1/2-CHOKE position until

engine runs smoothly and then to RUN position.

NOTE:

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to

the START position and repeat starting instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload

individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against

overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating

of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical

output to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator”

carefully.

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator

panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical

devices plugged in and turned on.

2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the

internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3. Move ON/OFF switch to OFF position.

4. Close fuel valve.

2.9 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down

the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified

level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough

gasoline, check engine oil level.

2.9.1 SENSING LOW OIL LEVEL

If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine shuts

down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled to the

proper level.

3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Maintenance

3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been

subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from

the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as instructed

in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly

maintain the generator.

All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should

be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the

"Maintenance Schedule".

NOTE:

Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. A

new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture

and help the engine run better and last longer.

3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry.

Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not

be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.

Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,

leaves, or any other foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when

dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its

exterior surface.



Never insert any object or tool through the air

cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.

NOTE:

DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter

the engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water

enters the generator through cooling air slots, some water will

be retained in voids and crevices of the rotor and stator winding

insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal

windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of

these windings.

3.3.2 TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and debris.

• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to blow away

dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator. These

openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.

3.3.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE



When working on the generator, always

disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and

keep wire away from spark plug.

3.3.4 CHECKING OIL LEVEL

See the “Before Starting the Generator” section for information on

checking the oil level. The oil level should be checked before each

use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keep the oil level

maintained (Figure 11).

Figure 11 - Oil Drain, Check & Fill

Oil Drain

Oil Check & Fill

3.3.5 CHANGING THE OIL

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every season.

If running this unit under dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot

weather, change the oil more often.



Hot oil may cause burns. Allow engine to

cool before draining oil. Avoid prolonged

or repeated skin exposure with used oil.

Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap.

Use the following instructions to change the oil after the engine

cools down:

1. Clean area around oil drain plug.

2. Remove oil drain plug from engine and oil fill plug to drain oil

completely into a suitable container.

3. When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and tighten

securely.

4. Fill engine with recommended oil. (See “Before Starting the

Generator” for oil recommendations).

5. Wipe up any spilled oil.

6. Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.

Maintenance

3.3.6 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

Use spark plug F6TC, NGK BPR4ES or Champion RN14YC.

Replace the plug once each year. This will help the engine

start easier and run better.

1. Stop the engine and pull the spark plug wire off of the spark plug.

2. Clean the area around the spark plug and remove it from the

cylinder head.

3. Set the spark plug's gap to 0.70-0.80 mm (0.028-0.031 in). Install

the correctly gapped spark plug into the cylinder head and torque

to 15 ft/lbs. (Figure 12).

Figure 12 - Spark Plug Gap

3.3.7 SPARK ARRESTOR

1. Shut off generator and allow the engine and muffler to cool down

completely before servicing spark arrestor (located on the back

of the muffler).

2. Remove the clamp and spark arrestor screen.

3. Clean the spark arrestor screen with a small wire brush.

4. Replace the spark arrestor if it is damaged.

5. Installation of the spark arrestor screen is the reverse of the

removal.

3.4 SERVICE AIR FILTER

The engine will not run properly and may be damaged if using a dirty

air filter. Clean the air filter once a year (Figure 13). Clean or replace

more often if operating under dusty conditions.

1. Remove air filter cover.

2. Wash in soapy water. Squeeze filter dry in clean cloth (DO NOT

TWIST).

3. Clean air filter cover before re-installing it.

Figure 13 - Air Filter

Air Filter

3.5 VALVE CLEARANCE

• Intake — 0.10 ± 0.02 mm (cold), (0.004" ± 0.001" in)

• Exhaust — 0.15 ± 0.02 mm (cold) (0.006" ± 0.001" in)

After the first 50 hours of operation, check the valve clearance in

the engine and adjust if necessary.

Important: If feeling uncomfortable about doing this procedure or

the proper tools are not available, please take the generator to the

nearest service center to have the valve clearance adjusted. This is a

very important step to ensure longest life for the engine.

3.6 GENERAL

The generator should be started at least once every 30 days and be

allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and the unit

must be stored for more than 30 days, use the following information

as a guide to prepare it for storage.



NEVER store engine with fuel in tank indoors

or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where

fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot

light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes

dryer or other gas appliance.

Maintenance

3.7 LONG TERM STORAGE

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel

system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before

storage of 30 days or longer, as follows:

1. Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank. Use a commercially

available, non-conductive vacuum siphon.



Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,

away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool.

Do not smoke.

2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.

3. Drain oil from crankcase after the engine cools down. Refill with

recommended grade.

4. Remove the spark plug and pour about 1/2 oz (15 ml) of engine

oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the recoil

starter a couple times to lubricate the piston rings and cylinder

bore.



Avoid spray from spark plug hole when

cranking engine.

5. Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug wire.

6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots

and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

7. Store the unit in a clean, dry place

3.8 OTHER STORAGE TIPS

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the

gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.

• If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection

from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.

• If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be

stored for some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer

added to the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.

• Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain

moisture.



NEVER cover the generator while engine and

exhaust areas are warm.
