and other moving parts. Never remove any fan guard or shield

while the unit is operating.

Certain parts of the generator get extremely hot during •

operation. Keep clear of the generator until it has cooled to

avoid severe burns.

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.

Introduction

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, 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 •

can 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 manufacturers 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).

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.•

2.3.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of this generator be

properly connected to an approved earth ground (Figure 5).

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the

unit. For that purpose, connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire

Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an

earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides

adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes

may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding

requirements in the area.

Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electrical

shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator

or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps

dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

Operation

2.3.2 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 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".

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.

NOTICE:

All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for

wattage requirements.

Figure 6 - Dipstick

2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE





Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its

vapors are EXPLOSIVE. 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.

n

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.

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.

Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.•

Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to bottom •

of screen filter. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 7).

Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline. •

Figure 7 - Fuel Tank

DO NOT Fill Above Lip

Fuel

Fuel Tank

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.

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".

NOTICE:

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.

n

Never insert any object or tool through the

air cooling slots, even if the engine is not

running.

NOTICE:

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 the 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 6).

3.3.5 CHANGING THE OIL

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50

hours thereafter. If running this unit under dirty or dusty conditions,

or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more often.

n

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:

See the KNOW THE GENERATOR section for component •

location.

Clean area around oil drain plug.•

Remove oil drain plug from engine and oil fill plug to drain oil •

completely into a suitable container.

When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and •

tighten securely.

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

Generator” for oil recommendations).

Wipe up any spilled oil.•

Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.•

3.3.6 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

Use spark plug F6TC, NGK BP6IS or Champion RN11YC. 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 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Install the

correctly gapped spark plug into the cylinder head and torque

to 15 ft/lbs. (Figure 8).

Maintenance

Figure 8 - Spark Plug Gap

3.3.7 SPARK ARRESTOR

The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect

and clean the screen at least once each year (Figure 9). If unit is

used regularly, inspect and clean more often.

NOTICE:

If using the generator on any forest-covered, brush-covered

or grass-covered unimproved land, it must equipped with a

spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be maintained in good

condition by the owner/operator.

Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:

Remove clamp and spark arrestor from muffler.•

Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise •

damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not

damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.

Replace the spark arrestor and clamp.•

Figure 9 - Spark Arrestor

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 every 25 hours (Figure 10). Clean

or replace more often if operating under dusty conditions.

Remove air filter cover.•

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

TWIST).

Clean air filter cover before re-installing it.•

3.5 VALVE CLEARANCE

Intake — 0.10 ± 0.02mm (cold), (0.004" ± 0.0008" inches)•

Exhaust — 0.15 ± 0.02mm (cold) (0.006" ± 0.0008" inches)•

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 seven 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:

Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.•





Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,

away from open flame. Be sure engine is

cool. Do not smoke near fuel.

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

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

recommended grade.

Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (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.

n

Avoid spray from spark plug hole when

cranking engine.

Install and tighten spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.•

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

and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

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.

n

NEVER cover the generator while engine and

exhaust area are warm.
