ADD ENGINE OIL

Page 11

1.Place generator on a flat, level surface.

2.Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow

oil fill cap/dipstick.

3.Wipe dipstick clean.

NOTE:

The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and

will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls

below the threshold level.

NOTE:

We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be

the break-in period for the unit. During the break

in period stay at or below 50% of the running

watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow

stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the

load will also cause engine speed to vary and help

seat piston rings.

CAUTION

The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown.If

the oil level becomes lower than required,the

sensor will activate a warning device or stop the

engine.

If generator shuts off and the oil level is within

specifications, check to see if generator is sitting

at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an

even surface to correct this. If engine fails to

start, the oil level may not be sufficient to

deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the

sump is completely full of oil.

5.Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

6.Oil level should be checked prior to each use

or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil

level maintained.

4.Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of

provided oil bottle into oil fill opening to the

"H" mark on dipstick. Be careful do not

overfill. Overfilling with oil could cause the

ADD FUEL

Page 12

Fuel must meet these requirements:

•

Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the

generator engine with a minimum 87 octane

/ 87 AKI (91 RON).

For high altitude use, see "Operation at High

Altitude".

Do not use gasoline with more than 10%

alcohol such as E85 or ethanol.

•

Failure to follow Operator's Manual for fuel

recommendations voids warranty.

Avoid generator damage.

DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.

DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.

DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.

•

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive which could cause burns, fire or

explosion resulting in death, serious injury

and/or property damage.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

Fill fuel tank outdoors.

DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel

expansion. If the tank is overfilled, fuel

can overflow onto a hot engine and cause fire

or explosion. Wipe up any spilled fuel

immediately.

If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before

starting engine.

Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames,

pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings

frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if

necessary.

DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when

filling the fuel tank.

•

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

2.Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be

careful not to fill above the red fuel level

indicator . This allows adequate space for

fuel expansion.

3.Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel

evaporate before starting engine or wipe up

any spilled gasoline.

CAUTION

Slowly add unleaded gasoline to fuel tank.

Do not overfill tank.

Do not fill above top of fuel screen. This

will all expansion in hot weather and

prevent overflow.

•

Operation at High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a

minimum 85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline

is acceptable.

The density of air at high altitude is lower

than at sea level. Engine power is reduced

as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease.

Engine power and generator output will be

reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet

of elevation above sea level. This is a

natural trend and cannot be changed by

adjusting the engine. At high altitudes

increased exhaust emissions can also result

due to the increased enrichment of the air

fuel ratio.

Other high altitude issues can include hard

starting, increased fuel consumption and

spark plug fouling. To alleviate high

altitude issues other than the natural

power loss, FIRMAN can provide a high

altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative

may have occurred during shipment.

2. Check oil level and fuel.

6. Move the choke lever to the “START” position.

5. Flip the engine switch to the “ON”(l) position.

8. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts

and warms up, move the choke lever to the

“RUN” position.

9. Allow generator to run at no load for few

minutes upon each initial start-up to permit

engine and generator to stablize.

WARNING

When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid

kickback.

4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” (l)position.

7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is

felt and then pull rapidly.

3. Disconnect all electrical loads from the

generator. Never start or stop the generator

with electrical devices plugged in or turned

on.

English Customer Service: 1-844-FIRMAN1

Keep choke lever in “START” position for only 1

pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move

choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the

next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much

choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine

flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This

will cause the engine not to start.

Page 16

Connecting Electrical Loads

1.Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few

minutes after starting.

2.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in

on position.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
