OIL DIP STICK
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are 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 slightly and help seat piston
rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30
oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C)
temperatures.
Add Fuel: Gasoline
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. ybc
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of
expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the generator.
3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.

WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or
a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The
compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential
hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
Connecting an LPG cylinder
1. Make sure the LPG valve on the generator is in the “OFF”
position.
2. Attach the LPG hose (included) to the LPG inlet on the
generator and tighten with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench
to torque specified on hose label.
Important: DO NOT use thread seal tape or any other type
of sealant to seal LPG hose connection.
3. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve.
4. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG connector on
the cylinder and hand tighten.
5. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with
a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or
bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak
exists at a fitting then turn off the valve on the cylinder
and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve back on and recheck
the fitting with the soap and water solution. If the leak
continues or if the leak is not at a fitting then do not use
the generator and contact customer service.
NOTICE
– The LPG hose included with this unit connects to 20, 30,
and 40 pound LPG cylinders.
– Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not
expired.
– All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture
prior to filling. Used cylinders that have not been plugged
or kept closed must also be purged.
– The purging process should be done by an LPG supplier
(cylinders from an exchange supplier should have been
purged and filled properly already).
– Always position the cylinder so the connection between
the cylinder valve and generator inlet won’t cause sharp
bends or kinks in the LPG hose.
CAUTION
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder
or hose connections.

CAUTION
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD
(overfilling prevention device) valve. Always keep the
cylinder in a vertical position with the valve on top and
installed at ground level on a flat surface. Cylinders must
not be installed near any heat source and should not be
exposed to sun, rain, and dust. When transporting and
storing, turn off the cylinder valve and generator LPG valve,
and disconnect the cylinder. Plug the outlet, usually by a
plastic protective cap, if one is available. Keep cylinders
away from heat and ventilated when in a vehicle.
WARNING
If there is a strong smell of LPG: Close valve on the cylinder.
Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings
with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear
or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. Do not
smoke or light a cigarette, or check for leaks using a match,
open flame source or lighter. Contact a qualified technician
to inspect and repair an LPG system if a leak is found,
before using the generator.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to
ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
Neutral Floating*
– Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame
and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is
not functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
– Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground
of the generator.
– The generator system ground connects lower frame
cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.
OPERATION
CO Shield™ - Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Detection and Auto-shutoff System
The CO Shield™ technology monitors the accumulation of
poisonous CO gas produced by engine exhaust when the
generator is running. If CO Shield detects elevated levels of
CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. Generators are
intended to be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings
and exhaust pointed away from people and buildings.
25 ft. / 7 m
If misused and operated in a location that results in the
accumulation of CO inside an enclosed or partially enclosed
space, for example a house, garage or a garage with the
door partially open, CO Shield will automatically shut off the
generator and then illuminate a red LED. Read the action label
for what steps to take. CO Shield is not a substitute for an
indoor carbon monoxide alarm.
