DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
to the generator as a result of failure to follow
these instructions will void your warranty.
1.Place generator on a flat and level surface.
2.Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow
oil fill cap/dipstick.
3.Wipe dipstick clean.
NOTE:
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive
oil. However outdoor temperatures will determine
the space proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the
chart to select the best for the outdoor temperature
range expected.
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.
English Customer Service: 1-844-FIRMAN1
CAUTION
Slowly add unleaded gasoline to fuel tank.
Do not overfill tank.
Do not fill above the red line indicator.
This will allow expansion in hot weather
and prevent overflow.
Red Line Indicator
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 " Long Term Storage"
section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank as permanent damage
may occur.
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

suppressors on the outlets feeding your
sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come
in single- or multi-outlet styles. Theyre
desi g n ed t o p rote c t agai n s t v i r tual l y
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that
could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste
it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed
to carbon monoxide gas.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away
from windows, doors and vents to reduce
the risk of carbon monoxide gas from
accumulating and potentially being drawn
towards occupied spaces.

If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure
unit is on a level surface and check for proper
oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped
with a low oil protection device. If so, oil must
be at proper level for engine to start.
Keep choke lever in “START” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move
choke lever to the RUNposition 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.

Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power
source may be against the law. In addition this
action, if done incorrectly, could damage your
generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility
worker who may be working on nearby power
lines. If you plan to run a portable electric

CAUTION
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
