GENERATOR
PREPARATION
USING THE GENERATOR FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the
generator is used. The following section
describes steps necessary to prepare the
generator for use. If after reading this
section, you are unsure about how to
perform any of the steps please call
customer service center. Failure to
perform these steps properly can damage
the generator or shorten its life.
Step 1- ADD OIL
The generator is shipped without oil. User
must add the proper amount of oil before
operating the generator for the first time.
The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is
0.41qts (0.45 liters).
Engine Oil Recommendations
Select good quality detergent oil bearing
the American Petroleum Institute (API)
service classifications SJ, SL, or SM.
(Synthetic oils may be used.) Use the ASE
viscosity grade of oil from the following
chart that matches the starting
temperature anticipated before the next
oil changes.Recommended oil:
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level
surface. Tilting the generator to assist in

14
filling will cause oil to flow into engine
areas and will cause damage. Keep
generator level!
2. Loosen the screw and remove the small
panel.
3. Unscrew the dipstick from the engine
and set aside (Keep it clean).
4. Using a funnel provided, add oil slowly
to bring level to full.
5. To check the oil level: wipe the dipstick
with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into
the oil fill opening without screwing in.
Remove the dipstick to check the oil
mark.
6. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 5
until the oil mark reaches to the top of
the dipstick. Do not over fill the
crankcase. The generator is equipped
with a low oil sensor and will not start if
the amount of oil is insufficient.
7. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick
firmly before closing the access panel.
Step 2-ADD GASOLINE
DANGER:This generator
may emit highly flammable
and explosive gasoline vapors, which
can cause severe burns or even death
if ignited. A nearby open flame can
lead to explosion even if not directly in
contact with gasoline.
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase),
kead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane rating. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level
surface.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap and set aside
(Keep it clean).
NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and
hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline into the
fuel tank until fuel indicator in the fuel
level gauge moves to the “MAX” from
the “MIN”.
Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of
the fuel tank is 3.9 US gallon.
NOTE: Do not fill above the top of the

15
fuel filter. Gasoline will expand and spill
over during use when the fuel warms up
even with the fuel cap in place.
4. After refueling, make sure the tank cap
is tightened securely.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
IMPORTANT:
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause severe damage
to internal engine parts.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel
tank.
• Gasoline can age in the tank and make
starting difficult. Never store
generator for extended periods of
time with fuel in the tank.
NOTE: Fuel deteriorates over
time. It may be DIFFICULT to
start the engine if you use fuel which
has been kept for more than 30 days.
Towards the end of the season, it is
advisable to put only as much fuel in
the tank as you need for each use, since
it should be completely used up before
storing the product. Empty remaining
fuel from the tank and the
CARBURETTOR when storing the
product for over 30 days.
Step 3-GROUND (Earth) THE
GENERATOR
WARNING: Make sure to
ground (earth) the generator. Failure to
properly ground the generator can result
in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the
grounding nut on the front control panel
against a grounding wire. A generally
acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12
AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded
copper wire. This grounding wire should
be connected at the other end to a copper,
brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven
into the earth. Wire and grounding rods
are not included in generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location.
Contact a local electrician to check the
area codes.
STARTING THE
GENERATOR
Before starting the generator, make sure
you have read and performed the steps in
the “Generator Preperation” section of
this manual. If you are unsure about how
to perform any of the steps in this manual
please call customer service center.
NOTE:
The generator can be used with the rated
output load at standard atmospheric
conditions.
“Standard atmospheric conditions”
Ambient temperature 25℃
Barometric pressure 100kPa
Relative humidity 30%

16
The output of the generator varies due to
change temperature, altitude (lower air
pressure at higher altitude) and humidity.
The output of the generator is reduced
when the temperature, the humidity and
the altitude are higher than standard
atmospheric conditions.
Additionally, the load must be reduced
when using in a confined areas, as
generator cooling is affected.
DANGER: CARBON
MONOXIDE.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the
generator exhaust, you are breathing CO.
Even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you
may be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes,
garages, crawlspaces, or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas.
