2) FUELISHIGHLYFLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
Always turnoff theengine when refueling.
Never refuel while smoking or around an open flame.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muffler when refueling.
If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or if fuel vapor comes in contact with your eyes, seek medical assistance
immediately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your
clothes.
When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or
fuel tank.
3) ENGINE ANDMUFFLERMAYBE HOT

Put the generator on the flat ground, allowing the generator to vent heat freely.
4) ELECTRICSHOCKPREVENTION
Never operate the generator in rain or snow.
Never touch the generator with wet hands or electric shock may occur.
Be sureto ground (earth) the generator. FIG.1
NOTE:
Use ground (earth) lead of sufficient current capacity.
Diameter: 0.12mm (0.005 in)/ampere
EX: 10 Ampere --1.2mm (0.055in)

1) OILWARNINGSYSTEM
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the engine stops automatically.
Unless you refill with oil, the engine will not start again. FIG.2
2) ENGINESWITCH
The engine switch controls the ignition system. FIG.3
①RUN(on)
Ignition circuit is switched on. The engine can be started.
②STOP

③START
Starting circuit is switched on. The starter motorstarts.
3) ECONOMY CONTROLSWITCH
When the economy control switch is turned “ON”, the economy control will
control the engine speed according to the connected load. The result is a less
efficient fuel consumption with less noise. FIG.4
4) DCCIRCUITPROTECTOR
The DC circuit protector turns off automatically when the load exceeds the
generator rated output.
CAUTION:
Reduce the load to within specified generator’s rated output if the DC
circuit protector turns off.
5) FUEL COCK
Thefuel cock is used to supply fuel fromthe tank to the carburetor. FIG.5
6) BRAKELEVER
Thefunction of brake lever is to protect generator from moving. FIG.6

Push reset button for 2 seconds, the generator will recover the AC output when
the generator stop producing AC output under overload protect. FIG.7
NOTE:
Reduce the load on the generator to ensure that the total load is within the
generator’s rated output power.
8) AUTOGENSTART

①When the circuit of this plug is connected, the starter motor starts and
runs the generator.
②When the circuit of this plug is disconnected the engine will stop
PRE-OPERATIONCHECK
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time thegenerator is used.
1) CHECKENGINEFUEL
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank. FIG.9
If fuel is low, refill with unleaded gasoline.
Be sureto use the fuel filterscreen on the fuel filter neck.
Recommended fuel: Unleaded gasoline.
Fuel tank capacity: (see page 15)
WARNING:
Do not refill tank while engine is running or hot.
Close fuel petcock before refueling.
Be careful not to allow dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into fuel.
Do notfill abovethe top of the fuel filter or it may overflow when the fuel heats up and expands.
Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
Keep away from open flames.

OPERATION
NOTE:
The generatorhas been shipped without engine oil. Fill with oil or it will not
start.
Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in
overfilling and damage to the engine.
1) STARTINGTHEENGINE
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, do not connect electric appliance. FIG.14
A Electric start
1. Turn the fuel cock lever to the ON position. FIG.15
2. Turn the engine switch to the START position. FIG.16
3. Turn the engine switch to the RUN position. FIG.17
4. Warm up the engine without a load for a few minutes.
B Auto start
1. Make sure the fuel cock valve to the ON position.
2. Make sure the engine switch to the RUN position.
3. Connect the cable to Auto Gen Start plug, as soon as the generator
receives the start signal, the generator will start. If the generator does not
start successfully, it will try to start again. Generator will disconnect the
circuit when the generator does not start after three times. FIG.18
2) USINGELECTRIC POWER
1. AC APPLICATION
(a) Check the AC indicator light for proper voltage.
(b) Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to
the generator.
(c) Insert the plug(s)of the electrical appliance(s)into the outlet. FIG.19
CAUTION:

Be surethe outlet load current is within outlet’s rated current.
The economy control switch must be turned to “OFF”when using electric
devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor or a
submersible pump. FIG.20
OVERLOADINDICATOR LIGHT
Theoverload indicatorlight comes on when overloaded, short circuit, or voltage
is out of operating tolerance, or the AV output voltage rises. The electronic
breaker will then activate, stopping power to the generator in order to protect
the generator and any connected electric devices. The overload indicator light
(red) will flicker and then keep on, the generator will stop power output. If so
please followthe following steps: FIG.21
(a) Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
application range.
(b) Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If
any blockages are found, remove.
(c) Press the “RESET”button to reset the output, FIG.22
CAUTION:
The generatorAC output automatically resets when the engine is stopped and then restarted.
The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large
startingcurrent, such as a compressor or a submergible pump. This is not a malfunction.
2. DC APPLICATION
12V battery charging only. FIG.23
(a) 12V DC socket maybe use to charge cell phones and other small
electronics using a 12DC adapter
(b) When charging batteries, make sure to properly connect the leads to the
battery. Do not reverse the polarity.
