Using the Operator’s manual
The operating manual is an important part of your generator. It should
be read thoroughly before initial use, and referred to often to make
sure adequate safety and service concerns are being addressed.
Reading the owner’s manual thoroughly will help avoid any personal
injury or damage to your machine. By knowing how best to operate
this machine you will be better positioned to show others who may
also operate the unit.
This manual contains information for the complete range our
generators, and was written to take you from the safety requirements
to the operating functions of your machine. You can refer back to
functions, so store it with the machine at all times.
Attention: Read through the complete manual
prior to the initial use of your generator.

1. SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your
generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you are familiar with your
generator’s safe operation procedures.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any
structure or building during use.
• NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-
enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and
windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up
in the home.
• NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed
spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide
very quickly.
• When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot
smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust
fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
• NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or
death.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide
from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death
• If you experience serious symptoms, seek medical attention
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
re-enter the building.

WARNING
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.
Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a
spout, use a funnel.
•
•
hot engine parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the
any spilled fuel before starting engine.
•
inhaling dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety con-
tainers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such
as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or
the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel
can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s
pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance.

DANGER
Improper grounding can result in risk of electrocution.
requirements if you are in doubt as to whether the
unit is properly grounded.
• This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an
external ground source as instructed in the section labeled
“Grounding Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual
regulations.
• The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not
kept dry. Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet
conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface
under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet
before touching the generator.
• Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at
least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check
that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all
three prongs,especially a grounding pin.
• NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator
into a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is
an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution
risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility
transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household
circuit protection devices.
• If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
equipment in accordance with local electrical codes.
If the generator should malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

4.3 Overload indicator light (red)
The overload indicator light (1) comes on when an overload of a
connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit
overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will
trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and
and the overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will
not stop running.
When the overload indicator light comes on and power generation
stops, proceed as follows:
1. Turn
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
rated output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control
unit. If any blockages are found, remove them.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
TIP: The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at
such as a compressor or a submergible pump. This is normal and
should not be treated as a malfunction.

4.6 Engine smart control (ESC)
(1) “ON”
When the ESC switch is turned to “ON”, the economy control unit
controls the engine speed according to the connected load. This
results in better fuel economy and reduced noise output.
(2) “OFF”
When the ESC switch is turned to“OFF”, the engine runs at the rated
r/min(4500r/min) regardless of whether a load is connected or not.
TIP: The ESC must be turned to“OFF”when using electric devices
that require a large starting current, such as a compressor of a
submersible pump.

5.3 Pre-Operation check
WARNING
• If any item in the Pre-operation check is not working properly, have
it inspected and repaired before operating the generator.
• The condition of a generator is the owner’s responsibility. Vital
components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the generator remains unused for a period of time.
TIP: Pre-operation checks should be made each time the generator is
used.
Pre-operation check
Fuel (See page 16)
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Engine oil (See page 17)
• Check oil level and condition in engine.
• Check generator for oil leakage.
PREPARATION
The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Do not start the engine till
fill with the sufficient engine oil.
1. Place the generator on a level surface.
2. Screw the oil service door knob to "OPEN" and remove the oil service door.

6. OPERATION
WARNING
• Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause
unconsciousness and death within a short time. Operate the
engine in a well ventilated area.
• Before starting the engine, do not connect any electric devices.
NOTICE
• The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Do not start
• Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result
TIP: 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%
The output of the generator varies due to changes in temperature,
altitude (lower air pressure at higher altitude) and humidity.
The output of the generator is reduced when the temperature,
humidity, and the altitude are higher than standard atmospheric
conditions.

“ON” position (4).
TIP: When starting the engine, with the ESC “ON”, and there is no
load on the generator:
• In ambient temperature below 0°C (32°F), the engine will run at the
rated r/min (4500r/min) for 5 minutes to warm up the engine.
