Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
–Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
–Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
–Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
–In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is
not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
–Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
LPG:
–LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
–LPG is under pressure and can cause a fire or explosion if
ignited.
–LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while
dissipating.
–LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks
quickly.
–In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve is turned OFF. This
is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not
turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
–When exchanging LPG cylinders, check that the cylinder valve
is of the same type.
–Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
–LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and
all LPG away from skin at all times.
When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before
removing the gasoline cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station. Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to
the generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Always check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting
to start the engine.
Always be certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, check that the LPG cylinder is
disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other
sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
DANGER
NEVER place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder
or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream
during operation of the engine.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG connector
hose, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut,
torn or damaged.

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 decrease 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
DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an
approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any
other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 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. 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. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top
of the fuel tank.
Empty Full
4. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
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 fuel 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
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–These ethanol 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
create 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 ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, 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)
DANGER
NEVER place the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) connector hose
OR LPG cylinder tank in the path of the muffler exhaust gas
stream of the generator during engine operation.
1. Confirm the dial is in the OFF position.
2. If using a new propane cylinder, remove the plastic cap from
the cylinder valve.
3. Attach the LPG hose assembly (included) to the propane
cylinder valve and hand tighten until snug. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
4. Remove the rubber boot covering the propane connection port
on the inverter.
5. Align the plastic finger on the male hose fitting on the LPG
hose assembly with the slot next to the female quick connect
coupling on the inverter.
6. Insert the hose fitting into the quick connect coupling and
push in until you hear a “click” and the outside collar of the
quick connect coupling moves forward.
7. 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 works with standard
20 and 30 pound LPG tanks.
–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.

201047 - 2400W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR OPERATION
18
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 panel of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect 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
Generator Location
WARNING
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage,
basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment,
including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an
SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, flat or other
configuration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls
or buildings or in any other location that will not allow for
adequate cooling of the generator or for the proper exit of the
exhaust flow from the muffler system.
DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather
conditions such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet
conditions could result in serious injury or death due to
electrocution.
In some state’s generators may be required to be registered
with the local utility company when used at construction sites
and may be subject to additional rules and regulations, consult
your local municipal authority.
Generators should always be operated on a flat, level surface
at all times (even when not in operation).
Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of
clearance from all combustible material.
Generators must also have a minimum of 3 feet (91.4 cm)
of air flow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate
performance cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area. NEVER
place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Always carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or
for storage purposes.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in
personal injury, damage to the generator and void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can
become extremely heated and may lead to fire.
WARNING
Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Keep all objects a minimum of 5 feet (1.5m) away from the
generator at all times. Heat from the muffler surface and
exhaust gas stream can ignite combustible materials.
WARNING
If you must operate in rain or damp locations, DO NOT operate
without proper protection of the electrical components.
Use of a safety canopy that is fire retardant and will provide proper
air ventilation for the engine exhaust gas stream may be used.

Shield cover.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
–Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or
turned on.
3. Turn the fuel vent lever to the “ON” position.
4. Move the EZ Start dial to the “CHOKE” position.
5. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
6. As the engine warms up, turn the EZ Start dial to the gasoline
“RUN” position.

201047 - 2400W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR OPERATION
20
NOTICE
Keep EZ Start dial in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the
recoil cord. If generator does not start after first pull, rotate the
EZ Start dial to the “RUN” position for the next three pulls. Too
much choke leads do spark plug fouling and engine flooding.
This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient >
86°F (30°C): Rotate the EZ Start dial to 75% of the full choke
position for only one pull of the recoil cord. If generator does
not start after first pull, rotate the dial to the RUN position
for the next three pulls. Too much choke leads do spark plug
fouling and engine flooding. This will cause the engine not to
start.
NOTICE
For gas starting in cold ambient < 59°F (15°C): The choke
must be in 100% of the “CHOKE” position for manual start
procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as the engine starts,
turn the EZ Start dial to the “RUN” position.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run, make certain
that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is
equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine
from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
Starting the Engine: Propane (LPG)
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or
turned on.
3. Open the fuel valve on the propane cylinder.
Cold Engine Start
4. Move the EZ Start dial to the “CHOKE” position.
5. Slowly pull the starter cord 3-5 times to prime the engine.
6. Turn the EZ Start dial to the propane “RUN” position.
7. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
