Fuel Safety
DANGER
PETROL, PETROL VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Petrol and petrol vapors:
–Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
–Petrol can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–Petrol is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–Petrol is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately
if spilled on skin or clothes.
–Petrol 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.
Propane:
–Propane is highly flammable and explosive.
–Propane is under pressure and can cause a fire or explosion if
ignited.
–Propane is heavier than air and can settle in low places while
dissipating.
–Propane 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 propane cylinders, check that the cylinder
valve is of the same type.
–Always keep the propane cylinder in an upright position.
–Propane will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any
and all propane away from skin at all times.
When adding or removing petrol:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before
removing the petrol cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain petrol outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump petrol 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 petrol 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 petrol 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 propane 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, petrol or propane cylinders near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
DANGER
NEVER place a petrol container, gasoline tank, propane
cylinder or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust
stream during operation of the engine.
WARNING
Never use a petrol container, petrol tank, propane connector
hose, propane cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken,

ASSEMBLY
Your generator requires some assembly. It must be properly
serviced with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of
your generator, call our Technical Support Team at
[phone]. Please have your serial number and model
number available.
Unpacking
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator.
3. Using the carrying handles of the unit, carefully remove the
generator from the box (two people lifting is recommended).
Remove Shipping Support Hardware
To protect the generator during shipping, support hardware has
been installed between the engine and frame. This hardware
MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE adding oil or gasoline to the
generator.
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to run generator without first removing the
shipping support hardware. Damage to the generator as a
result of not removing the hardware will void the warranty.
1. BEFORE filling the engine with oil or petrol, tip the generator
onto the muffler side. Tip onto the flattened cardboard box
the generator came in or other protective surface so as to not
scratch the enclosure.
2. Remove the four nuts and mounting plates from the bottom
side of the generator using the included 8/10 mm wrench.
Nuts and spacers can be discarded.
3. Tip the generator upright.
Connect the Battery
1. Remove the non recoil side maintenance cover by removing
the two screws with a phillips head screw driver
(included).
2. Push two halves of battery connector together tightly.
Add Engine Oil
WARNING
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 failing to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
NOTICE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing
that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
NOTICE
The recommended oil type for typical use is 1Champion
PowerX 10w30 oil. However, using the listed conventional oils
shown in the “Recommended Engine Oil Type” chart may be
used for typical use including the first 5 hours of the break-in
run time period of the engine.
If running generator in extreme temperatures, refer to the
“Recommended Engine Oil Type” chart.

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn the oil access cover fastener to the unlocked position
and remove the cover.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
4. Using a funnel, add up to 16.9 fl. oz. (500 ml) of oil and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick and secure cover.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
5. Check engine oil level before each use and add as needed.

OIL DIP STICK
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil levels, Do Not screw in
the dipstick. Rest it against the outer side of the port to record
oil level.
A general good rule is oil is full when it can be visually seen on
the middle/upper threads on the port.
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: Petrol y
DANGER
Petrol 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 petrol directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
Never use a petrol container, fuel tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the fuel 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 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. y
This is four stroke petrol engine and requires separate oil and fuel.
NEVER mix oil and fuel together.
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Slowly add petrol to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Petrol can
expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space
left in the tank is required for petrol expansion, although more
than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Petrol 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 petrol with a minimum octane rating of 85 and
an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. y
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and petrol.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for petrol
expansion.
DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the
generator.
DO NOT fill or refuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot allow
minimum 30mins cooling before refueling.
WARNING
Pouring petrol too fast through the fuel screen may result in
petrol splashing over the generator and operator while filling.
