ASSEMBLY
Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships
from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced
with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, contact yor local dealer. Please have your serial
number and model number available.
Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to
bottom. Fold each side flat on the ground to provide a
surface area to install the wheel kit and support leg.
Install the Wheel Kit (Optional Extra)
You will need the following tools to install the wheels:
• 17 mm wrench OR adjustable wrench (not included)
• Socket wrench with a 16 mm socket (not included)
• Pliers (not included)
1. Before adding fuel and oil, tip the generator on it’s side.
2. Slide the M10x120 flange bolt through the washer,
sleeve and wheel.
3. Slide the bolt through the mount point on the frame.
4. Fasten securely with the M10 lock nut.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to attach the second wheel.
Install the Support Leg
1. Attach the vibration mounts to the support leg with
a flange bolt M8 x 25 and flange lock nuts.
2. Attach the support leg to the generator frame with
flange bolts M8 x 16 and flange lock nuts and
fasten securely. DO NOT over tighten the lock nuts.
3. Tip the generator slowly so that it rests on the
wheels and support leg.
The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
CAUTION
Connect the Battery (Electric Start Models
only)
1. Remove the protective cover from the red (+) lead on
the battery.
2. Attach the red (+) lead to the red (+) terminal on the
battery with the cap screw (M5x10) and secure with
the lock washer (M5).
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for the black (–) battery lead.

7
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
Add Engine Oil
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 failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
ASSEMBLY
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial
break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold
ambient <5ºC (41ºF)
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
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 and help
seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.

Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator
has been provided on the power panel. For remote
grounding, connect of 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.
Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in electric shock.
WARNING
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.
NOTE
Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content
of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel
can expand after filling. A minimum of
¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank as
a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can affect
the stable running condition of the product. When
filling the tank, it is recommended to leave enough
space for the fuel to expand.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the
top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the

OPERATION
Generator Location
Never operate the generator inside any building! (See
safety warnings section). In some areas generators must
be registered with the local utility company. Generators
used on construction sites may be subject to local
rules and regulations. Keep on a flat, level surface.
Generators must have at least 5 ft (1.5m) clearance
from all combustible material. In addition they must
have at least 3 ft (91.4cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Generators should never be started or operated in ant
location that will not allow for adequate cooling of
the generator and/or the muffler. Allow generators to
cool before storage or transportation. Do not place the
generator near any vents or intakes. Carefully consider
wind and air currents when placing generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,
or wet weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet
conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution.
WARNING
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes
produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator
is blocked or contained, temperatures can become
extremely heated and may lead to fire.
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.
1. 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.
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
CAUTION
Starting the Engine
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 Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
5. Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
6. For models that have an ELECTRIC START: Press
and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position.
Release as the engine begins to roll over. If the engine
fails to start within five seconds, release the switch
and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to
start the engine again.
7. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly
8. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the
ground terminals on the power panel. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.

Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 220 Volt AC single
phase, 50 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 60 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s
power lines or to another power source may be against
the law. In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could
damage your generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility worker
who may be working on nearby power lines. If you plan
to run a portable electric generator during an outage,
please notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly into the
generator. Do not plug the generator into any electric
outlet in your home. Doing so could create a connection
to the utility company power lines. You are responsible
for ensuring that your generator’s electricity does not
feed back into the electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical
system, consult your local utility company or a qualified
electrician. Connections must isolate generator power
from utility power and must comply with all applicable
laws and codes.
NOTE
OPERATION
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Press the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Ignition Switch are in the “OFF” position when the
engine is not in use.
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not 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.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move
choke lever to the “Run” position for up to the next
3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke will
cause the engine not to start.

Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at
the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is
the amount of power you need to keep your items
running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2. Surge wattage is the extra
burst of power needed to start some electric driven
equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.
Power Management
