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 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, be sure 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 it cool for at least two minutes
before removing the gasoline cap. 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. 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.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start
the engine.
Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, be sure 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.
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.

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 level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
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 increase 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
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. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. 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. 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 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
blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends 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. The
compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or 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 improper
gasoline, 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)
Connecting an LPG cylinder
1. Make sure the fuel select dial is in the “ENGINE STOP”
position.
2. Remove the rubber protective plug from the female connector
of the LPG hose.
3. Pull and hold the outer collar of the female connector and
insert it over the male connector. Release outer collar. Pull on
the hose to make sure it’s connected to the generator.
4. Connect the other end of the LPG hose to the LPG cylinder
valve and hand tighten.
5. Open valve on LPG cylinder and 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 connects to 20, 30,
and 40 pound LPG cylinders.
–Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not
expired.
–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.
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
disconnect cylinder from the generator. 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 frame of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
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.
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
CO Shield®- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection
and Auto-shutoff System
The CO Shield®technology monitors the accumulation of
poisonous CO gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator
is running. If CO Shield detects elevated levels of CO gas, it
automatically shuts off the engine. Generators are intended to
be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings and exhaust
pointed away from people and buildings.
If misused and operated in a location that results in the
accumulation of CO inside an enclosed or partially enclosed space,
for example a house, garage or a garage with the door partially
open, CO Shield will automatically shut off the generator and then
illuminate a red LED. Read the action label for what steps to take.
CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide
alarm.

Move the generator to an open, outdoor area and point the
exhaust away from people and buildings. Once relocated to a safe
area, the generator can be restarted, and the proper electrical
connections made. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the location
where the generator shut off.
When starting, the red and yellow LED will blink ten (10) times
simultaneously to indicate the LED is working.
NOTICE
This blinking does not indicate CO Shield is working, as CO
Shield is working at all times the generator is running. Also,
the LED will not blink (10) times if the generator was restarted
within 1 minute after it was manually shut off. This does not
occur if generator shut off from a high CO event.
If CO Shield system experiences a fault and no longer provides
protection, the generator is shutoff automatically and the yellow
LED light will blink for at least five (5) minutes to notify you of the
fault.

The generator can be restarted, but will continue to shutoff.
CO Shield will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from
other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools, or
propane heaters used in the area of operation. If another generator
is used and the exhaust is pointed at a CO Shield equipped
generator, the CO Shield may initiate a shutoff due to rising carbon
monoxide levels. This is not a fault. Hazardous carbon monoxide
has been detected. You must take action to move and direct the
equipment to better dissipate carbon monoxide far away from
people or buildings.
WARNING
Tampering with CO Shield®could result in a hazardous
condition. Removing the CO Shield module will not allow the
generator to start.
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In
some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility.
Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional
rules and regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface
at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators must have
at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material.
In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators
must also have at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators
should never be started or operated in the back of a SUV, camper,
trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, flat or otherwise), under
staircases/stairwells, next to walls or buildings, or in any other
location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator
and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during operation.
Allow generators to properly cool before transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the
generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be
drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING
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
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.

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 select dial to the “GASOLINE RUN” position.
4. Move the choke to the “CHOKE” position.
5. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke to 75% of the
“CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly.
7. When engine starts running, move choke lever slowly to the
“RUN” position over a 2-5 second period.
NOTICE
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil
starter. After first pull, move choke to “RUN” position for up
to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark
plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This
will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient
temperature > 86°F (30°C), keep choke in 75% of the
“CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After
first pull, move choke to “RUN” position for up to 3 pulls of
the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/
engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause the
engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C), the choke must be in 100% of the “CHOKE” position
for recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as
engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position over a 2-5 second duration.
