EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS
•Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, or in partly
enclosed areas such as garages, even if doors and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors
and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly
exhaust.
•The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell. This
poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
•Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to correct generator operation.
Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can
seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
•This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing that might render the exhaust
system unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or standards.
•The manufacturer recommends installing a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,
according to the manufacturers instructions.
•If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air
IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

FIRE HAZARDS
•Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking,
open flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline.
•Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool completely before adding fuel.
•Never fill fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline.
•Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion. If tank is over-filled, fuel
can overflow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Never store generator with
fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (as on a
furnace, water heater or clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Allow unit to cool
entirely before storage.
•Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left on or near
the generator. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris and keep a
clearance of five (5) feet on all sides to allow for proper ventilation of the generator.
•Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.
FUELING THE GENERATOR
Use care when fueling the generator. Only fill the fuel tank when the generator has cooled entirely. Use
fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum Research Octane Number (RON) of 87.
NOTE:
Do not use any gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol. NEVER fill the fuel tank with E85 or a
mixture of oil and gasoline designated for two-cycle engines.
Do not light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit
smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot.
Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool entirely before filling
fuel tank.

OPERATION
PRE-OPERATION
1. Check fuel level before starting your generator.
Always use clean, unleaded, mid-to-premium
grade gasoline for best results. Do not overfill and
allow some space at the top of the tank for
expansion.
We recommend that you use unleaded fuel
because it produces fewer engine and spark
plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust
system components. Using lower octane
gasoline can cause persistent “pinging” or
heavy “spark knock” which, if severe, can
lead to engine damage. If “spark knock” or
“pinging” occurs at a steady engine speed
under normal load, change brands of
gasoline.
2. Check oil level before starting the engine. The
oil level should be positioned between the lower
and upper marks of the oil fill cap shown on Page
4.
Never operate your generator under
these conditions:
Operate your generator only after
you have:
1. Rain or inclement weather
2. Excessive vibration
3. Sparking
4. Electric output loss
5. Changing or fluctuating engine speed
6. Overheating in connected equipment
7. Damaged receptacles
8. Engine misfire
9. Damaged, broken or missing parts
10. Shrouds/guards removed
1. Read and understand these
instructions
2. Clear immediate area of all
persons
3. Properly grounded the generator
4. Properly grounded any tools
or appliances that you’ll be
operating
5. Placed the generator on a flat,
level surface
6. Placed the generator in a well-
ventilated area
7. A 10-gauge copper wire

3. Only after the generator has stabilized and is
running smoothly should an appliance or tool
be plugged into the AC outlet of the generator.
GROUNDING
1. Use the ground terminal
on the generator to connect
the unit to a suitable ground
source. Securely fasten the
end terminal of the ground
wire to the ground terminal
on the generator.
2. A 10-gauge copper wire should be used to
connect the ground terminal of the generator to the
grounding rod. A wire that is too thin may not
provide sufficient electrical current carrying capacity
to be an adequate ground path.
3. The other end of the ground wire must be
securely fastened to an approved ground source.
Refer to the local regulations for ground source
information. If not sure of regulations or procedures,
obtain assistance from a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrical technician.
DC APPLICATION
1. The DC output is designed for charging a 12-volt
battery only.
2. The “+” (positive) terminal
or the battery must be
connected to the DC “+”
terminal on the generator,
and the “-“(negative) terminal
of the battery must be
connected to the DC
“-“ terminal on the generator.
STARTING
1. Remove all electrical loads from the generator.
2. Set the fuel switch to the open (ON) position.
3. Turn the engine switch in “ON” position.
4. Move the choke/run lever to the choke position.
5. Pull the starter rope with a brisk smooth motion.
6. Return choke/run lever to the switch to the run
position.
7. After starting the generator, allow the engine to
run for 2-3 minutes to stabilize before applying a

1,850W PORTABLE GASOLINE GENERATOR
ENGINE BREAK-IN
The break-in period for the generator’s engine is
the first 25 hours of operation. During this
timeframe, DO NOT exceed 75% of the
generator’s load limit. In other words, the
maximum load during this break-in period should
be no more than 700 watts.
ALWAYS check the oil level before starting.
When checking the oil, screw in the dipstick
slowly until it bottoms. If running the
generator for extended periods of time, check
the oil level every eight hours or at least daily.
Change oil after the first 8 hours of operation;
thereafter, change the oil every 50 hours of
operation. If operating the generator under
heavy load or in high ambient temperature,
change the oil every 25 hours of operation.
GENERATOR SHUTOFF
1. Remove all electrical load devices from the
generator.
2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3 minutes with no
electrical load.
3. Turn engine switch off. This will stop the
engine.
4. Set the fuel switch to closed (OFF) position.
5. Verify that the generator has completely
stopped.
6. Allow the unit to cool before placing in storage.
LOAD AND PROTECTOR
1. Total combined load through any
combination of receptacles must not
exceed rated power of generator.
2. Reduce load if AC protector or
DC protector (circuit breaker) turns
off. Press button to reset.
NOTE:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts
and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for
the generator or any individual receptacle. Refer
to owner’s manuals and product tags to determine
the wattage of electrical load devices. Long power
cords and extension cords draw additional power.
Keep cord lengths at a minimum.
OIL WARNING SYSTEM
If the engine oil level reaches an unsafe operating
level, the engine will stop automatically to prevent
overheating. Fill oil to a proper level.

MAINTENANCE
INFREQUENT USAGE
If the generator is used infrequently, starting
difficulties may occur. To help prevent this from
happening, the generator should be started and
run for approximately 30 minutes each week.
STORAGE
If the generator is not going to be used for an
extended period of time, the following
procedures should be performed:
1. Drain all fuel from the tank, lines, and
carburetor.
2. Drain oil while the engine is still warm.
3. Remove spark plug. Clean off any carbon
deposits. Check for discoloration - plug should
be tan in color. Check the gap, it should be
4. Pour approximately one teaspoon of oil into
spark plug hole.
5. Pull starter cord several times to spread the
oil throughout the cylinder.
6. Slowly pull the starter cord until resistance is
left. This indicates that the piston is moving
upward on the compression cycle, and the
intake and exhaust valves are closed. The
piston pushes a small amount of air from the
spark plug hole on compression.
7. Remove air filter from the generator, gently
wash in kerosene and let dry. Pour small
amount of motor oil onto clean air filter, gently
squeeze filter to uniformly distribute the oil, blot
excess motor oil from air filter (do not twist filter),
and replace the air filter.
