1. SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 OPERATOR ATTENTION
Read and understand this manual before operating the
generator.
Place the generator in a place where pedestrians, children and
pets are not likely to touch.Do not let children operate the
generator without supervision. Protect children by keeping
them at a safe distance from the generating set.
Turn OFF the Fuel Tap before tilting the generator.
The generator is allowed to be
tilted down, but ONLY lay on
the Drawbar Side, and only
after stopping the engine. If lay
down on otherside, OIL may
leak and damage the engine or
your property. Also FUEL may
leak and cause FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.

‐7‐
DO NOT remove any cover of the generator case when the
engine is running. If not, inverter, alternator or other electric
parts may be damaged because of bad cooling.
1.2 EXHAUST FUMES HAZARDS


Exhaust fumes contains poisonous carbon monoxide（CO）,
a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing CO can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Never run your generator inside a garage or house, even if
door or window is open. Operate the generator in a well-
ventilated area.

‐8‐
1.3 ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS

Never operate the engine in rain, snow or wet locations.
Never touch the machine with wet hands.
Ground unit to avoid electrical hazards.
Electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections)
should not be defective.
The generating set must not be connected to other power
sources, such as the power company supply mains. In special
cases where stand-by connection to existing electrical
systems is intended, it shall only be performed by a qualified
electrician who has to consider the differences between
operating equipment using the public electrical supply network
and operating the generating set. In accordance with this part
of ISO 8528 the differences shall be stated in the instruction
manual.
When using extension lines or mobile distribution networks the

‐9‐
total length of lines for a cross section of 1.5 mm2should not
exceed 60 m; for a cross section of 2.5 mm2this should not
exceed 100 m.
1.4 FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS
 


Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a
well-ventilated area with the engine stopped and cooled.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during
operation. Do not refuel while smoking or near naked flames.
Do not spill fuel.
Check FUEL LEAKAGE before each use. DO NOT use the

‐10‐
generator if the generator is leaking fuel.
The generator is allowed to be tilted down, but ONLY lay down
on the Drawbar Side. If lay down on other side, OIL may leak
and damage the engine or your property. Also FUEL may leak
and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains
hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to
touch the muffler while it is hot.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may
cause burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the generating
set.
Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet
during operation.
Keep the generator at least 1 m (3 ft) from buildings or other
equipment, or the generator may overheat.
Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating
set in unventilated rooms. When installed in ventilated rooms,
additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall
be observed.

‐11‐
1.5 CONNECTION NOTES

Do not connect to a building electrical system unless an
isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any other
generator.

4. PREPARATION
4.1 ENGINE OIL
NOTE
The engine has been shipped from our factory without oil. Put
oil before starting.
Recommended engine oil: 4-stroke engine oil, SAE 10W-30 or

‐18‐
10W-40, API SE/SF/SG/SH/SJ or higher.
Engine oil quantity: 0.35L.

 
Add Engine Oil:
(1). Open the Oil Maintenance Cover 1, and remove the Oil
Cap/Dipstick 2.
(2). Fill the specified amount of the recommended engine oil by the Oil
Funnel 4(Refer to the section 10.1 of this manual), and then install and
tighten the Oil Cap/Dipstick 2.
NOTE
Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
Keep the engine oil level between LOWER LIMIT and UPPER
LIMIT. Too much or too little oil will shorten the service life of
the engine.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent
the engine from running. If the oil level falls below a critical
threshold, the engine will stop automatically.

‐19‐
When the engine shuts down automatically by the low oil
protection, the LOW OIL LEVEL LED (yellow) will come on,
and unless you refill with oil, the engine will not start again.
4.2 FUEL
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
DONOT fill above the Red Level
, otherwise it may overflow
when the fuel warms up and expands.
Check FUEL LEAKAGE before each use. DO NOT use the
generator if the generator is leaking fuel.
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth,
since fuel may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts.
Add Fuel:
(1). Remove the Fuel Cap 1 and fill the fuel into the tank up to the Red
Level 2.
(2). The fuel level in the fuel tank can be checked through the Fuel
Gauge 3.
