Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during
filling with fuel.
Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure
which has built up inside the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before
starting the motor.
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 meters away from the area for filling with
fuel.
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator
upright, otherwise the fuel may escape from the carburetor or the fuel tank.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of
the current produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
Do not run the generator near water.
Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the
current and that they are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation
of a building must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the
provisions of the applicable laws and norms in the field of electricity. Incorrect
connections will cause leakage of the current from the generator into the lines of the
public electricity company. Such leakage could electrocute the workers of the public
electricity company working on the network or other persons in contact with the line
during a power cut. Also, when the public power supply is re-established, the generator
can explode, catch fire or generate fires in the building’s electrical installation.

Before connecting electrical devices to the generator, make sure that their
voltage specifications and frequency of functioning correspond to the technical
characteristics of the generator. There may be damage if the device connected is not
designed to function with a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% or a frequency tolerance of +/-
3 % compared with those of the generator.
Protection of the environment
You must periodically check the silencer (Before doing this, switch off the generator and
let it cool completely). A damaged silencer increases noise.
Do not throw motor oil into the drains but deposit it at a collection point set up for that
purpose.
The fuel for this machine is combustible and explosive. After stopping the machine, you
must handle the remaining fuel correctly and meet local environmental requirements.
FUEL SAFETY
DANGER!
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas): GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
— Gas can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
— Gas is a liquid fuel but its vapors can ignite.
— Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
— Gas has a distinctive odor; this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
— In any 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.
— Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never fill the gas tank to full capacity,
as gas needs room to expand if temperatures rise.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG):
— LPG IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
— Flammable gas under pressure can cause a tire 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 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.
— 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 bum skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all
times.

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
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 <5°C
(41°F)
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

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 1/4 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.
CAUTION:
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately 1/4 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 gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to
the generator.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
WARNING:
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
NOTE:
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, or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’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.
Connecting Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder
1. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the inverter is in the 12 o’clock (vertical) position. (A)
2. Using your fingers, slide the outer barrel back on the LPG quick connect hose fitting (B).
3. While the outer barrel is in the back position, insert the LPG hose (included) into the inlet and release
the outer barrel. The barrel will automatically return and lock the hose in the inlet.
4. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG cylinder and tighten.
6. 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 gas valve at the tank and tighten the fitting. Turn the gas 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.

NOTE
— Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
— Verify the requalification date on the tank has not expired.
— All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling. Used cylinders that have not
been plugged or kept closed must also be purged.
— The purging process should be done by a LPG supplier. (Cylinders from an exchange supplier
should have been purged and filled properly already).
— Always position the cylinder so the connection between the valve and the gas inlet won’t cause
sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
CAUTION:
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the 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 fuel valve, and disconnect the cylinder.
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:
It there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the gas supply at the cylinder. Use soapy water, which will
produce a large bubble at the point of any leak, to check the hose, and connections on the cylinder
valve and the generator. 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 the 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 on the power panel. For

4. OPERATION
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawl spaces 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 produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or it the generator is blocked or contained, temperatures can become,
extremely heated and may lead to fire.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the ground terminals on the power panel.
— 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, unless the neutral wire is bonded to the frame.
Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the inverter is designed to choose the desired fuel
source— Gasoline or LPG. To select the desired fuel source, simply rotate the selector switch to the
fuel symbol on the panel. Turn the fuel selector switch to the 12 o’clock (vertical) position for LPG
operation. (A)
Turn the fuel selector switch to 3 o’clock (horizontal) position for gasoline operation (B)

turn the selector switch to 12 o’clock position
Starting the Inverter
CAUTION:
If the ignition switch is held down in the Start”position longer than 5 seconds it could damage the
NOTE:
If the engine starts but does not continue to 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
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 selector switch to the “Horizontal” position.
4. Push the choke out to the “CHOK” position.
5. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
6. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
7. Do not over-choke. Allow the engine to warm up several seconds before gradually pushing the choke
to the “RUN’ position.
NOTE: Keep choke in “Choke” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, push choke in
for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine
flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
LPG
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 selector switch to the “Vertical” position and connect LPG hose.
4. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob.

10. If engine fails to start in 1-pull with choke in the “RUN” position, then pull choke out and repeat the
PULL-TO-PRIME step.
NOTE:
Observing frost on LPG containers and regulators is common during operation and normally is not an
indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and travels from the tank to the generator engine it expands.
The amount of frost that forms can be affected by the size of the container, the amount of fuel being
used, the humidity of the air and other operating conditions. In unusual situations this frost may
eventually restrict the flow of gas to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. For example, if
the tank temperature is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG vaporizes is also
reduced and may not provide sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is not an indication of a problem
with the generator but only a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG container. If generator
performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is observed on tank valve,
hose or regulator then some actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom. In these rare situations it
can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing one of the following:
—Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank to warm up, repeating as necessary
—Placing the LPG container at the end of the generator near the handle, where engine tan air flows
out from the generator. This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The container should not
be placed in the path of the muffler outlet.
—The container can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm water over the top of the tank.
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while
operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine speed to idle during
periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is connected. When the
economy switch is off, the engine runs at normal speed continuously
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF
12V DC Outlet
The 12V DC outlet can be used with the supplied USB charger and other commercially available 12V
DC automotive style plugs. The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products. Confirm
your accessory input voltage range is at least 12-24V DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Economy
mode switch to the “OFF”position.
Do not operate a device while It Is plugged in to the 12V DC outlet
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury or death.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS > EN

While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side of the generator. Extreme heat caused by
exhaust can damage the device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
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—240 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
NOTE:
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.
Do Not Overload Generator Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes.
I 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
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to watts: Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5—6 for each additional item.
NOTE: Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the generator.
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 if operating by gas.
4. Turn the LPG cylinder knob to the “CLOSE” or off position if operating by LPG.
5. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
6. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
