1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1) Safety Labels
DANGER
This symbol refers to a hazardous or unsafe practice which
has the potential to result in personal injury or product /
property damage.
WARNING
This symbol warns of immediate hazards which will result in
severe or lethal personal injury.
This symbol warns of hazards which can result in severe or
lethal personal injury.
CAUTION
1.2) Operations Safety
• Always perform a pre-operation check before starting the
engine.
• Properly clean and maintain the equipment.
• Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and
dependable service.
• Before operating the generator, read the user manual care-
fully. Otherwise, it may result in personal injuries or equip-
ment damage.
• Never run the generator in an enclosed area to avoid harm
from exhaust emissions of a poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
• Be careful not to touch the exhaust system during operation
because it can cause burns.
• Pay attention to the warning labels because the engine
exhaust system will become heated during operation and
remain hot immediately after the engine is stopped.

4.
EN
• Gasoline is a highly ammable and explosive liquid. Refuel
in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarette,
open ames, smoke and/or sparks.
• Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical
system must be done by a qualied electrician and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Im-
proper connections may cause serious injuries to electrical
workers during power outage, and when the utility power
is restored, the generator may explode or cause res.
• Place the generator at least 3ft away from buildings or
other equipment during operation.
• Run the generator on a level surface. If the generator tilts,
fuel spillage may result.
• Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand
operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to oper-
ate the generator without proper instructions.
• Keep children, pets and rotating parts away from the gen-
erator during operation.
• Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.
• Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the
generator.
• Do not touch the spark plug while the generator is operat-
ing and shortly after the generator has been shut down
1.3) AC Safety Guidlines
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power
cord:
• Make sure that everything is in right working order. Faulty
devices or power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
• Turn o the generator immediately if the device begins
to operate abnormally. Then disconnect the device and
investigate the problem.
• Make sure that the electrical rating of the device does
not exceed that of the generator. If the power level of the
device is between the maximum output power and the
running power of the generator, the generator should not
be used for more than 30 minutes.
• The connections from the generator to the household pow-
er supply should be done by professional electrical techni-
cians. Improper connections may lead to a re hazard or

5.
EN
damages to the generator set.
1.4) Maintenance Safety
• After any maintenance is performed, wash your body immedi-
ately using soap and clean water because repeated exposure to
lubricant may cause skin irritation.
• Do not clean the lter element with ammable liquids like
gasoline because explosion may occur.
• Turn o the generator set before performing any mainte-
nance. Otherwise it can cause severe personal injury or
death
• Allow the generator set to cool down before performing
any maintenance.
• Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator
set with air.
• Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer
because it can cause damage to the generator set.
• Before working with batteries, ventilate the area, wear
safety glasses, do not smoke and always disconnect the
negative cable rst and reconnect it last.
• Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine
oil.
• Always stop the generator set before removing the oil ller
cap.
• Only qualied maintenance personnel with knowledge of
fuels, electricity, and machinery hazards should perform
maintenance procedures.
1.5) Other Safety Hazards
• To avoid breathing in poisonous carbon monoxide from the
exhaust gases, adequate ventilation should be provided if
the generator set is running in a partially enclosed space.
• If the generator set is stored outdoors, check all the elec-
trical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture can damage the generator and can lead to an
electric shock.

3. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface
2. Inspect engine oil:
• Take out the oil ller cap and clean the dipstick.
• Check the oil level by reinserting the oil ller cap without rotat-
ing it. Remove the oil ller cap and examine the oil level. If the
oil level is at or below the lower level, rell the oil to the upper
limit mark. (15W40 Oil for all three models)
• Reinsert the oil ller cap and tighten securely. (Refer to Fig.
3.0)
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never
run the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide
adequate ventilation
Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is
tilted, fuel spillage may result
Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
WARNING
The generator is air-cooled and may be damaged if ventila-
tion is inadequate
CAUTION
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious
engine damage.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Non-detergent or vegetable oils are not recom-
mended.
CAUTION

3. Fuel level check
• Check the fuel level by reading the gauge or removing the fuel
tank cap to visually check the level.
• Refuel if level is too low. Tighten the fuel tank cap securely
after lling. (Refer to Fig. 3.1)

NOTICE
When the oil level is low, the low oil light on the control panel
will ash and the engine will automatically shut down. Then
take o the oil dipstick to check the oil level
4. Check the air lter
1. Loosen the knob and remove the air lter cover. Re-
move the air lter element and observe for cleanliness
(Refer to Fig. 3.2)
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area
where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored
Do not overfill the tank
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Wipe up any spilt
gasoline and let the area dry before starting the engine.
WARNING
Gasoline substitutes, such as gasohol etc., are not recom-
mended, they may be harmful to the fuel system compo-
nents.
CAUTION
