1.2 AC SAFETY
Warning!
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:
Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or
power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
Turn off 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.
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. Improper connections may cause serious injuries to
electrical workers during a power outage, and when the utility power is
restored, the generator may explode or cause res. The generator shall
be connected through transfer equipment that switches all conductors
other than the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the
generator shall be connected to an approved grounding electrode.
6HY2200P

For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are
better suited for providing backup power to the home. Even a properly
connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in
overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading to a
generator failure.
This unit is oating neutral. 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.
1.3 MAINTENANCE SAFETY

2.3 CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EcoMode (Economy Control Switch)
Turn EcoMode ON to minimize fuel consumption. In this mode the
engine will dynamically meet the demand of the electrical load and will
automatically go into an idle state if all loads are disconnected.
Before connecting or removing a high load device to the generator, turn
EcoMode OFF until that device has reached running power.
When EcoMode is OFF, the engine runs at full speed.
Reset Button
If the red overload indicator light is on, press and hold the reset button
for 1 second until the overload indicator light turns off and the green
output indicator light turns on. This will recover generator output without
shutting down the engine.
If the generator is running normally, the RESET button will have no effect.
NOTE
The RESET button is available a maximum of 5 times for every full start
of the generator. Shut down the generator and restart using the power
switch to refresh available resets.
Output and Overload Indicator
In normal operation, the green output indicator light (READY) will remain
on.
If the generator is overloaded (producing more than 1600W) or a
connected appliance has short-circuited, the output indicator light will
turn off and the overload indicator light will turn on.
USB Ports
A total of 3.1A is available at 5.0V. A single port can draw the full 3.1A or
it will be distributed as needed. For example, a 1A device will only draw
1A.

HYUNDAI

AC Circuit Breaker
While the generator is running, the breakers should be in the ON position.
If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop
out to the OFF position. Reduce the electrical load on the generator and
push the button back to the ON position.
Low Oil Indicator Light
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by
an insufcient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase reaches an unsafe limit, the oil alert system will automatically
shut down the engine (the power switch remains in the ON position).
If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the low oil indicator light
(red) will turn on. Check the engine oil level.

4. STARTING THE ENGINE
DANGER!
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO),
a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the
generator exhaust you are breathing CO. Even if you cannot smell
the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside a home, garage, crawlspace, or
other partly enclosed area, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors
will NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows,
doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the
home. ALWAYS use a CO alarm in your home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY and seek medical
attention. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning. Never
run the generator in an enclosed or even partially enclosed area
where people may be present.

Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation (Above 2000 feet)
NOTE
This engine is equipped to run at altitudes below 2,000-ft.
A high-altitude Main Jet is recommended when operated at 2,000 to
7,000-ft above sea level.
At elevations above 7,000-ft the engine may experience decreased
performance even with a high-altitude Main Jet.
At high altitudes the carburetor’s air/fuel mixture becomes too rich, resulting in higher
fuel consumption, lower performance, and carbon build-up on the spark plug. On
the other hand, if the carburetor has been modied for high altitude operation and is
operated below 2000-ft, the air/fuel mixture will then be too lean for low altitude use.
Always use the correct Main Jet for your altitude.
The engine’s carburetor, governor (if so equipped), and any other parts that control
the air/fuel ratio will need to be adjusted by a qualied mechanic to allow efcient
high-altitude use, and to prevent damage to the engine and any other devices used
with this product. The fuel system on this engine may be inuenced by operation at
higher altitudes.
Carburetor bowl may have gas in it which will leak upon removing the
bolt.
The mixing tube is held in place by the Main Jet and might fall out when
it is removed. If it falls out, replace it in the same orientation before
replacing the Main Jet.
The Fuel Cup Seal and Bolt Seal may be damaged during removal and
should be replaced with the new ones.
