INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual carefully- familiarize
yourself with the appliance. Follow all
operational notes and restrictions, and
take note of possible hazards of this device.
Place the appliance on stable surfaces
only.
The load must not exceed the power
marked on the rating label of the generator.
Overloading may result in damage to, or a
shorter life of the appliance.
The motor must not be operated with
excessive rotary speed. The operation of
the motor with excessive rotary speed
raises the risk of injury. Parts which affect
the rotary speed must not be altered or
replaced.
Do not operate or store the appliance in wet
or humid surroundings or on highly
conductive surfaces such as metal coatings
or steel constructions.
Do not operate or store the appliance in wet
or humid surroundings.
DANGER
POISONOUS GAS
Engine exhaust gas is poisonous; don’t
operate in an unventilated room. When
installed in ventilated room, additional
requirement for fire and explosion protection
shall be observed.
Gasoline is highly flammable and easily ignited!
To ensure personal and property safety, please
carefully read the following.

Don’t refuel during operation;
Don’t refuel while smoking or near naked
flames;
Don’t spill fuel;
Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose;
Refuel outdoors only and don’t smoke while
refueling;
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add
gasoline while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot;
If gasoline is spilled, don’t attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until petrol vapours have
dissipated;
Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely;
Always turn generator off before refueling.
Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.
Do not overfill gas tank. Gas may expand
during operation. Do not fill to the top of the
tank.
Always check for spilled gas before operating.
Empty gasoline tank before storing or
transporting the generator.
Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off and
disconnect spark plug.
This generator produces powerful voltage,
which can result in electrocution!
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it
(see the “Ground the Generator” portion of the
“PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE”
section).
Generator should only be plugged into
electrical devices, either directly or with an

extension cord. When using extension lines
or mobile distribution networks the total
2
length of lines for a cross section of 1.5 mm
should not exceed 60 m; for a cross section of
2
2.5 mm this should not exceed 100 m.
NEVER connect to other power sources.
Do not use in rainy or wet conditions.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles
(outlets).
Protect children by keeping them at a safe
distance from the generating set. Do not
allow children or non-qualied persons to
operate.
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.
Protection against electrical shock depends
on circuit breakers specially matched to the
generating set. If the circuit breakers require
replacement they must be replaced with a
circuit breaker having identical ratings and
performance characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses only tough
rubber-sheathed exible cable or the
equivalent should be used.
The user that he shall conform to regulations of
electrical safety applicable to the place where
the generating sets are used.
The generator ground terminal is connected to
the frame of the generator, the metal non-
current carrying parts of the generator, and
ground terminal of each receptacle. Before
using the ground terminal, consult a qualied
electrician or electrical inspector for local
applicable regulations.
Connections for standby power to a building
electrical system must be made by a qualied
electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes. A transfer switch, which isolates the
generator power from utility power is available
through qualied equipment following local
laws and regulations.
This generator produces heat when running!

Some parts of the internal combustion
engine are hot and may cause burns. Do not
touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to the
warnings on the generating set.
Allow generator to cool several minutes after
use before touching engine or areas which
heat during use.
CAUTION
Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten
its life!
Use generator only for its intended purposes.
Operate only on dry, level surfaces; do not
operate the generator underground.
Allow generator to run for several minutes
before connecting electrical devices.
Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning
devices from generator.
Do not exceed the load capacity of the
generator by plugging in more electrical
devices than the unit can handle.
Do not turn on electrical devices until after they
are connected to the generator.
Turn off all connected electrical devices before
stopping the generator.
Do not operates the generator in potential
explosive condition
the user that he shall conform to regulations of
electrical safety applicable to the place where
the generating sets are used
the user in the case of re-supply by generating
sets of an installation, depending on existing
protective measures in this installation and
applicable regulations.

Press the multifunctional button,The generator's
multifunctional screen displays the engine's cumula-
tive working time, engine revolution, output voltage &
power, EFI components diagnosis information.

Never use inside a home or the unventilated
condition.
Fueling at the first time, refueling, or storing
for a long time, the Engine Switch should
firstly be opened for ten or twenty seconds, in
order to the enough fuel enter into external fuel pump.
5. STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE
Before starting engine, disconnect load with
AC receptacle.
WARNING
5.1.1) Turn the engine switch to “ON” position.For some models, the generator provides with
three types of starting system: recoil start,
electric start, remote start. Please operate
your generator based on you purchased
5.1) Recoil start
ENGINE SWITCH

STARTER GRIP
<<15>>
NOTE
■If the generator stops and can not restart,
check the oil level firstly.
If oil indicator light turns on red, and flicker
during running, or lights turns on when
starting, need to add oil.
NOTE
Return the starter grip slowly by hand. Do not
make the starter grip spring back quickly.
NOTE
5.1.4) Pull the starter grip slowly until it is
engaged, then pull it quickly.
NOTE
When the engine switch turn to “RUN/ON ”
position, the engine will enter the stand-by
starting mode. Starting the engine within
15n, otherwise, the mode will be ineffective.
mi
If the generator re-enters the stand-by starting
mode again, the engine switch should be return
to “OFF ”, and then turn to “RUN/ .ON ”
5.2) Electric start,
Turn on engine switch to "ON" position and
wait for 3 to 5 seconds, in order to let fuel
pump running 3~5 seconds and set up 300kPa
fuel pressure

CAUTION
For equipping with electrical starting system
of the generator, if the generator does not
equip with the battery or the battery wares
out, the generator can not be start by any
starting mode.
NOTE
