GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage,
EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Avoid other generator hazards. READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away
from windows, doors and vents.
The exhaust system must be properly
maintained. Do not alter or modify the
exhaust system as to render it unsafe or
make it noncompliant with local codes
and/or standards. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Always, install battery operated carbon
monoxide alarm indoors and installed
according to the manufacturer’s
instruction.
• Operate this product ONLY outside and at least
20 feet away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from
accumulating and potentially being drawn towards
occupied spaces.
DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, sheds, or other
partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or
opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon
monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and
can linger for hours, even after this product has
shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point
the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces. If
you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using
this product, shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT
AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using
the portable generator, you may have carbon
monoxide poisoning. Get out side to fresh air
immediately and call 911 for emergency medical
attention. Very high levels of CO can rapidly cause
victims to lose consciousness before they can
rescue themselves. DO NOT attempt to shut off the
generator before moving to fresh air. Entering an
enclosed space where a generator is or has been
running may put you at greater risk of CO
poisoning.
WARNING

Page 03
• Operate generators outside and at least 20 feet away from any structure with exhaust pointed away from doors
and windows.
CORRECT USAGE
INCORRECT USAGE
Example location to reduce risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
• Near any door, window or vent
• Garage
• Basement
• Crawl Space

will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
WARNING
DANGER
Gasoline and gasoline vapors
• Gasoline is a liquid and can cause a fire or
explosion if ignited. Gasoline vapors can ignite as
well.
• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned
up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
• Gasoline has a distinctive odor; this will help detect
potential leaks quickly.
• In case of a petroleum gas fire, do not attempt to
extinguish the flame if the fuel supply valve is in the
ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a
generator with an open fuel supply valve could
create an explosion hazard.
• Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient
temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank to full
capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if
temperatures rise.
Gasoline, gasoline vapor, propane/LPG and NG are
highly flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
DANGER
Do not overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. If
fuel spills wait until it evaporates before starting
engine. Failure to do so will result in death and
serious injury.
• Propane/LPG and Natural Gas(NG) are highly
flammable and explosive.
• LPG and NG are heavier than air and can settle in low
places while dissipating.
• Propane/LPG has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks quickly.
• In case of a petroleum gas fire, do not attempt to
extinguish the flame if the fuel supply valve is in the
ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a
generator with an open fuel supply valve could
create an explosion hazard.
• When exchanging propane/ LPG cylinders, be sure
the cylinder valve is of the same type.
• Always keep the propane/LPG cylinder in an upright
position.
• Propane/LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact
•
with it. Keep it away from skin at all times.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING GASOLINE
• Turn generator engine off and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing gasoline cap. Loosen cap
slowly to relieve pressure in gasoline tank.
• Only fill or drain gasoline tank outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT overfill gasoline tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion.
• If gasoline spills, wipe spilled gasoline from the unit
or wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
• DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the gasoline to the generator.
WHEN STARTING GENERATOR
• Ensure spark plug, exhaust system, gasoline cap,
fuel lines, propane/LPG regulator, NG hose and air
filter are in place.
• Wipe spilled gasoline or wait until it evaporates
before starting engine.

provides protection. The generator is shutoff automatically and the yellow light will blink for at least five minutes
after shutoff. Call A-iPower Customer Service 855-888-3598 for repair. Do not use the generator until the
at least 20 feet away from
windows, doors and vents
Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU content, ambient
temperature, altitude, engine conditions, etc. Maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above
sea level, and will also decrease about 1% for each 10°F(6°C) above 60°F( 16°C) ambient temperature.

sensor is working properly. The CO WATCH-GUARD must only be serviced by qualified technician to restore it
to original settings.
DO NOT modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide Detecting System (CO WATCH-GUARD). Not following
these instructions could result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide detecting system malfunction.
CO WATCH-GUARD will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as
engine powered tools used in the area of operation. If another generator is used and the exhaust is pointed at a
CO WATCH-GUARD equipped generator, the CO WATCH-GUARD may initiate a shutoff due to rising carbon
monoxide levels. This is not a fault. Hazardous carbon monoxide has been detected. You must take action to
move and direct the equipment to better dissipate carbon monoxide far away from people or buildings.
CO WATCH-GUARD only monitors when the generator is running.
CO WATCH-GUARD DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms.
Tempering with the CO WATCH-GUARD will void your warranty.
WARNING
Tampering with CO WATCH-GUARD could result in a hazardous condition. Removing the CO WATCH-GUARD
module will not allow the generator to start.
WARNING

A
B
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage due to operation
with no oil will void your warranty.
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.
Add Engine Oil
We recommend using SAE 10W-30 APISJ oil for
best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils
(APISJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special
additives. Ambient temperature determines the
proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to
select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature
range expected.
Low Oil Shutdown
The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the
oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will
activate a warning device or stop the engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at
an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an even
surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil
level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level
switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.
Add Fuel:Gasoline
Gasoline must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine with a minimum 87 octane / 87 AKI (91RON).
Do not use E85 or E15. For high altitude use, see
"Operation at High Altitude".
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
1. Place generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick (A).
3. Wipe dipstick clean.
4. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of provided
oil bottle into oil filler neck (B) to the "H" mark on
dipstick. Be careful do not overfill. Overfilling with
oil could cause the engine to not start or hard
starting.
5. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick (A) and fully tighten.
6. Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at
least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level
maintained.

1. Remove the gasoline cap (A) slowly.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to gasoline tank. Be
careful not to fill above the red fuel level indicator
(B). This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
3. Install gasoline cap and let any spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine or wipe the spilled
gasoline.
B
A
WHEN ADDING GASOLINE
• Only fill the gasoline tank outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT overfill gasoline tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion.
• If gasoline spills, wipe spilled gasoline from the unit
or wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
• DO NOT fill the tank when the generator is running
or hot.
• DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the gasoline to the generator.
NOTICE
• Only fill the tank from an approved gasoline
container. Make sure the gasoline container is
internally clean and in good condition to prevent
fuel system contamination.
• Gasoline can damage paint and plastic. Use caution
when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
gasoline is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the fuel screen filter of debris before and after
each fueling. Remove the fuel screen filter by
slightly compressing it while removing it from the
fuel tank.
• It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture, which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. See the "Long
Term Storage" section. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
Add Fuel: Propane/LPG
DANGER
Propane/LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• The provided propane/LPG hose with regulator,
works with standard 20, 30 and 40 pound capacity
cylinders with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not
expired. Do not use rusted or damaged cylinders.
• Only use provided propane/LPG hose for safe
propane operation.
1. Make certain both gasoline and propane/LPG
valves are closed.
2. Remove the rubber protective plugs (if it is avaiable)
and attach the propane/LPG hose with regulator to
the LPG/NG inlet located on the side control
panel of the generator. Tighten with a 19mm or
adjustable wrench. DO NOT over-tighten.
3. Remove safety plug from the propane/LPG cylinder
valve (if it is available) and attach the other end of
the propane/LPG hose with regulator to cylinder
valve. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a
positive stop.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use thread seal tape or any
type of sealant to seal the propane LPG hose
connections.
4. Prior to each day, first use LPG spray a soapy
water solution on LPG connections to check for
leaks.

• Prior to each day, first use LPG spray a soapy
water solution on LPG connections to check for
leaks.
Add Fuel: NG
DANGER
DANGER
Do not start generator if you smell propane. Always
fully close the propane tank valve and disconnect the
propane/LPG hose from the generator when not in use.
5 . Open valve on propane LPG cylinder and 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 valve on
the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve
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.
NOTICE
• Use only an approved LPG cylinder equipped with
an OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve.
• DO NOT check for leaks with a lighted match or
flame.
• The propane cylinder valve should be fully closed
when the generator is not in use or is running with
gasoline.
• The regulator/hose assembly and cylinder valve
must be inspected before each use for leaks or sign
of damages.
• 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 your
propane gas supplier.
• Propane/LPG is heavier than air and can
accumulate in confined spaces and low places in
the event of a leak
• Propane/LPG has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks quickly.
• In case of a petroleum gas fire, do not attempt to
extinguish the flame if the fuel supply valve is in the
ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a
generator with an open fuel supply valve could
create an explosion hazard.
• When exchanging propane/ LPG cylinders, be sure
the cylinder valve is of the same type.
• Always keep the propane/LPG cylinder in an upright
position.
• Propane/LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact
with it. Keep Propane/LPG away from skin at all times.
• Always position the cylinder so the connection
between the valve and the regulator won’t cause
bends or kinks in the hose.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes while you are
connecting the propane/LPG cylinder.Check the fuel
system periodically for leaks or signs of damages.
• In the event of an LPG fire, flames should not be
extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply
valve can be turned off. If the fire is extinguished
and a supply of fuel is not turned off, an explosion
hazard greater than the fire hazard could be created.
Attach the NG hose (not included) to NG connector
(inlet) on the generator and the NG Source. We recom-
mend you use A-ipower Quick Connect Hose Kit for
Natural Gas (NG)connection (This item is not includ-
ed). Make sure the NG source location and hose used
allows the portable generator to be located at least 20
ft (6 m) from any occupied spaces.
• Do not place the NG sources in the path of muffler
outlet or near any ignition source.Keep a fire
extinguisher near the generator all the time.
• Do not use or store NG portable sources not in use
near generator or in a building, garageor enclosed
area.

Liquid Petroleum Natural Gas (NG) are extremely
flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting
in death or serious injury.

Operation using an alternative main jet at elevations
lower than the recommended minimum altitude can
damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations,
the standard main jet supplied must be used.
Operating the engine with the wrong main jet may
increase exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and
reduce performance.
Operation at High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a
minimum 85 octane gasoline is acceptable. Engine
power and generator output will be reduced
approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of
elevation above sea level. High altitude may cause
hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark
plug fouling. To operate at high altitudes A-iPower
can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can
be obtained by contacting Customer Support.

Grounding
The national electrical requires your generator must
be connected properly to an appropriate ground to
help prevent electric shock.
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals
on the AC output receptacles. There may be Federal
or State regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Consult a
qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction. This generator is not
intended to be used at a construction site or similar
activity as defined by NFPA 70-2020 (NEC) section
590.6.
Connecting to a Building's Electrical System
Connections to your home’s electrical system must
use a listed transfer switch installed by a licensed
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator
power from the utility power and comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground
the generator can result in electric shock.
• If you smell gas, close off all gas sources and
