IISafety
Thankyou verymuchforselectingLoncingenerator,pleasecarefullyread and
understand thismanualbeforeoperatingthegenerator;safeoperation procedurescan
helpyou avoidaccidents.
Theprocedurestoensuresafeoperation:
1.Eachtimebeforestartingthe generator, preoperationcheckmust beperformed(see
item3ofContents)toavoidaccidentstotheoperatorsanddamagetothe
equipment.
2.Beforestartingthegenerator,goodventilationconditionsmustbeensured,andthe
engine mustbeatleastonemeterfromthebuildingoranyotherequipment; never
putanyinflammableobject nearthe generator.
3.Inordertoavoidscaldbythe generatororhurtbymovingparts,children and pets
mustbe keptawayfromthe operation area.
4.Fuelingmustbeperformed inaplacewithgood ventilation;beforeaddingoffuel,the
engine mustbestopped.Gasolineishighlyinflammableandeven explosiveunder
certainconditions.
5.When fuelingiscompleted,ensureno residualgasoline existson the surfaceofthe
generatorbeforerestartingthe generator.
6.Intheplacestofuelthegeneratorandtostorethefuel,no smoking,flameorsparkis
allowed, orafireoreven explosionmaybe caused.
7.Theexhaustgasofthegeneratorcontainscarbonmonoxide,sotakecarenotto
inhaleit. Neverusethegeneratorinanenclosedroomoraplacewithinadequate
ventilation.
8.Thegeneratorshall be used onastablegroundsurfaceonwhichthe generator’s
inclination doesn’texceed 20 degreesfromthe horizontalsurface.
9.Duringthe runningofthe generator,the mufflerwill be veryhotandwill remainhot
forawhileafterthe generatorisstooped.Nevertouchthe mufflerwhen itishot, or
scaldwill be caused.
10.Inordertoavoidelectricshock,neverusethegeneratorinahumidcondition.
11.Neverdirectlyconnectthe generatortoahomepowersupply.
IIIPreoperation check
1.Oil level oftheengine
Iftheengine runswithoutadequateengineoil init,severedamagewill be caused
toit.
Whencheckingtheoil leveloftheengine,itmustbe stoppedand putona

Operation steps:
(1)Put thegeneratoron ahorizontalground
surface.
(2)Takeout and wipe off theoil dipstick.
(3)Insertfullythe dipstick andthentakeitout
and check theoil level.
(4)Iftheoil levelisclosetoorislowerthanthe
lowerlimitmarkofthedipstick,then
screwofftheoil fillercap andadd
engine oil ofqualifiedgrade until the oil
levelreachesthehigherlimitmarkofthe
dipstick (seeFigure1).
(5)Screwback andtightentheoil dipstick andoil fillercap.
Note: engine oil isan importantfactorthat
influencesengine’soutputpowerand servicelife.
NeveruseNon-detergentengine oil,dieselengine oil
ortwo-strokeengine oil becausetheywill harmthe
engine.Regularchangeofengine oil will helpprolong
engine’sservicelife.Therecommendedengine oils
(see Figure2)areSE orSFgradefour-stroke
gasoline engine oilsunderAPI classification,or
shouldbe SAE10W-3that isequivalent toSGgrade.
2. Fuel
(1)Screwoffthe fueltankcapand check fuellevel.
(2)If fuellevelistoo low,add fueluntil itslevelreachestheshoulderofthefuel
strainerinthe fuelfillerhole(seeFigure3).
(3)Whenfuellingiscompleted,screwon and tighten the fueltankcap.
Fuelling mustbeperformedinaplacewith
good ventilation whentheenginehas
stopped. Remember:neversmoke or lightafire.
Neverspill thefuel out.
Avoidlong or frequentcontactwithfuelor
inhalation offuel vapor.
Neverletchildrencontactfuel.
Note: The gasoline grade shouldbe90# orhigher.Unleadedgasoline isrecommended
becauseitproducesless carbondeposit onthe engineandsparkplug,andcanprolong
servicelifeof theexhaust system.
Neveruseagedgasoline,contaminatedgasoline orgasolinemixed withengine oil.
Neverlet dustorwaterintothe fueltank.

IV.Starting/stopping thegenerator
Stepstostartthegenerator:
1. Cutoffall loads.
2.Turnthe fuelswitchtotheONposition.
3. Put the chokeleveron the OFF position.
Donotshutoff thechoke iftheengineisstartedwhenitiswarm.
4. Put the engine switchontheONposition.
5.Gentlypull up the startergripand pull itoutbrisklywhen
aresistanceisfelt (seeFigure4).
Don tletthestartergripspring back
abruptlyafterstarting;thestartergrip
shouldbeletbackgently.
6.When theenginehasbeenstarted,putthe chokelever
on the ONposition.
Stepstostop thegenerator:
1. Cutoffall loads.
2.Turnofffuelswitch.
3.Turnoff engine switch.
Ifanemergencystopoftheengineisneeded,theengineswitch
shouldbeputon theOFF position.
V. Useofthegenerator
1.Therequirementsof environmentforuseof the generator:
(1)Applicabletemperaturerange: -15℃～40℃
(2)Applicablehumiditylevel: under95%.
(3)Applicablealtitude:lowerthan3,300feet(1,000meters).Foruseatanaltitude
ofmorethan3,300feet (1,000 meters), powerdecreaseisneededforoperation.
2. Connectingtohomepowersupply
If thegeneratoristobe connectedtoahomepowersupplyasastandby,connection
shall be performedbyaprofessionalelectrician orbyanotherpersonwithproficient
electricalskill.
Whentheloadsareconnectedtothegenerator,pleasecarefully
check whetherelectricalconnectionsaresafeand reliable.Any
improperconnection maycause damagetothegenerator, orcause afire.

Beforeconnecting thegenerator tothehomepowercircuit,the
circuit sconnectionstoexternalpowersupplies(commercial
poweror otherpowersupplies)mustbecutoff first.
3. Earthingofthegenerator
Inordertopreventelectricshock duetoshoddyelectricalappliancesorwronguseof
electricity, the generatormust beearthedwithagood-qualityinsulated conductor.
4. Loads
Beforeconnectingthe loads,it mustbe confirmedthat
Thetotalof all loads’powervaluesdoesn’texceed thegenerator’sratedpower.
Overloaduse willshortenthegenerator sservice life.
If thegeneratorisconnectedtomultipleloadsorelectricityconsumers,please
remembertofirst connecttheonewiththehighest startingcurrent, then theonewiththe
secondhigheststarting current... and lastconnecttheonewiththe loweststarting
current.
5. Highaltitudeoperation
Inahighaltitudearea,the standardcarburetorair-fuelmixturewill be excessivelyrich,
outputpowerwill decreaseandfuelconsumption will increase.Highaltitude
performancecanbeimprovedbyinstallingasmallerdiametermainfueljetinthe
carburetorand readjustingthe pilotscrew.Ifyou alwaysoperatethe generatorat
altitudeshigherthan3,300feet(1,000meters),pleasehaveanauthorized generator
dealerperformcarburetorchange.
Even withsuitablecarburetorjetting,engine horsepowerwilldecreasebyapproximately
3.5%foreach1,000 feet(300meters)increaseinaltitude.Theeffectofaltitude on
horsepowerwill be greaterthan thisifno carburetorchangeismade.
Ifanenginesuitablefor high altitudeisusedataloweraltitude,the
excessivelyleanairfuelmixturewillreduce outputpowerandmay
over-heatand seriouslydamagetheengine.
VI. Maintenanceofthegenerator

2.Airfiltermaintenance
Adirtyair filterwill restrictair flowintothe carburetor.Topreventcarburetormalfunction,
maintaintheair filterregularly. Maintainitmorefrequentlywhen operatingthegenerator
inextremelydustyareas.
Using gasolineorinflammablesolventtocleanthefilterelement
cancauseafireor explosion. Useonlysoapywateror nonflammablesolvent.
Neverrun thegenerator withouttheairfilter, or rapidenginewear
will result.
(1)Unsnap theair filtercoverclips, removethe air filter
coverand check the filterelement toconfirmitiscomplete
and clean.
(2)Ifthe foamelement isdirty, clean it followingthe method
