6 Operator’s Manual
CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS
Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous
gas that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas.
Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces.
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very
quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you
cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell
exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide
from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention
immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
someone call the re department to determine when it is safe to
re-enter the building.
NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufcient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury
or death.
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed
areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using
fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.
Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the
unit outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents that could
allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
ONLY run generator outdoors and away from air intakes.
NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other
semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases
EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator,
shut if off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon
monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to
the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The carbon monoxide
alarms should be certied to the requirements of the latest safety
standards for carbon monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or
CSA 6.19.01).
Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead
batteries.

Operator’s Manual 7
SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING
Gasoline is extremely ammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a
funnel.
Do not overll the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Do not rell fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.
Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open ame away. Carefully clean up any spilled
fuel before starting engine.
Always ll fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other ammable liquids should be stored outside of living
areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store
them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater
in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly,
invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be
ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in
the appliance.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
PROTECTION
These generators are equipped with two GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards
of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords,
and cables.
WARNING: The GFCIs may not function unless the generator
is properly grounded. Follow the correct procedure
specified in the section labeled “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS”
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or
generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker if a fault current
ow to the ground occurs.
WARNING: Only the 120V Duplex Receptacles are protected
by the GFCI.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire
internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the
earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral
wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly
grounded. All Mi-T-M generators have internally bonded ground wires.
A GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
AGFCI may be required by OSHA regulations, the National Electric Code
and/or local and federal codes when operating a generator.
For additional protections against shock hazards due to defective
equipment attached to the twist-lock receptacles, consider the use of a
GFCI on each of these receptacles as well.
GFCIs and GFCI protected cord sets and cables may be purchased
from local electrical supply houses.

8 Operator’s Manual
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for your
protection. Always complete the ground path from the generator to an
external ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding
Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To
protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the
generator.
Risk of electric shock if you operate this generator with a faulty GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Test GFCI before each use, see
Operations Instructions for further information. If GFCI fails test, DO
NOT use your generator. Contact your Mi-T-M Customer Service
Representative.
Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least
equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the
entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs,
especially a grounding pin.
NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into
a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is an extremely
dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers
and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses
some of the built-in household circuit protection devices.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualied electrician install the appropriate equipment
in accordance with local electrical codes. Or, check with your utility
company to see if it can install an appropriate power transfer switch.
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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE
EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS
TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
The wing nut and ground terminal on the frame must always
be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source.
The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the
terminal of the ground wire between the two star washers and
wing nut then tighten the wing nut fully. Connect the other end
of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in
which to establish a good ground source. Examples given below
illustrate a few of the ways in which a good ground source may
be established.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If an pipe
is unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the
ground source. The pipe should be 3/4 inch trade size or larger
and the outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod
is used it should be at least 5/8 inch diameter and if a nonferrous
rod is used it should be at least 1/2 inch diameter and be listed
as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8
feet. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 feet down, bury
the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and appliances
operated from this generator, must be properly grounded by use
of a third wire or be “Double Insulated”.
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3
prong plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of
the ground protection from the generator to appliance.
We strongly recommend that all applicable federal, state and
local regulations relating to grounding specications be checked
and followed.
Preparing the Generator
LINE TRANSFER SWITCH
If this generator is used for standby service, it must have
a transfer switch between the utility power service and the
generator. The transfer switch not only prevents the utility
power form feeding into the generator, but is also prevents the
generator form feeding out into the utility company’s lines. This
is intended to protect the serviceman who may be working on
a damaged line.
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN AND ALL LOCAL CODES MUST BE
FOLLOWED.

FUELING
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE FUEL!
GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
AND ITS VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF
IGNITED.
STORE GASOLINE ONLY IN APPROVED
CONTAINERS, IN WELL VENTILATED,
UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND AWAY
FROM SPARKS OR FLAMES.
DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE
ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING, SINCE
SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE IF IT
COMES IN CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS OR
SPARKS FROM IGNITION. DO NOT START
THE ENGINE NEAR SPILLED FUEL.
NEVER USE GASOLINE AS A CLEANING
AGENT.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK,
LEAVE ROOM FOR THE FUEL TO EXPAND.
General Recommendations
• Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean,
approved containers.
• To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to
insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from
the previous season.
• Do not add oil to the gasoline.
Fuel Type
• For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less
combustion chamber deposits.
GASOLINE/ALCOHOL BLENDS:
Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline
by volume) is approved, as a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol
blends are not approved.
GASOLINE/ETHER BLENDS:

BATTERY INSTALLATION
WARNING: SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY AN
AUTHORIZED DEALER.
HIGH ALTITUDE
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will
be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption
will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug
and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs
from that at which this engine was certied, for extended
periods of time, may increase emissions.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific
modications to the carburetor. If you always operate your
generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters),
have your dealer perform this carburetor modication. This
engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor
modications for high altitude use, will meet each emission
standard throughout its useful life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower
will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter)
increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will
