SAFETY GUIDELINES -
DEFINITIONS
This manual contains information
that is important for you to know
and understand. This information
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY
and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT
PROBLEMS. To help you recognize
this information, we use the symbols
below. Please read the manual and pay
attention to these symbols.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide.
Using an engine indoors can kill you
in minutes. Engine exhaust contains
high levels of carbon monoxide (CO),
a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. You may be breathing CO even
if you do not smell engine exhaust.
• NEVER use an engine inside
homes, garages, crawlspaces
or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide
can build up in these areas. Using
a fan or opening windows and doors
does NOT supply enough fresh air.
• ONLY use outdoors and far away
from open windows, doors and
vents. These openings can pull in
engine exhaust.
• Even when the engine is used
correctly, CO may leak into your
home. ALWAYS use a battery-
powered or battery backup CO
alarm in the home. Read and
follow all directions for CO alarm
before using.If you start to feel sick,
dizzy or weak at anytime, move to
fresh air immediately. See a doctor.
You could have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit
until you read this instruction manual
for safety, operation and maintenance
instructions.

ASSEMBLY
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
A grounding nut (X, Fig. 3) is supplied
with the generator for use when required
by local electrical ordinances. Your
local electric company or a certified
electrician should be able to help you
with this information.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: Use only grounded
extension cords. Use only three wire or
double-insulated power tools.
Only use grounded extension cords
that are rated for outdoor use and
equipment with a third-wire ground. It
used when connecting to any of the
generator’s receptacles.
When a long extension cord is used
to connect an appliance or tool to the
generator, a voltage drop occurs. The
longer the cord, the greater the voltage
drop. This results in less voltage being
supplied to the appliance or tool and
increases the amount of current (amp)
draw or reduces performance. A heavier
cord with a larger wire size will reduce
the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a
cord that will supply enough voltage
to operate your tool or appliance. The
tables indicate appropriate gauge for
extension cords and the voltage drop
caused by the use of extension cords,
given different electrical loads.
CAUTION: Operating equipment at
low voltage can cause it to overheat.
Using an excessively long extension cord
can cause the cord to overheat.
WARNING:
good condition. Do not use worn, bare
or frayed cords because they can cause
electrical shock.

ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY
Accessories available for generators
include content shown in Fig 4.
NOTE: Two people are needed for these
installations. Install the wheel kit before
adding gasoline or engine oil to prevent
damage to the engine. If accessories
are being installed after running the
generator, make sure the gas tank is
empty, the fuel shut-off valve is turned
to the OFF position (horizontal to the
ground) and the oil is drained from the
engine
NOTE: After approximately 20 hours of
operation, accessory bolts may loosen.
Tighten them as needed.

2. Remove dipstick (L).
3. Slowly add recommended oil,
see specifications for oil capacity.
NOTE: If the oil is added too
quickly, it will overflow and appear
to be full.
See To Check Oil under Maintenance
for instructions.
Add fuel to generator (FIG. 1, 5)
WARNING: Risk of explosion or
fire. Gasoline vapor is highly flammable.
Refuel outdoors preferably or only in
well-ventilated areas. Do not refuel or
check gasoline level while the engine
is running. Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame, a source
of sparks (such as welding), or near
operating electrical equipment. Do not
smoke when filling fuel tank.
1. Remove fuel cap (D).
2. Add fresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of 86
octane to the fuel tank (E). NOTE:
Do not mix oil with gasoline.
WARNING:Never fill fuel tank
completely. Do not

engine and equipment before starting

3. Replace the fuel cap on the tank.
Turn the cap clockwise until it
stops.
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional gasolines are
blended with alcohol or an ether
compound. These gasolines are
collectively referred to as oxygenated
fuels. To meet clean air standards, some
areasuseoxygenatedfuelstohelpreduce
emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it
is unleaded and meets the 86 minimum
octane rating requirements. Before
using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm
the fuel’s contents. Some areas require
this information to be posted on the
pump.
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%
by volume. You may use gasoline
containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name gasohol.
