CONTROL
1. GENERATOR SWITCH
2. RECOIL STARTER
To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance
is felt, then pull briskly.
Do not allow the starter to snap back against the engine.
Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
3. FUEL VALVE
The fuel valve controls fuel flowing from the fuel tank
to carburetor. Be sure to return the lever to “OFF”
after stopping the engine.
4. CHOKE LEVER
The choke lever is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine.
Slowly put the choke lever to “OPEN” position after the engine is heated.
5. AC CIRCUIT BREAKER / OVERCURRENT PROTECTIOR
The overload current will automatically switch off circuit breaker to avoid short circuit of the
load or overload. If the indicator of AC Overcurrent Protector is raised, the Over-current
Protector is now in the “OFF” position. Press the button of AC Over-current Protector to
the “ON” position again a few minute later. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF
automatically, switch the circuit breaker ON again.
6. OIL ALERT SYSTEM (Except PMV1200)
The oil alert system is specially designed to prevent engine damage caused by an
insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. When the oil level in the crankcase falls down
below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (though the
generator switch still remain in the ON position), so that the engine can’t be damaged
resulting from the insufficient amount of the oil.

GENERATOR OPERATION
Generator operation environment:·
Temperature:-15Ԩ㹼40Ԩ·
Humidity: 95% lower.·
Height above sea level: 1000 m lower (If the area is 1000 m over, the power should be
lowered in operation).
1. CONNECTION TO THE HOUSEHOLD POWER SUPPLY
When connecting the generator to the household power supply, connection must be
made by a qualified electrician. After connecting, carefully check electric
connections for their safety and reliability.
Unsafe connections will result in generator damage and risk of fire.
2. AC CURRENT
Before starting the generator, make sure that total
load appliance power (Total resistance, capacitive
and inductive) does not exceed rated power of the
generator
Overload operation will greatly shorten
generator service life.
If the generator set is connected to multi- loads or
electric appliances, please first connect to current
maximum, in turn, current second, and final,
current minimum.

9
In general, capacitive and inductive load, especially, motor-driven devices have a big
starting current when starting.
3. HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Output
power will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Engine performance can be
improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the
pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at altitudes above sea level 1000 meters,
have our company authorized dealer perform this carburetor modification. If not, lower load
power in operating generator.
Even equipped with suitable carburetor, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be
lowered greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
If a carburetor for high altitude is equipped with engine suitable to a lower altitude,
the lean air fuel mixture will cause the engine output power lowering, over-heat and
seriously damage.
PRE-OPERATION CHEK
1. ENGINE OIL
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-
detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not
recommended. Check the oil level before each use with the generator on a level
surface with the engine stopped.
Recommended oil
4-stroke gasoline oil
API service Classification's SF
or SAE10W-30 of equivalent SG class.
Method of check oil level:
Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
If the level is low, add the recommended oil to the upper mark on the dipstick.
After adding, don’t forget to reinsert and screw down the oil dipstick.

10
2. FUEL
1. Check the fuel level gauge,
2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.
3. Reinstall and screw down the fuel tank cap after refuelling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow
flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refuelled or where gasoline is
stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Don’t use the oil and gasoline mixture or gasoline contained impurity.
Use gasoline with octane rating ≥90 .
We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.
3. BATTERY (PMV7000)
Don’t connect the battery positive and negative poles in reverse. Reversed
connection can seriously damage the generator set and battery.
• If operated improperly, the battery may be explosive and potentially hurt others
nearby. Keep the fire and inflammable materials far away from battery.
• The battery will release the explosive gas, please keep the fire far away from
battery. Keep the air ventilating when battery is charging and using.
