PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THE MATCHINE.
────────────────────────────────────────
1.SAFETY INFORMATION
1)EXHAUST FUMES ARE POISONOUS
Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause unconsciousness and death within a short time. Operate
the engine in a well ventilated area.
2)FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
Always turn off the engine when refueling
Never refuel whilesmoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muffler when refueling.
If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow any to get in your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any fuel
spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothes.
When operating or transporting the machine, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or
fuel tank.
3)ENGINE AND MUFFLER MAY BE HOT
Place the machine in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch the machine.
Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet during operation.
Keep the machine at least 1 m ( 3 ft ) from buildings or other equipment, or the engine may overheat.
Avoid operating theengine with a dust cover.
Be sure to carry the generator only by its carrying handle.
Put the machine on the flat ground, for the machine eliminating heat
freely.
4)ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION
Never operate the engine in rain or snow.
Never touch the machine with wet hands or electrical shock will occur.
Be sure to ground (earth) the generator.
NOTE: ───────────────
Use ground (earth) lead of sufficient current capacity.

1)OIL WARNING SYSTEM
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the engine stops automatically.
Unless you refill with oil, the engine will not start again.
2)ENGINE SWITCH
The engine switch controls the ignition system.
①ON (run)
Ignition circuit is switched on. The engine can be started.
②OFF (stop)
Ignition circuit is switched off. The engine will not run.
3)ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH
When the economy control switch is turned “ON”, the economy control unit
control the engine speed according to the connected load. The results are
better fuel connection and less noise.
4)DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
The DC circuit protector turns off automatically when the load exceeds the
generator rated output.
CAUTION: ──────────────────────
Reduce the load to within specified generator rated output if the DC circuit
protector turn off.
───────────────────────────
5)FUEL TANK CAP AIRVENTKNOB
The fuel tank cap is provided with an air vent knob to stop fuel flow. The air
vent knob must be turned once clockwise from the closed position. This will
allow fuel to flow to the carburetor and the engine to run.
When the engine is not in use, tighten the air vent knob counterclockwise until it
is finger-tight to stop fuel flow.
6)FUEL COCK
The fuel cock is used to supply fuel from the tank to thecarburetor.

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
NOTE: ────────────────────────
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the generator is used.
───────────────────────────
1)CHECK ENGINE FUEL
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
If fuel islow, refill with unleaded automotive gasoline.
Be sure to use the fuel filter screen on the fuel filter neck.
Recommended fuel: Unleaded gasoline.
Fuel tank capacity: (see page 14-15)
WARNING: ──────────────────────
Do not refill tank while engine is running or hot.
Close fuel cock before refueling with fuel.
Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into fuel.
Do not fill above the top of the fuel filter or it may overflow when the fuel
heats up later and expands.
Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
Keep openflames away.
──────────────────────────
2)CHECK ENGINE OIL
Make sure the engine oil is at the upper level of the oil filler hole. Add oil as
necessary.
Remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level.
If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with suitable oil to upper level
line. Do not screw in the oil filler cap when checkingoil level.
Change oil if contaminated.
Oil capacity: (see page 14-15)

4. OPERATION
NOTE: ────────────────────────
The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Fill with oil or it will
not start.
Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in
overfilling and damage to the engine
───────────────────────────
1)STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE: ─────────────────────
Before starting the engine, do not connect the electric apparatus.
─────────────────────────
1. Open the fuel tank air vent to the OPENposition.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to the ON position.
3. Turn the engine switch to the ON position
4. When first time to use the generator sets, pressing the primer bulb 6 times
after refuel gasoline
5. Turn the choke lever to the ││CHOKE position. Not necessary if
the engine is warm.
6. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This is the
Compression point. Return the handle to its original position and pull
swiftly. Do not fully pull out the rope. After starting, allow the starter handle
to return to its original position while still holding the handle. Grasp the
carrying handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling over when
pulling the recoil starter.
7. Warm up the engine.
8. Turn the choke leverback to the ││RUN position.
9. Warm up the engine without a loadfor a few minutes.
2)USING ELECTRIC POWER
1. AC APPLICATION
(a) Check the AC pilot lamp for proper voltage.
(b) Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to
the generator.

(c) Insert the pulg(s) of the electrical appliance(s)into the receptacle.
CAUTION: ─────────────────────
Be sure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in.
Be sure the total load is within generator rated output.
Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.
The economy control switch must be turned to OFF when using electric
devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor or a
submergible pump.
──────────────────────────
2.OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected
electrical device is detected, the inverter unit overheats, or the AC output
voltage rises. The electronic breaker will then activate, stopping power to the
generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices.
The output pilot light (green) will flicker and the overload indicator light (red) will
turn on, then the engine will stop running.If so please follow the following steps:
(a) Turn off any connectedelectric devices and stop the engine
(b) Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
application range.
(c) Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If
any blockages are found, remove.
(d) Afterchecking, restart the engine.
CAUTION: ─────────────────────────────────────
The generator AC output automatically resets when the engine is stopped and then restarted.
The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large
starting current, such as a compressor or a submergiblepump. However, this is not a malfunction.

3. DC APPLICATION (option)
This usage is applicable to 12V battery charging only.
(a) Charging instruction for battery
Disconnect the leads for the battery.
Make the battery fluid filler cap loose fully.
Fill distilled water to the upper limit, if the battery fluid is low level.
Measure the specific gravity for the battery fluid by using the hydrometer,
and calculate the charging time in according with the table shown on right
side.
The specific gravity for the fully charged battery shall be within 1.26 to
1.28. It is recommended to confirm every hour.
(b) Connect between the DC output socket and the battery terminals using
the charging leads. The leads shall be connected making sure of the (+)
and (-) polarity.
(c) The DC circuit protectoris to be set to ON after confirming theconnection,
if the protector is in OFF position.
CAUTION: ──────────────────────
Be sure the economy control switch is turned OFF while charging the
battery.
───────────────────────────
3)STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off the power switch of the electric apparatus or disconnect any
electric devices.
2. Turn the engine switch to STOP position.
3. Turn the fuel cock lever to OFF.
4. Turn the fuel tank cap air vent knob counterclockwise to the CLOSED
position.
