HAZARD SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS

6
safety
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
• Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any
structure or building during use.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION

7
safety
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• 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 arcing from electric switches in the
appliance.

safety
DANGER
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualied electrician for
your local requirements if you are in doubt as to
whether the unit is properly grounded.
• This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an
external ground source as instructed in the section labeled
“Grounding Instructions” (Page 16). Please consult a qualied
electrician for local regulations.
• 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.
• 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.
This product has been designed with internal grounding or oating
bonded neutral. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.

9
safety
• Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may
become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered
to protect if from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it
and keep it well away from the area during generator use.
• Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to
prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the
generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level
place. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel
may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous
situation.
• Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated
on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may
occur even if the oil is above the upper level.
• Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator
to the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in
contact with vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a re,
generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
• Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet
hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the
generator is wet due to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well
before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor
wash it with water.
• Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding
procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do
so can be fatal.
• DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits
ammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric
arcing or open ame. Keep the area well ventilated and keep open
ames / sparks away when charging a battery.
• The engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after
operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator
area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine
especially the mufer area or serious burns may result.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s
manual completely before using.
When using this product, the following basic
precautions should always be followed.

10
safety
• Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work area.
• It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of
the power tool or appliance that you intend to use. All operators
must read, understand and follow the tool / appliance owners
manual. Tool and appliance applications and limitations must be
understood. Follow all directions given on labels and warnings.
Keep all instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future
reference.
• Use only “LISTED” extension cords. When a tool or appliance is
used outdoors, use only extension cords marked “For Outdoor
Use”. Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry
and well ventilated area.
• Always switch off generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect
tools or appliances when not in use, before servicing, adjusting, or
installing accessories and attachments.
• Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance,
servicing or repair.
NOTE: Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator are
performed by properly trained personnel only.

OIL WARNING LIGHT (RED)
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the
oil warning light (1) comes on and the engine
stops automatically. Unless you rell with oil, the
engine will not start again.
TIP: If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the
engine switch to “ON” and then pull the recoil
starter. If the oil warning light ickers for a few
seconds, the engine oil is insufcient. Add oil and
restart.
AC BREAKER (EXACT LAYOUT MAY VARY BETWEEN MODELS)
The AC breakers (2) pop out to “OFF” automatically when the electric
device being connected to the generator is operating at a current
above the rated ows. To use the generator again, unplug all
equipment, then turn on AC protector by pressing its button to “ON”
If multiple breakers trip simultaneously, due to an overload on
multiple sockets at once, the main AC Breaker (3) will trip. You must
unplug any equipment and re-engage the main breaker by ipping the
switches back up to ON in order to use the generator again.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The ground terminal on the frame can be used to connect the
generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be
made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding wire securely to the
ground terminal. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a
suitable ground source.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If a pipe is
unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the ground
source. The pipe should be 3/4” diameter or larger and the outer
surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used it should
be at least 5/8” diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used it should be at
least 1/2” diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the
rod or pipe to a depth of 8’. 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 regulations relating to
grounding specications be checked and followed.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the unit is properly grounded for your local regulations.

ENGINE OIL
Before checking or relling oil, be sure generator is located on stable
and level surface with engine stopped.
This generator uses SAE 10W30 oil.
1. Remove oil dipstick and check the engine oil level.
2. If oil level is below the lower level line, rell with suitable oil to upper
level line. Do not screw in the oil dipstick when checking oil level.
3. Change oil if contaminated.
FUELING
WARNING
Explosive Fuel! Gasoline is extremely ammable and
its vapors can explode if ignited.
• DO NOT refuel while smoking or near open ame or other such
potential re hazards.
• Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated,
unoccupied buildings and away from sparks or ames.
• DO NOT ll the 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
Always check the level of the engine oil prior to
starting the generator.
Failure to do so could cause the engine to seize if the oil is low or
empty.

1. If fuel level is low, rell with unleaded automotive gasoline.
2. Check fuel gauge while lling.
3. When using the generator for the rst time or stopping due to the
fuel running out, pull the recoil handle several times after lling the
tank.
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.
• Consider adding fuel stabilizer before running or starting the
generator.
FUEL TYPE
• For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher.
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
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up
to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved as a fuel. Other
gasoline/ether blends are not approved.
Check Component Parts
Check following items before starting engine:
1. Fuel leakage from fuel hose, etc.
2. Bolts and nuts for looseness.
3. Components for damage or breakage.
4. Generator not resting on or against any adjacent wiring.
