DANGER:
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be
properlygrounded.The nutandgroundterminalontheframe must
always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground
source. The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Con-
nectthe terminalof thegroundwirebetweenthe lockwasher and
the nut, and tighten the 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. If a steel or iron rod is
used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous
rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter and be listed as
material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8 ft. If
a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 ft. 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 grounded plugs.
2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to
ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.
This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability
have been given top priority in the design of this product, making it easy to maintain and operate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-
ing a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See
a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below could result in electrocution,
fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause
death or serious injury.
WARNING:
National Electric Code requires generator to be grounded
toan approved earth ground. Before using thegroundter-
minal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector,
or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or or-
dinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
the generator. There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and
safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add
loads as follows:
1. Withnothingconnectedtothegenerator,starttheengine
as described later in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity
as previously described.
NOTICE:
Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the
generator’s wattage/amperage capacity may damage
the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the
dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding
a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel
and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the
fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions
for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank
by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and
shaking gently to combine.
NOTE:Tocontroltheamountoffuelstabilizerbeingadded
to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline
before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer
directly into the generator’s fuel tank.
Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
OXYGENATED FUELS
NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of
federal law and will damage the unit and void your
warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting
from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than
thepercentageof oxygenatesstatedbelow are not covered
under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85
