SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely toxic gas that
can KILL in a matter of minutes. Breathing air containing carbon monoxide
produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy
feeling and finally coma. Moderate or severe brain damage can result from inhaling
air containing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete
combustion of fuels and occurs in exhaust fumes of fuel-burning heaters and all
internal combustion engines. Carbon Monoxide collects in spaces where there is no
constant air flow or ventilation. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak due to
exposure to CO while using gasoline engine, GET TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL TO OR FROM THE ENGINE
Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire and explosion can result in severe burns
and even death.
• Turn engine to the OFF position and let cool at least two minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in fuel tank.
• DO NOT fill or drain fuel tank inside enclosed structures. Accidental sparks
can result in fires or explosions leading to severe burns and even death.
Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with care. They will function better and more
safely when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the tool clean,
dry, and free of grime will add to its life and performance.
Do not use the tool for applications other than specified.
SAFETY RULES FOR GASOLINE ENGINES
Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion, such as exhaust
from the engine. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and tasteless and
can kill in a matter of minutes.
Gas particulate filters and respirators will not protect someone
from carbon monoxide poisoning. If symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning appear, take the affected person outdoors immediately
and away from all structures and equipment that could produce the
gas. Call for emergency medical treatment and make them aware of the sit-
uation.
Operate generator only outdoors. Do not allow exhaust gas fumes from
entering confined areas through windows, open doors, ventilation ducts and
other openings.
Do not start or run engine indoors or an enclosed area, such as a garage
(even if windows and doors are open). This also applies to the engine com-
partment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Install a battery powered Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector near all bedrooms to
alert occupants of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a
colorless, odorless, very poisonous gas.
The Emission Control System for engine is warranted for standards set forth by the
EPA/Environmental Protection Agency and CARB/California Air Resources Board.
DO NOT tamper with Evaporation and Exhaust Assembly in the generator.

Do not contact muffler area with engine running. Muffler gets
extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Exhaust gases can
ignite combustible items such as clothing or structures in close
proximity. Gases leaking from worn muffler can heat up and
damage fuel tank resulting in fire or explosion.
• DO NOT touch hot parts of engine or muffler.
• AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Keep a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5M) clearance on all sides of the engine including top.
Starter and other rotating parts of engine can entangle hair, hands,
clothing and accessories.
• NEVER operate with protective housing or covers removed.
• DO NOT use while wearing loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught up
in starter or other rotating parts. Tie up long hair or wear hair net or cap.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to
engine. Excessively low speeds produce heavy load on engine.
• DO NOT attempt to alter pre-set governed speed. Engine governor is factory
set to supply optimum output horse power (HP) when running at governed speed.
• DO NOT modify engine in any way.
TESTING SPARK PLUG FOR SPARK
• DO NOT check spark plug for spark by removing from head cylinder.
• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip with
non-conducting material such as electrical tape to prevent it from coming in
contact with spark plug, fuel tank or other parts of the engine where damage
can result from sparking.
• Replace a defective spark plug only with authorized parts.
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Leave ample space for expansion of fuel.
• DO NOT start engine in area of fuel spillage. Fire and explosion can occur.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other ignition
sources. DO NOT smoke while operating the engine.
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle that could result in fuel spilling
from fuel tank.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can
pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than it can be let
go of. Failure to be aware of this function can result in broken
bones, fractures, bruises and sprains can result.
• When starting the engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Failure to observe this warning can result in property
damage, severe burns and/or death.
• Ensure spark plug is in place before attempting to start engine.
• Ensure muffler is secured to engine before starting.
• Ensure fuel cap is on fuel tank and tightened securely.
• Ensure air cleaner is clean and properly attached to engine.
A dirty air cleaner element changes the air to fuel ratio and
promotes incomplete combustion of fuel increasing the output of
carbon monoxide. Always make sure air cleaner element is clean
before every operation of the engine.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug wire removed. The resulting spark
could ignite spilled fuel.

severe burns and even death.
Failure to use fuel as recommended in this manual will void the warranty.
WHEN ADDING FUEL TO GENERATOR, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline).
•DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
•DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
• Turn generator OFF and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing fuel
cap. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other ignition
sources.
•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke near open fuel tank or container.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap and slowly remove cap to allow any pressure to
escape.
• Install fuel cap and allow any spilled fuel to evaporate before starting engine.
DO NOT over tighten handles on generator frame. Handles
must be allowed to move up and down with ease but not too loose as to rattle
during operation of the generator.
PREPARING THE GENERATOR
Improper treatment of generator can damage internal
components and shorten the life of unit.
ADDING ENGINE OIL
1. Move the generator OUTSIDE and place on a flat and level surface.
2. Remove the engine oil dip stick and place funnel in the oil reservoir.
3. Pour the supplied engine oil (30 weight)) until oil level reaches
the threads inside the oil reservoir.
4. Hand tighten oil dip stick and wipe off any spilled oil.
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.
DO NOT attempt to start generator engine before proper servicing using
recommended engine oil. Failure to observe this precaution can result in
engine failure.
LOW OIL SENSOR AND LED DISPLAY
To prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in
the crankcase, this generator is equipped with low oil sensor. If the
oil is below the safe amount, the sensor will activate and will prevent
engine start-up or will stop the running engine.
If the engine oil level is below a safe level and you attempt
to start the engine, the LED display on the front panel of the generator will blink.
Add oil as described in previous section.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if
generator is sitting at an angle that forces oil to shift.

OPERATING THE GENERATOR
Failure to start and operate generator on a level surface can cause the unit
not to start or cause it to shut down unexpectedly during operation possibly
damaging appliances and other items connected to it.
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can pull your hand and arm toward
generator engine faster than it can be let go of. Failure to be aware of this
function can result in broken bones, fractures, bruises and sprains can result.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. For your protection, wear the protective safety glasses (Not provided).
2. Move the generator OUTSIDE in a fully VENTILATED area.
3. Place the generator on a FLAT and level surface and close to the working
surface. Keep a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 meters) CLEARANCE on all sides of the
engine including top. Face the engine exhaust outlet AWAY from dwellings.
4. Turn the Fuel Valve lever counterclock-
wise to “ON” position to allow the
fuel to flow to the engine.
5. Slide the Choke Lever to “START”
(left) position.
6. Turn the Engine ON/OFF switch to ON
position.
7. To start the engine, pull Starter cord

8. Slide the Choke Lever to “RUN”
(right) position.
SYSTEM GROUND
The National Electrical Code requires that
the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this
generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For this purpose, a GROUNDING TERMINAL is provided
on the generator front panel.
The Ground and Neutral pins in all AC outlets in this generator are BONDED (per-
manently connected) to the generator frame and its components.
See “CONNECTING TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM” section for important
grounding information.
CONNECTING TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Generator produces hazardous voltage. Failure to isolate
generator from power utility can result in serious injury or death to electric
utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. Do not connect the gener-
ator directly into your home's electrical system through a receptacle outlet.
Connections to a building’s electrical system for usage as standby power
must be provided by a qualified electrician. All connections must isolate
generator power from utility power or other alternative power sources and
must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use
approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.
The Neutral Bond Wire (located inside the alternator of the generator) must be
removed when connecting this generator to a building electrical system.
1. Make sure engine is turned off.
Perform the following:
2. Remove the Alternator rear cover by removing its two mounting hardware.
3. Remove mounting hardware and remove the Neutral/Ground Bonding jumper
wire (Green/Yellow wire terminated by two ring lugs) which connects the termi-
nal block to the and body (chassis) of the alternator. Reinstall hardware and
tighten firmly.
4. Replace the alternator cover and its mounting hardware and tighten.
5. Peel off and remove “NEUTRAL BONDED TO FRAME” label on the front panel.

120/240V AC, 30A, LOCKING
OUTLET:
Use this outlet to operate 120V or
240V AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 24A.
The outlet is protected by press-
to-reset circuit protectors. If
protectors pop due to appliance
overload, remove the loads and
wait for a minute for the protec-
tors to cool down and then press
to rest.
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with
this outlet. Connect a 4-wire cord
set rated for 250V AC loads at 30A
to the plug. Same 4-wire cord can
run a 120V load.
120V AC, 20A DUPLEX OUTLET:
Use this duplex outlet to operate 120V AC, 60
Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 20A each
outlet.
The outlet is protected by press-to-reset circuit
protectors. If protectors pop due to appliance
overload, remove the loads and wait for a
minute for the protectors to cool down and then press to rest.
Use only high quality, UL-rated, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with gen-
erator’s 120V AC duplex outlet. It is important to inspect all extension cords for
damaged plugs and cracked or cut insulation before every use.
Check ratings for extension cords to ensure they are large enough for use with 120V
AC with loads of 20A or greater applications for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require an extension cord with this rating. Check the
operator’s manual of each device before connecting to generator and follow manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
CONNECTING TO GENERATOR OUTLETS
In order to prevent damage and prolong the life of the generator and any attached appli-
ances or tools, it is very important to use caution when adding loads to the generator.
Use the following steps as a guide to protect the generator and provide safety for those
who use it.
• NEVER start or stop generator engine with electrical devices plugged in and/or
turned on. Damage to both electrical devices and generator can occur.
• Ensure generator is sitting on a level surface.
• When starting generator engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
Whenever excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel
mixture, a “flooding” condition can occur. Move choke lever to “RUN”
position and pull starter cord handle repeatedly until engine starts.
• Start engine and wait until engine runs at a stabilized speed before connecting
to electrical loads.
•DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt or corrosive vapors..
•DO NOT operate generator in rain.
•DO NOT allow unqualified persons to operate or maintain generator.
SHUT GENERATOR OFF IF:
• Electrical Output is lost.
• Various components spark, smoke, or emits flames.
• Generator vibrates excessively.
OUTLETS AND CIRCUIT PROTECTORS
Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc and burn
resulting in property damage, severe burns and even death.
Only use cords rated for the equipment it’s being used on.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual for use of
extension cords.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
Plugs NOT INCLUDED with generator.
Outlets may be marked with rating value greater than generator
capacity. Never attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or extension cord can supply. Do not overload genera-
tor because of risk of damage to equipment, fire or explosion.

GENERATOR CAPACITY AND APPLIANCE WATTAGE
Ensure generator can supply adequate rated (running) and surge (starting) wattage
for devices it will power at same time. Follow the steps below:
1. Select all devices that will be powered at the same time.
2. Total rated running watts of devices. This is amount of power the generator
must produce to keep devices running. See table below.
3. Estimate amount of surge (starting) wattage needed. Surge wattage is a short
burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools and appliances such
as an electric compressors, pumps, drills or refrigerators. Because not all
motors start at same time, total surge wattage can be estimated by adding only
the item(s) with highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts as
described below.
EXAMPLES OF RATED AND SURGE WATTAGE
TOOL OR APPLIANCE
Total Rated (Running) Watts = 2500
Highest Additional Surge Watts = 2400
Total Generator Output Required = 4900
1. With nothing connected to generator, start engine by following steps outlined in
this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on first load. This should be the largest load.
3. Allow generator output to stabilize. This will be when engine runs smoothly and
attached load functions normally.
4. Plug in and turn on next load.
5. Again, allow generator output to stabilize. This will be when engine runs
smoothly and attached load functions normally.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads to generator than it has capacity for. Take additional
care to consider surge loads in generator capacity. Exceeding generator load
limit can result in damage to unit and to appliances or tools connected to it.
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator
and/or any electrical devices connected to it.
Improper treatment of generator can damage internal components and
shorten the life of unit.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustible materials, structures or
damage to fuel tank resulting in fire. Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m)
clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.
•DO NOT exceed wattage/amperage capacity. See “Generator Capacity” section of
this manual.
• If connected devices overheat, turn them OFF and disconnect them from generator.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) anywhere dampened or highly
conductive areas, such as metal decking or steel work.
•DO NOT touch bare wires or outlets. Severe burns or even death can result.
•DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or
otherwise damaged.
•DO NOT handle generator or electrical cables while standing in water, while
barefoot or whenever hands and feet are wet.
•DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to generator.
•DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to generator.
• Always connect electrical loads to generator while the load is turned OFF. After
connecting loads to generator, turn the load ON.
• Always turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect them from generator before
stopping generator engine.

It is important that the maintenance chart below be followed.
*Recommended to be performed more often than in the schedule if operated in dusty, hot and
dusty environments.
** Recommended to be performed by authorized dealers
*** Adjust air gap to 0.6mm - 0.7mm
CLEANING GENERATOR
Daily or before use inspections should include areas around and underneath gener-
ator looking for signs of fuel or oil leaks. Preventative maintenance should be taken
if leaks are found. Clean accumulated debris from outside and inside generator.
Ensure all linkages, springs and other engine controls are kept clean. Inspect cool-
ing air slots and openings on generator. Openings must be kept clean and unob-
structed for peak performance of generator.
Do not attempt to stop engine by moving choke
lever to “CHOKE” position. Backfire, fire and engine damage can
occur. Failure to observe this warning can result in severe burns.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend life of generator. Call
Customer Service at 1-888-278-8092 for service information.

Unintentional sparking can cause fire or electrical shock.
Failure to observe this warning can cause severe
property damage, severe burns and even death.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip of spark plug wire
with insulating tape and place wire where it cannot come in contact with
spark plug or generator frame.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store gasoline from one season to another unless it’s been treated
with fuel stabilizer.
2. Replace fuel container, if metal, and it begins to rust. Rust and dirt and debris can con-
taminate fuel supply and components resulting in poor performance and/or internal
damage to engine. Fuel should be stored in newer approved plastic storage containers.
GENERATOR
1. Cover generator with a suitable cover that does not retain moisture such as a
plastic or plastic coated tarp.
2. Store generator in a clean, dry area.
Certain storage covers can be flammable or can
melt in higher temperatures. Do not place storage cover over
generator unit until it has completely cooled.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
1. Slowly pull the Starter cord a few times to clean oil from the cylinder which were
added prior to storage.
2. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the spark plug and return
it to the cylinder and retighten.
3. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
Engine components should be kept clean reducing risk of overheating and ignition
of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.
• Use a shop-vacuum to pick up any loose dirt and debris.
Do not use water or other liquids to clean generator.
Cleaning fluids can enter fuel system resulting in poor performance.
Additionally, if fluids enter generator through cooling air slots, portions of the
fluid can be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding
insulation. Over time, liquid and dirt buildup on internal windings will decrease
insulation resistance on windings decreasing performance of generator.
STORAGE
Long Term Storage Instructions (Fuel in tank)
Gasoline fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and
gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburetor parts. To keep fuel
fresh, add the provided fuel stabilizer tablets to the fuel tank (read instructions in
the back for directions).
Draining gasoline is unnecessary if the fuel stabilizer is used according to the
instructions that come with it. Run generator engine for a minimum of two minutes,
after stabilizer is added to fuel, to allow it to circulate throughout the engine. The
engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
Fuel and fuel vapor are extremely flam-
mable and explosive. Fire or explosion from misuse of fuel
can cause severe burns and even death.
TO PROTECT AGAINST RUST FORMATION DURING STORAGE, OIL THE
CYLINDER BORE:
• Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1/2 oz (15 ml) of clean engine oil
into the cylinder.
• Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to distribute oil. DO NOT start
engine at this time.
• Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 to 3 times to distribute and coat the cylinder bore
with oil.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS warranty) for equipment using small
spark-ignited engines:
1. Applicability: This warranty shall apply to equipment that uses small spark-ignit-
ed engines. The ECS Warranty period shall begin on the date the new equipment
is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall con-
tinue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
2. General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Alltrade warrants to the original, end-use
purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent pur-
chaser/owner that the ECS when installed was designed, built and equipped so
as to conform with all applicable regulations and was free from defects in mate-
rials and workmanship which could cause the failure of a warranted part at any
time during the ECS Warranty Period.
A. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required mainte-
nance in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If
any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or
replaced by Alltrade according to subsection (D) below. Any such part repaired
or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
B. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in
the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement
in the Owner's Manual to the effect of ”repair or replace as necessary” shall not
reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
C. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first sched-
uled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Alltrade according to
subsection (D) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced
under ECS warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to
the first scheduled replacement of that part.
D. Repair or replacement of any warranted emissions-related part under this ECS
Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at an Alltrade Authorized
Warranty Repair Service Center.
E. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (D) above, warranty services or
repairs must be provided at Alltrade Authorized Service Center.
F. When the engine is inspected by an Alltrade Authorized Service Center, the pur-
chaser/owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is
deemed warrantable.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT OWNER'S RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Alltrade Tools are
pleased to explain the Emission Control System warranty on your new 2008 or later
equipment. New equipment that uses small spark-ignited engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the stringent anti-smog standards established
by the federal government. Alltrade will warrant the emission control system of your
small spark-ignited engine for the period of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improper maintenance of your
equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel sys-
tem, ignition system, catalytic converter, and other associated emission-related
components (if equipped on your specific engine).
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS:
The emission control system for your small spark-ignited engine is warranted for
two years from the date of purchase or delivery. If, during this warranty period, any
emission-related part on your equipment is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship, an authorized Alltrade service provider will repair or replace the cov-
ered part at no additional cost.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the owner of this small spark-ignited engine, you are responsible for the com-
pletion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner's
Manual. Alltrade recommends that you retain all your receipts covering mainte-
nance on your engine, but Alltrade cannot deny warranty solely due to lack of
receipts.
As the owner of this small spark-ignited engine, you should be aware that Alltrade
may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your small spark-
ignited engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, unapproved modifications or use of unauthorized or coun-
terfeit parts.
You are responsible for presenting your small spark-ignited engine to an authorized
Alltrade Service Center as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty, rights or responsibilities, please
contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-888-278-8092.
