Petroleum Institute(API) Service Class SJ,SL or
better. Use no special additives. Select the oil's
viscosity grade according to the expected operating
temperature(also see chart).
Above4°C(40°F),use SAE 30
Between4 to-12℃(40 to 10°F),use 10w-30
Below-12°C(10°F),use synthetic 5W-30
4.2 ADDING FUEL
to 15%MTBE(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol), ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system. So the fuel
should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. See the"Storage"section. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
4.3 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The national Electrical Code requires that the frame
and external electrically conductive part of this
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the unit. For that purpose, connecting a
No.10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper
wire to the grounding lug and to an earth-driven
Never fill tank indoors.Never fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot.
Turn generator engine OFF and
allow engine to cool entirely before filling fuel
tank. Avoid spilling gasoline on HOT engine. Keep
fuel away from sparks,open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and Other ignition sources. DO NOT light a
cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank. Fuel
is highly FEAMMABLE and its vapours are
EXPLOSIVE.
· Fuel must meet these requirements:
Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
A minimum of 87octane/87AKI (91 RON).
Never use E85 fuel.
· Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up
to 15%MTBE(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is
acceptable.
· Do not mix oil with gasoline
· Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Allow space for fuel expansion.
IF the fuel tank is overfiled, fuel
can overflow onto a HOT engine and cause FIRE
or EXPLOSION.If fuel spills,wait until it evaporates
before starting engine. Check fuel lines, tank,cap
and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace

or decal affixed to be the device.
If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to
determine watts (volts× amps= watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power
lasts only a few seconds when starting such
motors. Make sure to allow for high starting
wattage when selecting electrical devices to
connect to the generator:
· Figure the watts needed to start the largest
motor
· Add to that figure the running watts of all other
connected loads.
The wattage reference guide is provided to assist
in determining how many items the generator can
operate at one time.

(0.028-0.031 in). Install the correctly gapped spark
plug into the cylinder head and torque to 15 ft/lbs.
6.2.6 SPARK ARRESTER
· Shut off generator and allow the engine and muffler
to cool down completely before servicing spark
arrester (located on the back of the muffler).
· Remove the clamp and spark arrestor screen.
· C lean the spark arester screen with a small wire
brush.
· Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged.
· Installation of the spark arrester screen is the
reverse of the removal.
6.3 SERVICE AIR FILTER
The engine will not run properly and may be
damaged if using a dirty air filter. Replace the air
filter once a year. Clean or replace more often if
operating under dusty conditions.
· Remove air filter cover.
· Wash in soapy water. Squeeze filter dry in clean
cloth (DO NOT TWIST).
· May drop a bit of engine-oil to avoid ice blocked
during winter season.
· Clean air filter cover before re-installing it.

NEVER cover the generator
while engine and exhaust area are warm.
Drain fuel into approved
container outdoors,away from open flame. Be
sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
Avoid spray from spark plug
holes when cranking engine.
NEVER store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
areas where fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance
6.4 VALVE CLEARANCE
After the first 50 hours of operation, check the valve
clearance in the engine and adjust if necessary.
Important: If feeling uncomfortable about doing this
procedure or the proper tools are not available,
please take the generator to the nearest service
centre to have the valve clearance adjusted. This is a
very important step to ensure longest life for the
engine.
SECTION 7- STORAGE
7.1 GENERAL
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and be allowed to run at least 30 minutes.
If this cannot be done and the unit must be stored
for more than 30 days, use the following information
as a guide to prepare it for storage.
7.2 LONG TERM SHORTAGE INSTRUCTIONS
It is important to avoid gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems,the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer,as
follows:
· Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.
· Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of
fuel.
· While engine is till warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade.
· Remove spark plugs and pour about 15ml (1/2 oz)
of engine oil into the cylinders. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Pull the recoil starter a couple times to
lubricate the piston rings and cylinder bore.
7.3 OTHER STORAGE TIPS
· Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
· Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems with
the carburetor and fuel system.
· If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO
EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
· If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the
unit is to be stored for some time, use a
commercially available fuel stabilizer added to the
gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
· Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.
· Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect
spark plug wires.
· Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that
cooling air slots and openings on generator are open
and unobstructed.
· Store the unit in clean, dry place.
