Engine oil is a major factor affecting
engine performance and service life.
Detergent oils and vegetable oils are
not recommended.
Use premium quality 4-stroke motor oil.
Do not add commercial additives to the
recommended oil and do not mix
gasoline with the oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general, all-temperature use.
3. Only after the generator has stabilized and is
running smoothly should an appliance or tool
be plugged into the AC outlet of the generator.

GROUNDING

1. Use the ground terminal
on the generator to connect
the unit to a suitable ground
source. Securely fasten the
end terminal of the ground
wire to the ground terminal
on the generator.
2. A 10-gauge copper wire should be used to
connect the ground terminal of the generator to the
grounding rod. A wire that is too thin may not
provide sufficient electrical current carrying capacity
to be an adequate ground path.
3. The other end of the ground wire must be
securely fastened to an approved ground source.
Refer to the local regulations for ground source
information. If not sure of regulations or procedures,
obtain assistance from a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrical technician.

DC APPLICATION

1. The DC output is designed for charging a 12-volt
battery only.
2. The "+" (positive) terminal
or the battery
connected to the DC "+"
terminal on the generator,
and the "-"(negative) terminal
of the battery
connected to
"-" terminal on the generator.

STARTING

1. Remove all electrical loads from the generator.
2. Set the fuel switch to the open (ON) position.
3. Turn the engine switch in "ON" position.

run for 2-3 minutes to stabilize before applying a
load.
NEVER attempt to modify or adjust either the
engine speed or the output voltage of your
generator when it works normally.
