Page 9: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly grounded. All Jet generators have internally bonded ground wires. - Page 10 safety This product has been designed with internal grounding or floating 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. DANGER Improper grounding can result in a risk of electrocution.
- Page 11 safety Important Safety Instructions 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. • Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may become overheated if it is enclosed.

preparing the generator Grounding Instructions DANGER Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the unit is properly grounded for your local regulations. The ground terminal on the frame can be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. -
Page 17: Pre-Operation Checklist
operation checklist Engine Oil Before checking or refilling 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, refill with suitable oil to upper level line. -
Page 18: General Recommendations
operation checklist WARNING DO NOT overfill the tank, leave room for the fuel to expand. 1. If fuel level is low, refill with unleaded automotive gasoline. 2. Check fuel gauge while filling. 3. When using the generator for the first time or stopping due to the fuel running out, pull the recoil handle several times after filling the tank. -

operation checklist Check Generator Surroundings When listening to the radio near the generator, the radio sound may be disturbed on account of the radio wave condition and the radio performance. WARNING Keep area clear of flammables or other hazardous materials. •... - Page 20 starting your generator 3. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until passing the compression point (resistance will be felt), then return the handle to its original position and pull briskly. Pull Briskly 4. After starting, allow the recoil starter handle to return to its original position with the handle still in your hand.

Page 23: Dc Application
operation DC Application The DC terminal is used for trickle charging 12 volt batteries or low amperage drawing DC tools or appliances.. It provides 12V - 8.3A (100W) of maximum power. Connection of Cable Connect positive terminal (red) on generator to positive (+) terminal on battery. -
Page 24: Wattage Information
operation Wattage Information Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. -
Page 25: Spark Arrester
operation Spark Arrester The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as designed. A clogged spark arrester: • Prevents the flow of exhaust gas • Reduces engine output • Increases fuel consumption • Makes starting difficult CAUTION If engine has been running, the muffler and the spark arrester will be very hot. -
Page 26: Stopping The Generator
stopping the generator Stopping The Generator 1. Turn off the power switch of the electric equipment and unplug the cord from receptacle of the generator. 2. Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down without load before stopping. 3. Push the engine switch to the OFF position. 4. -
