Serial number and identification location The engine serial number identifies your particular unit and is important when ordering parts and accessories. Engine serial number:158FYYMMDD0001 The serial number can be found engraved on the crankcase beside the oil filter cap. It is visible when the left maintenance cover is removed.
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK ■ Be sure to check the oil level before each use with the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1. Check the engine oil level. ■ Using non detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life.
Page 11
NOTE: The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level regularly. 2.

■Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite, if any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. ■Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor, KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
5. STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting the engine, disconnect any loads from the AC and DC terminals. 1. Turn the fuel cap vent lever fully clockwise to the “I” position. 2. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. 3. Move the choke lever to the START position.
Page 14
■ To restart a warm engine, leave the choke in the RUN position. Do not move the choke to the START position when the engine is warm or the air temperature is high. 4. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. ■...

High altitude operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
6. GENERATOR USE ■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source. ■Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Page 17
■The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC. ■Most appliance motors require more than their rated watt-age for start-up.

Output and Overload Indicators The output indicator light (green) will remain ON during normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2.0kVA), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go OFF, the overload indicator light (red) will go ON and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
Page 19
1. Connect the ground terminal. 2. Start each engine according to "STARTING THE ENGINE". When the output indicator light (green) does not light and the overload indicator light (red) lights instead, set the engine switch to STOP, stop the engine at once and then start the engine again. 3.
Page 20
4. Switch on the equipment to be used. In case of overload operation or when trouble occurs for the equipment being used, the output indicator light (green) will go out, the overload indicator light (red) will light continuously, and no power will be put out.

■The battery gives off explosive gases; Keep sparks flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging. ■The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield. -If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water. -If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at Least 15 minutes and call a physician.
Page 23
Intelligent Throttle System With the switch in the ON position, Engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the proper speed to match the power of the electrical load when the load is reconnected. This position is recommended to minimize fuel consumption while in operation.
7. STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure. 1. Switch off the connected equipment and pull the inserted plug. 2. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position. The fuel valve will automatically close.
