1. SAFETY INFORMATION Playing it safe when working with power equipment is always a good idea. Here are some important precautions to make sure you stay safe. 1.1) Safety while Operating Your Generator Always perform an oil, fuel and air filter check before starting the engine. •...
• Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after the engine has been shut down 1.2) Understanding AC Safety Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord: • Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
• Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine oil. • Always stop the generator set before removing the oil filler cap. • Only qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of fuels, electricity, and machinery hazards should perform maintenance procedures. •...

Economy Control Switch (EcoMode) Turning EcoMode to ON is recommended for minimizing fuel consumption. In this mode the engine will dynamically meet the demand of the current electrical load and will automatically go into an idle state if all electrical loads are disconnected. Before connecting or removing a high load device to the generator, turn EcoMode to OFF until that device has reached running power.
Output and Overload Indicator In normal operation, the output indicator light (green) will remain on. If the generator is overloaded (producing more than 2800W) or a connected appliance has short-circuited, the output indicator light will turn off and the overload indicator light will turn on.
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Set the generator on a level surface and the power switch to STOP. 3.1) Checking the Oil Level 1. Unscrew and remove the oil maintenance panel. 2. Unscrew the oil cap and clean the dipstick. 3. Check the oil level by reinserting the oil cap without rotating it. Remove the oil cap and examine the oil level on the dipstick.
■ To avoid the inconvenience of unexpected stopping, the engine oil level should be checked as often as possible. ■ Use 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed API standard SG, SF, SAE ratings. Effective Viscosity Range of Engine Oils 15W-50 10W-40 10W-30...
3.3) Checking the Air Filter Clean the air filter before your first use. Check the maintenance schedule for a complete cleaning guide. 1. Unscrew and remove the engine access panel. Remove the air filter cover. 2. Clean the air filter with soap and water or solvent. Squeeze dry and then soak in clean engine oil.
4. STARTING THE ENGINE The available engine starting methods may vary between different models. NOTE ■ Operate the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment. ■ Do not operate the generator in an unventilated area. ■...
Page 20
3. Choose one of the starting modes to start the engine: A, B, C. If there is no battery in the generator or the battery has died, the generator can only be started using the recoil method. If there is a battery and it is flat, running the generator will recharge the battery.
B) Electric Start With the power switch already in RUN position, rotate the switch further to START and hold there for 1 second or until the engine starts. Release the switch to RUN position. C) Wireless Remote Start With the power switch already in RUN position, press the START button of the remote control once to start the engine.
5. GENERATOR USE WARNING • Be sure to ground the generator when the connected electrical appliance is grounded. • Do not connect to the building’s electrical system. Doing so may result in electrical shocks and fire. • For long engine life, do not exceed the rated running wattage of the generator. •...
5.2) DC Applications The DC receptacle, 15-30V under no-load condition, may be used for charging 12V battery only. In DC operation, turn EcoMode to OFF. NOTE The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If used at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC.
OUTPUT SURCHARGE OVERLOAD PRET A UTILISER 5.3) AC Applications LOW OIL 1. Start engine and make sure the output indicator light is on. HUILE BAS Indication Lights 2. Confirm all electrical appliances are switched off, and connect the appliance plugs to the generator receptacle. 3.
6. STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the power switch to STOP immediately. 1. Switch off the connected electrical appliances, and pull out their plugs. 2. Turn the power switch to STOP or press the OFF button on the remote control. 3.
Improper maintenance may cause the generator to malfunction and can lead to serious injuries. Contact Energizer Customer Support if you have any maintenance questions. General Inspection Tips 1. Look for fuel leaks around the fuel tank, fuel hose, and fuel valve. Close the fuel valve and repair leaks immediately.

7.1) Emission Control System Emission Source Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NO ) and hydrocarbons. It is very important to control the emissions of NO and hydrocarbons as they are a major contributor to air pollution. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is a source of pollution as well.
Page 29
Replacement parts and accessories The parts making up the emission control system in your product’s engine have been specifically approved and certified by the regulatory agencies. You can trust that the replacement parts supplied by customer service have been manufactured to the same production standard as the original parts.
7.2) Change Oil Drain the oil rapidly and completely while the engine is still warm. Bung Oil Maintenance Panel Oil Drain Bolt 1. Loosen screws of the oil maintenance cover, and remove the cover. 2. Remove the oil dipstick and the bottom casing’s rubber bung. 3.
NOTE ■ For conforming to the environment requirement, the used oil will be put into a sealed container and then be transported to the service station for proper disposal. Do not throw it into the trash or pour it on the ground. 7.3) Air Filter Service A dirty air filter will restrict air flow into the carburetor.
1. Unscrew and remove the air filter maintenance panel. 2. Unscrew and remove the air filter assembly. 3. Remove the foam filter. 4. If the foam element is dirty, clean it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry thoroughly, or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
6. Reinstall the spark plug cap. 7. Reinstall the spark plug maintenance cover. NOTE ■ The spark plug must be securely tightened. Tightening in wrong way will cause spark plug to heat up, enough to damage the engine. ■ Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range. 7.5) Spark Arrester Maintenance 1.
7.6) Replace Battery and Fuse Not all models include a battery with an electric start system. Battery Specifications Voltage Capacity Dimension L≤138mm W≤66mm H≤88mm NOTE ■ When the engine is running, the battery will be charging. ■ The battery will slowly loose charge when left for long periods. For use with a trickle charging system, the charging current should be less than 0.15c amperes (c: battery rated capacity).
8. TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE Avoid fuel spilling during transporting or temporary storing, the power switch should be turned to STOP, and the generator should be placed on a level surface. 8.1) Transporting the Generator • Do not overfill the fuel tank. (No residual fuel on the neck of tank). •...

b. Turn the fuel switch to OPEN, and loosen the carburetor drain bolt to discharge all gasoline from inside of the carburetor. c. Take off the spark plug cap, revolve the engine three or four times by pulling on the recoil start, discharge the gasoline from the fuel lines. d.
8.3) Draining the Fuel Tank 1. Turn OFF the engine. Remove the fuel cap and the debris screen underneath the fuel cap. 2. Siphon the fuel into an approved gasoline container.
