Safety Warnings Personal safety and property safety of you and others are very important. We have provided three kinds of safety messages in this manual and on the generator labels. Each safety message is preceded by a symbol Please read these messages carefully. You WILL be SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you get familiar with your generator’s safe operation procedures. Never use it indoors Never use it in a wet condition Never directly connect it to a home power system Keep it at least 1m away from...

3.CONTROLS 1) Engine Switch Engine switch Engine switch LC2500-J Start switch LC6500-J Start switch 2) Recoil Starter Gently pull up the starter grip and pull it out briskly when a resistance is felt. Don’t let the starter grip spring back abruptly after starting; the starter grip should be let back gently.
CONTROLS 4) Choke Lever The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. Put choke lever in the ON position when the engine has warmed up. Choke lever 5) AC Overcurrent Protector When there is a problem in the load or a wrong connection, the AC circuit will be overloaded, and the AC overcurrent protector will automatically disconnect the circuit to protect it.
CONTROLS 6) Ground Terminal The ground terminal is a dedicated terminal for reliably grounding the whole generator. Ground terminal 7) Oil Alert System The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position) to avoid damage to the engine.
GENERATOR USE 4. GENERATOR USE Requirements of generator use concerning the environment ·Applicable ambient temperature range: -15°C~40°C. ·Applicable humidity level: below 95%. ·Applicable altitude: under 3,300 feet (1,000m) above sea level; for altitudes over 3,300 feet (1,000m) above sea level, lower power rating is needed for operation). Connections to a Home Power Supply If the generator is to be connected to a home power supply as a standby, connection shall be performed by a professional...
GENERATOR USE 2) Generator Ground Circuit In order to prevent electric shock due to shoddy electrical appliances or wrong use of electricity, the generator must be grounded with a good-quality insulated conductor. Ground terminal 3) AC Applications Before starting the generator, it must be confirmed that the total of all loads’ power values doesn’t exceed the generator’s rated power.
GENERATOR USE Generally, capacitive and inductive loads, especially motor driven devices will generate a very high starting current. The following table serves as a reference for your connecting the generator to the electricity consumers as shown in the table. Wattage Example Type Typical device...
GENERATOR USE DC overcurrent protector When there is a problem in the load or a wrong connection, the DC circuit will be overloaded, and the DC overcurrent protector will automaticly disconnect the circuit to protect it. When the indicator inside DC overcurrent protector pops up, it means DC overcurrent protector is in the OFF position.
GENERATOR USE 5. PREOPERATION CHECK 1) Engine Oil Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface and with the engine stopped. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not recommended.

GENERATOR USE ·Fuelling must be performed in a place with good ventilation when the engine has stopped. Remember: never smoke or light a fire. ·Never spill the fuel out when fueling ·Avoid long or frequent contact with fuel or inhalation of fuel vapor. ·Never let children contact fuel.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE 6. STARTING THE ENGINE 1) Manual starting ○ . Cut off all loads from the output end. ○ . Turn the fuel cock to the ON position. ○ . Put the choke lever in the OFF position. Do not shut off the choke if the engine is started when it is warm.
MAINTENANCE 8. MAINTENANCE Good maintenance is the best assurance for safe, economical and zero-malfunction running of the generator, and it is also good for environment protection. Engine exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Maintenance can only be performed after the engine is stopped. If maintenance must be performed while the engine is running, the working area must be well ventilated.
MAINTENANCE Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction by which you can be hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual. 1) Engine oil change Drain the engine oil when the engine has been warmed to ensure complete and rapid draining.
MAINTENANCE ○ . Unsnap the air filter cover clips, remove the air filter cover and check the filter element to confirm it is complete and clean. ○ . If the foam element is dirty, clean it following the method below: Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, or in a nonflammable (or high flash point) detergent, detergent;...
