3.CONTROLS 1) Engine Switch To start and stop the engine. Switch position: To stop the engine.(OFF) ○ To run the engine.(ON) ○ Starting circuit is switched on, The starter motor starts. ○ ENGINE SWITCH ENGINE SWITCH To electric starter (option kit), include the START position. 2) Recoil Starter To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
VALVE LEVER 4) Choke The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever or choke rod manually. Move the lever or the rod to the CLOSE position to enrich the mixture. CHOKE LEVER CHOKE ROD OPEN...
6) Ground Terminal The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal non-current carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
2) Generator Ground System To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. The generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles.
Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator. Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.

DC Circuit Protector The DC circuit protector(rated current: 10 A) automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or the connections between the battery and the generator are improper. The indicator inside the DC circuit protector button will pop out to show that the DC circuit protector has switched off.
. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the generator negative (-) terminal. ○ . Disconnect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable from the battery negative ○ (-) terminal. . Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable from the generator positive (+) terminal. ○...
Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. Use 4-stroke oil, or equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification SG, SF/CC, CD. Motor oils classified SG, SF/CC, CD will show this designation on the container.

· Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. · Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored. ·...
Oxygenated Fuels Some gasoline are blended with alcohol or an ether compound to increase the octane. These gasoline are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. Some areas of the United States use oxygenated fuels to help meet clean air standards. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure its pump octane rating is 86 or higher.
·With electric starter: (Optional kit) Turn the engine switch to the START position and hold it there for 5 seconds or until the engine starts. Operating the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the motor. If the engine fails to start, release the switch and wait 10 seconds before operating the starter again.
REGULAR SERVICE PERIOD First Every 6 Every Performed at every indicated month or Every 3 Each month or months year or operating hour interval, whichever months or 20 Hrs. or 100 300 Hrs. comes first. 50 Hrs. (3) Hrs. (3) ITEM Check level ○...
3) Engine oil change Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure complete and rapid draining. 1. Remove the drain plug and sealing washer, oil filler cap, and drain the oil. 2. Reinstall the drain plug and sealing washer. Tighten the plug securely. 3.
4) Air cleaner service A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas. Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can cause a fire or explosion.
5) Fuel Sediment Cup Cleaning FUEL VALVE The sediment cup prevents dirt or water which may be in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned. .
. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. ○ Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused. . Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. ○ 0.7-0.80mm Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
