Page 15 KNOW YOUR GENERATOR LOW IDLE SWITCH This generator is equipped with an LOW IDLE Switch (Fig. 1). Engaging this switch allows the system to regulate the engine speed and automatically adjust its fuel consumption to match the required load. When the electrical load changes, the generator engine will automatically speed up and slow down as needed.
Page 16 KNOW YOUR GENERATOR GENERATOR CAPACITY Make sure the generator can supply enough running (rated) and starting (max.) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps. Select the items you will power at the same time. Total the running (rated) watts of these items.
Page 17 KNOW YOUR GENERATOR The chart below serves as a reference for the estimated wattage requirements of common electrical de- vices. However, do not solely rely on this chart - all electronics and appliances are built differently. Always check the wattage listed on the electrical device before consulting this chart.

Page 18: Generator Preparation
GENERATOR PREPARATION The following section describes the necessary steps to prepare the generator for use. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life. STEP 1 - ADD/CHECK OIL The generator is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator for the ﬁrst time.
Page 19 GENERATOR PREPARATION For subsequent operation, the oil level should be checked before each use, or after every 8 hours of opera- tion. The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will NOT start without a sufﬁcient amount of oil. To check oil level (before every subsequent start): 1.
Page 20 GENERATOR PREPARATION To add gasoline, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the generator is shut OFF and on a level Fuel Cap surface. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 8) and set it aside. The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew. 2.
Page 21 GENERATOR PREPARATION 3. Remove the cover from the battery's negative (-) terminal C I G and connect the black cable to the battery's negative (-) ter- minal as shown in Fig. 10. The generator's positive pole has already been connected. Double check to conﬁrm that the connection is secure.
Page 22: Starting The Generator

Allow at least two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator. 2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see “GROUND THE GENERATOR”). 3.
Page 26 SHUTTING OFF THE GENERATOR (FOR LPG) CAUTION: Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never stop the engine with electrical devices connected and running. 1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator.
Page 27: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Proper routine maintenance of the generator will help prolong the life of the machine. Please perform maintenance checks and operations according to the Maintenance Schedule. If there are any questions about the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, Please contact your authorized service center.

Page 29 MAINTENANCE 4. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, or if the electrodes are worn or burned, discard it and replace with a new spark plug. 0.7 - 0.8 mm 0.028 - 0.031 in. 5. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the spark plug base, then re-gap the spark plug.
Page 30 MAINTENANCE DRAINING THE FUEL TANK / CARBURETOR To help prevent gum deposits in the fuel system, drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor before storing. 1. With the help of another person, place the generator on an elevated platform such as a table or desk. 2.
Page 31 MAINTENANCE DRAINING/CHANGING OIL Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil MORE OFTEN if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. Changing the oil when the engine is warm allows for complete drainage.
Page 32: Transportation & Storage
TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following: 1. Tighten the fuel cap and turn the vacuum relief valve to “OFF”. 2. Set the engine switch to “OFF”. 3. Drain the fuel tank if possible. 4.
Page 33: Troubleshooting Guide
