    1. SAFETY INSTRUCTION Warning: 1. Attention! Exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generator in a room without ventilation system! 2. Children should be protected by keeping them at a safe distance from the generator set! 3. Refilling of the generating sets are not allowed during the operation! 4.
  • Page 4 • Run the generator in respect of the power indicated in the user’s manual. Do not run the generator with an overload or at excessive speed. • The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or even for a time after it has stopped.
  • Page 5 • Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in unventilated rooms. When installed in ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed. • Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections) should be checked to ensure that they are not defective.
  • Page 6 • Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting. • Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time. • While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright, otherwise the fuel may escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.
  • Page 7 • You must periodically check the silencer (Before doing this, switch off the generator and let it cool completely). A damaged silencer increases noise. • Do not throw motor oil into the drains but deposit it at a collection point set up for that purpose. •...

    3. CONTROLS 1) Engine Switch To start and stop the engine. Switch position: OFF: To Stop the engine. Key can be removed/inserted. ON: To run the engine after starting. START: To start the engine by turning the starter motor. With Electric Starter Without Electric Starter Return the key to the ON position once the engine has started.
  • Page 10 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. 5) Circuit Breaker The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the receptacle.

    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).
  • Page 12 Special Requirements There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction. •...
  • Page 13 4) AC Operation ①Start the engine ②Switch the AC circuit breaker ON. ③ Plug in the appliance. Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup. Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the circuit breaker.

    High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500 meters) above sea level, have an authorized generator dealer perform this carburetor modification.

    In normal use: 1. Turn the AC circuit breaker to the OFF position. Disconnect the DC battery charging cables. 2. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position. 3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. 7. MAINTENANCE Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
  • Page 20 WARNING Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner's manual. The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your generator under severe conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use it in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
  • Page 21 CAUTION Used motor oil may cause cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

    4) 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. 5) Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
  • Page 24 WARNING Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious bums or fires. Let the engine cool before transporting or storing the generator. Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the generator.
  • Page 25 The fuel of this machine is combustible and deflagrating. After the machine has been shut down, the additional fuel must be treated properly and the local environmental requirements must be met. 2) Change the engine oil 3) Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug.
