    Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Be sure new equipment components and repair parts include the current safety signs. Replacement safety signs are available from your Mi-T-M Customer Service Representative. Learn how to operate the machine and how to use controls properly.

  • Page 6: Safety Signs

    CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas. Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly.
  • Page 7 A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly grounded. All Mi-T-M generators have internally bonded ground wires. A GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
  • Page 8 (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Test GFCI before each use, see Operations Instructions for further information. If GFCI fails test, DO NOT use your generator. Contact your Mi-T-M Customer Service Representative. Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads.
  • Page 9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s manual completely before using. When using this product, the following basic precautions should always be followed: 1. Read all the instructions before using the product. 2. This product is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the power cord to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
  • Page 10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 10. Do not operate the generator or any electrical tool in any area where water or similar materials constitute an electrical hazard to the operator. Do not operate on wet surfaces, in rain or in snow. 11. Always be sure that the generator is on secure footing so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers.
  • Page 11 WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator.

  • Page 16: Preparing The Generator

    Preparing the Generator GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.
  • Page 17 Preparing the Generator ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE CHART Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes. Use a high quality detergent oil with API classifications of SJ or higher. Check oil level before each operation and ensure that it is maintained.
  • Page 18 Preparing the Generator FUELING WARNING: EXPLOSIVE FUEL! GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND ITS VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF IGNITED. STORE GASOLINE ONLY APPROVED CONTAINERS, WELL VENTILATED, UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND AWAY FROM SPARKS OR FLAMES. DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING, SINCE SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE IF IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS OR SPARKS FROM IGNITION.
  • Page 19 Preparing the Generator HIGH ALTITUDE At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

  • Page 20: Operation

  • Page 21 Operating the Generator SHUTDOWN 1. Remove all load by turning off electrical appliances and unplugging electric cords. 2. Allow engine to run at idle speed (3000), or at no load condition (3000-1MH0, 4000, 5000) to cool for two (2) minutes. NOTE: Failure to allow the engine to cool for two (2) minutes may result in damage to the generator.
  • Page 22 Operating the Generator CONTROLS OIL WARNING DEVICE: NOTE: This engine is equipped with a “Low Oil” shutdown system for engine protection. The engine stops when the oil level gets too low. The engine will not restart without adding oil. If the unit is tilted too much during operation, it may suddenly stop even though the oil level is not low.
  • Page 23 Operating the Generator CONTROLS CABLE SIZE: Equipment damage can result from low voltage. Therefore, to prevent excessive voltage drop between the generator and the equipment, the cable should be of adequate gauge for the length used. The cable selection chart gives the maximum cable lengths for various gauges of wire which can adequately carry the loads shown.
