OPERATION Reduce Risk of Fire WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury. • Keep portable generator at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) from any structure, trees or vegetation over 12 in.
Page 15
2. Oil and Gasoline/LPG Add Engine Oil We recommend using FIRMAN SAE 10W-30 API SJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils (API SJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special additives. Ambient temperature determines the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature range expected.
Page 16
Make sure the sump is completely full of oil to the upper limit (H). Do not operate engine until oil level issue is corrected. Contact Firman customer service. Add Gasoline WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.
Page 17
High altitude may cause hard starting, increased fuel consumption and sparkplug fouling. To operate at high altitudes FIRMAN can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting Customer Support.

OPERATION Connecting LPG Fuel WARNING! Liquid Petroleum gas (LPG) is extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury. • The fuel supply line must always be shut off when the engine is not running. Failure to shut off fuel may allow fuel to leak at the generator.
Page 19
OPERATION Indicator light - Battery Power Saving Mode This generator is equipped with an electronic module which consumes battery power. When the main fuel selector switch is turned to the GAS or LPG position, the indicator light will turn RED for up to 4 minutes (before going off). Starting the engine successfully anytime during the 4 minutes will turn the indicator light OFF.
Page 20
OPERATION NOTICE When the main fuel selector switch is turned to the GAS position, the indicator light will turn RED for up to 4 minutes (before going off). Starting the engine successfully anytime during the 4 minutes will turn the indicator light OFF. See Indicator light-Battery Power Saving Mode section for more information.

OPERATION 7. Pull the choke knob out to the “START” position.(For electric start move to step (11)) 8. For recoil start only - PULL-TO-PRIME Pull the starter cord 1-2 times. Pull slowly until resistance if felt and then pull rapidly. 9.For recoil start only - Move the choke knob to the “RUN”...
Page 23
OPERATION 12. For electric start only - Move the choke knob to the RUN position. 13. Allow portable generator to run at no load for a few minutes to stabilize before plugging in any electrical devices. NOTICE If engine starts but fails to run, or if portable generator shuts down during operation, check oil level.
Page 24
OPERATION 5. Connecting Electrical Loads This inverter generator has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. WARNING! Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn resulting in death or serious injury. • Damaged or overloaded extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting death or serious injury.
Page 25
OPERATION Economy Control Switch The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is connected.
Page 26
OPERATION 5. Stopping the generator 1. Turn off and remove all electrical loads. Never stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. Never stop the engine by moving the choke to the start position. Let the generator run at no-load for one minute to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.

Maintenance - Storage Long Term Storage It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system components such as the carburetor, fuel hoses or tank during storage. Ethanol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
