The safe use of this product requires an
understanding of the information on the
product and in this operator's manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you
are attempting. Before use of this
product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
AC RECEPTACLES
The receptacles can be used for
operating appropriate appliances,
electrical lighting, tools, and motor loads.
AIR FILTERS
The air filters help to limit the amount of
dirt and dust drawn into the unit during
operation.
LOW IDLE MODE
The low idle mode is used to control the
speed of the engine and conserve fuel.
When the switch is in the ON (I) position
and no appliances are connected to the
unit, the engine will idle. If an appliance
is added, the engine speed will increase
to power the item. If the appliance is
removed, the engine will return to idle.
NOTICE:
If high electrical loads are connected
simultaneously, turn the low idle mode
to the OFF position to reduce voltage
changes.
HANDLES
The generator is equipped with two
handles for easy transport. Both handles
should be used to move the generator.
FEATURES
FUEL TANK
To provide increased operating time,
start with a full tank before operation.
Always refuel with the engine OFF and
cool.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge is a mechanical device
that measures the fuel level in the tank.
The red indicator in the window will
reference the level in relation to full or
empty.
GROUND TERMINAL
The ground terminal is used to assist in
properly grounding the generator to help
protect against electrical shock. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in your area.
LED DISPLAY
LEDs provide feedback to indicate
whether the generator is in use,
overloaded, or in need of lubricant.
OIL CAP/DIPSTICK
Remove the oil fill cap to check and add
lubricant to the generator when
necessary.
PARALLEL KIT (Optional)
The non-polarized parallel kit terminals
are used with a parallel kit (sold
separately) that will allow generators to
be linked together to increase output.
NOTE: Read and understand the parallel
kit's instructions prior to use. Kit is for
usage with this unit only.
