2)ECO switch Energy conservation When the energy-saving switch is in the energy-saving position, the generator is in the energy-saving state. When disconnecting or using low power, the engine automatically returns to a low speed state, thus reducing engine fuel consumption. Full speed When the energy-saving switch is in full-speed position, the engine will remain in a high speed state.
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Before using, make sure the generator is placed on a horizontal floor and do not start the engine. 3.1) Check oil level Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cotton cloth. Re-rotate into the crankcase and remove. Check the oil level. If the oil level is below the oil gauge indicator line, please add oil.

The SAE viscosity grade is shown in the following table: Environmental Oil type temperature -25℃ - 30℃ 10W-30 -15℃ - 40℃ 15W-40 Store and use oil carefully to prevent dirt or dust from falling into the oil. When adding oil, wipe the area around the refueling opening. Do not mix different specifications of oil to prevent negative effects on oil performance.

seriously damaged. Under certain circumstances, gasoline is extremely flammable • and explosive. Please refuel in a well-ventilated place and shut down the • engine. No pyrotechnics are allowed in the engine refueling area and gasoline storage area. • Gasoline shall not overflow the tank (the gasoline level must be lower than the red level indicator).

Tank capacity: 8.0 l 3.3)Check air cleaner Check the air filter to make sure it is clean and functional. A、Loosen the air cleaner maintenance cover screw and remove the air filter maintenance cover. B、Snap open the Air Cleaner cover, and remove it. C、Take out the air filter element.
The engine is not allowed to run without an air filter element, otherwise dirt will enter the engine and cause rapid wear and tear. 4. STARTING THE ENGINE Disconnect the electrical equipment from the alternator's AC • socket before starting the engine. For initial use (long unused, start after gasoline is used up), •...

2.Turn the engine switch knob of the generator to the "CHOKE" position. CHOKE 3.Pull out the choke lever completely. Note: when the engine is hotter or the ambient temperature is higher, the choke lever does not need to be pulled out. 4.Gently pull the start handle until the resistance is felt, and then quickly pull in the direction shown by the arrow in the figure below.
Page 15
Pay attention to pull the starting handle, the pull angle should • not be too large, to prevent the handle from wearing the housing. • Do not allow the starting handle to rebound and retract automatically to avoid damage to the shell. Slowly put the starting handle back.
6.When the generator starts, place the AC circuit protector in the "connected" position, then the electrical load can be used. The generator is designed for use at a maximum sea level of 1500 m. 5. USING THE GENERATOR In order to prevent electric shock due to improper use, the •...

5.3 Operation indicator light, fault indicator light. Under normal operating conditions, the operating indicator • (green) light is on. If the generator is overloaded, or if the connected electrical • equipment is short-circuited, the operating indicator light(green) is extinguished, and the fault indicator (red) is turned on, the output power will be cut off, but the engine will still operate.
After the low oil level alarm system shuts down the engine, if • you start the engine again, the low oil alarm indicator (yellow) lights up and the engine cannot run. If this happens, please re-fill some proper engine oil. 6.

Be sure the fuel tank cap switch and Engine Switch locate the “OFF” position, when stopping, transporting, and storing the generator.
7. MAINTENANCE The purpose of maintenance and periodic maintenance is to keep the generator in the best operating condition. Stop the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must run, be sure the area is well ventilated because of the exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.

7.1 Change Oil After engine shut down, the oil should be removed quickly and completely. 1.Loosen the air filter maintenance cover screw and remove the air filter maintenance cover.
Page 25
2.Take out the dipstick. 3.Drain out dirty oil. 4.Refill the recommended oil and check the oil level. 5.Re-install the air filter maintenance cover and tighten the dipstick.
Page 26
For conforming to the environment requirement, the used oil has to be put into a sealed container and then be transported to the service station for recycle. Do not throw it into the trash or pour it on the ground. 7.2 Air Cleaner A dirty Air Cleaner will restrict air flow into the carburetor.
Page 27
A、Loosen the maintenance cover screws and remove the maintenance cover. B、Snap open the Air Cleaner cover, and remove it. C、Take out the Air Cleaner element. The filter is cleaned with a special liquid, tapped out or blown through with compressed air and left to dry.
Page 28
D、Afterwards, the filter is sprayed with a special oil. These products are available in DIY stores or motorbike accessory shops. E、Re-install the Air Cleaner element and cover. F、Re-install the maintenance cover, and tighten the screws.

7.3 Spark Plug In order to ensure normal engine operation, spark plug clearance must be appropriate, spark plug no carbon incrustation. 7.3.1 Remove the spark plug maintenance cover. 7.3.2 Take off the spark plug cap. 7.3.3 Take off the spark plug with the spark plug spanner. 7.3.4 Visual inspection the spark plug.
Page 30
7.3.5 Measure the spark plug gap with a standard gauge. The normal value should be:0.6-0.7mm. The Spark Plug must be securely tightened. Tightening in wrong way will cause Spark Plug hot, even damage the engine. Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range. (1) Install the Spark Plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.

7.4 Spark Collector The spark collector must be maintained for every 100 hours of engine operation. 7.4.1 When the muffler is cooled, loosen the screws from the muffler outlet and take off the spark collector. 7.4.2 Use a brush to clean the carbon deposits on the spark collector. If the spark collector is damaged, please replace it.
8. TRANSPORTING/STORING Avoid fuel spilling during transporting or temporary storing, both the engine switch and the fuel cap vent leveler should turn to “OFF’ position, and the generator should place in normal operating position. After the engine is completely cooled, turn the tank cap switch counterclockwise to the "off"...

Storage for a long period: 8.1 Make sure the storage area without excessive humidity and dust. 8.2 Drain out of gasoline. Gasoline is explosive and flammable in the specified condition. Fireworks are strictly prohibited near gasoline. A、Drain off the gasoline in the fuel tank, storing into the suitable containers.
Page 34
D、Turn the engine switch to “OFF” position, and tighten the drain screw of carburetor. E、Re-install the Spark Plug cap. 8.3 Change the engine oil. 8.4 Remove the spark plug and fill 10-20ml clean engine oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull up the handle and run the engine for several revolutions to evenly distribute the oil, and then reinstall the spark plug.
