If the engine oil alerting light flashes for few seconds, it means the oil capacity is insufficient. Refill the oil and restart the engine. 4.2 Overload Indicating Light(RED) When the overload indicating light is on, generator detects that the output of the phase-side electrical equipment has been overloaded, causing the converter to overheat or the AC voltage to rise.
Notice: When using the electrical equipment with high starting current(like compressor and sinking pump...), the overload indicating light may will flash for few seconds. But this doesn’t belongs to troubles as aforementioned. 4.3 AC Indicating Light(GREEN) The AC indicating light will be on while the engine starts and keep normal output.

5. Preparation Ground terminal 5.1 Fuel Oil Fuel oil is flammable and toxic. Please read the safety instruction carefully before refueling.(See Page 7 for details.) Do not fill the tank with too much oil, or the oil will overflow when the tank gets warm.
To avoid damage the plastic outer case, please wipe off residual gasoline with a clean, soft cloth after refueling. You must use unleaded gasoline. The leaded one would damage the internal parts of the engine. Suggestion: unleaded gasoline Fuel oil tank capacity: 12.5L 5.2 Engine Oil The generator is not injected with engine oil when leaving the...

5.6 AC Breaker Protector Overload current can turn off the breaker protector automatically. The load shortened and overload should be avoided. If the breaker protector closed automatically, please must test the loading before opening. AC breaker protector 5.7 Ground Terminal Ground terminal connects the earth line for prevention of electric shock.
6.1 Connect to Household Power Supply When the generator is connected to the household power supply as a standby power supply, it should be connected by a special electrician or someone familiar with the electricity. After connecting the load to the generator, carefully check whether the electrical connection is safe and reliable.

This engine may require a high altitude carburetor kit to ensure correct engine operation at altitudes above 1000 meters. The performance of a gasoline engine can be improved by replacing a slightly smaller main nozzle on the carburetor or by adjusting the adjustment screw. If you often use generators in areas over 1000 meters, you can buy special high-altitude components for replacement.

Don’t turn the generator switch to the electric starting position for more than 5 seconds, otherwise the starting motor will be damaged. If starting is unsuccessful, 10 seconds should be interval between multiple starting. If the speed of the starting motor decreases more after a period of time, it means that the battery should be charged.
8. Stopping the Engine 1)Turn the the ECO switch to “OFF”; 2)Turn off the AC Breaker; 3)Turn the engine switch to “OFF”; 5)Disconnect any electric devices. To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the Engine Switch to the “OFF" position. 9.
