    INTRODUCTION Attention: Read through the complete manual prior to the initial use of your generator. Using This Manual The operating manual is an important part of your generator. It should  be read thoroughly before initial use, and referred to often to make sure  adequate safety and service concerns are being addressed. Reading the owner’s manual thoroughly will help avoid any personal injury  or damage to your machine. By knowing how best to operate this  machine, you will be better positioned to show others who may also  operate the unit. This manual was written to take you from the safety requirements to the  operating functions of your machine.  You can refer back to the manual at  any time to help troubleshoot any specific operating functions, so store it  with the machine at all times.

    STOPPING THE GENERATOR Stopping The Generator 1. Turn off the power switch of the electric equipment and unplug the      cord from receptacle of the generator. 2. Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down without load before      stopping. 3. Push the engine switch to the OFF position. 4. Push the main switch to the OFF position. OIL SENSOR The oil sensor detects a drop in oil level in the crankcase and  automatically stops the engine when the oil level drops below a predetermined level. When the engine has stopped automatically, turn off the generator, and  check the oil level. Refill engine oil to the upper level as instructed  and  restart the engine. CAUTION DO NOT remove oil sensor probe when refilling with oil. Remove oil filler cap on the opposite side of carburetor.

    MAINTENANCE Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CAUTION Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance,  servicing or repair. NOTE: It is recommended to use ear protection when performing operation, maintenance and repair of the generator. Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems must be performed by an authorized service provider. DAILY INSPECTION Before running the generator, check the following service items: • Safe surroundings. • Leakage of gasoline and engine oil. • Clean engine oil. • AC receptacle for damage. • Enough gasoline. • Excessive vibration, noise. • Loose or broken bolts, nuts or shields. • Clean air element. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance is vital to safe and efficient operation of your  generator.
  • Page 25: Changing Engine Oil

    MAINTENANCE CHANGING ENGINE OIL Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation. Thereafter it should be  changed every 100 hours. This generator uses SAE 10W30 oil. 1. Place an oil pan beneath the unit. Drain oil by removing the drain plug  and the oil filler cap while the engine is warm, but not hot.  2. Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the   upper level on the oil filler cap. 3. Dispose of used oil according to local zoning or environmental  regulations. SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER Maintaining the air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt  induced through improperly installed, improperly serviced or inadequate  elements damages and wears out engines. Always keep the element  clean. Never run the generator without the air filter element. 1. Unhook the cover and remove the cleaner element.  2. Urethane foam: Wash the element with fresh water. Squeeze out the  water then dry the element. (Do not twist.) CLEANING AND GAPPING SPARK PLUG If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove the carbon using a plug  cleaner or wire brush. Use NGK BPR6ES or equivalent. Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in). CLEANING FUEL STRAINER Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer.
  • Page 26: Transporting

    TRANSPORTING 1. Check the fuel (gasoline), engine oil and air cleaner. 2. Start engine. 3. With appliance such as lighting activated, run the engine for over ten  minutes. 4. Check the following items:   • Engine running properly.   • Adequate output.    • Engine switch normally operated.   • No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline). Transporting TRANSPORTING When transporting the generator, make sure that the fuel (gasoline)  should be drained from the tank. WARNING To prevent fuel spillage due to the vibration and impact,  never transport the generator with fuel (gasoline) in the  tank. Secure the tank cap. To avoid the risk of the gasoline flammability, never leave  the generator in an area exposed to direct sunlight or  high temperatures for a long period time.  Keep the fuel in an approved storage tank when transporting. 1. Turn the engine switch to the STOP position. 2. Drain the fuel from the tank. 3. Tighten the tank cap. CAUTION DO NOT place any heavy objects on the generator. Select and place the generator in the proper position of the transport  vehicle so that the generator will not move or fall down. Secure the  generator if necessary.
  • Page 27: Storage

    STORAGE Storage PREPARATION FOR STORAGE The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your  generator for periods of 6 months or longer. 1. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line.      Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine       starting difficult. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank. 2. Remove the drain screw of the carburetor.  3. Change engine oil. 4. Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary. 5. Clean generator thoroughly with clean cloth. NEVER USE WATER TO        CLEAN GENERATOR. 6. Pull recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that      position. 7. Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.
