You CANNOT smell or see this gas. • Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building during use. • NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home. • NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide. • NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death. • If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. • If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire department to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.
- Page 8 SAFETY WARNING Fuel and vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL • Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel. • Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand. • Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite. • Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel before starting engine. • Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling dangerous fumes. • NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance.
- Page 9 SAFETY This product has been designed with internal grounding or floating bonded neutral. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. DANGER Improper grounding can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician for your local requirements if you are in doubt as to whether the unit is properly grounded. This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an external ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual can be necessary. Please consult a qualified electrician for local regulations. The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry. Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the generator. Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs,especially a grounding pin. NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection devices. If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a qualified electrician install the appropriate equipment in accordance with local electrical codes. ...
- Page 10 SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s manual completely before using. When using this product, the following basic precautions should always be followed. • Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered to protect it from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area during generator use. • Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation. Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level. • Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately. • Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water. • Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal. • DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame. Keep the area well ventilated and keep open flames / sparks away when charging a battery. • The engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the ...

Page 14: Preparing The Generator
PREPARING THE GENERATORS Preparing the Generator GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the unit is properly grounded for your local regulations. The ground terminal on the frame can be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding wire securely to the ground terminal. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source. A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If a pipe is unavail- able, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the ground source. The pipe should be 3/4” diameter or larger and the outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used it should be at least 5/8” diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used it should be at least 1/2” diam- eter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8’. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4’ down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator, must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be “Double Insulated”. It is recommended to: 1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords. 2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to appliance. We strongly recommend that all applicable regulations relating to ground- ing specifications be checked and followed. -

Turn on the switch of the appliance. -
Page 20: Wattage Information
OPERATION WATTAGE INFORMATION Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. Check with your nearest dealer or service provider with questions regard- ing power surge of certain appliances or power tools. • Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is needed to maintain use. • Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up. • Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up. • Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and its use. Once enough “surge” is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 30% to 50% of the wattage to continue running. • Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example, a 5000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool. • Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal running wattage in order to start. For example, a 5000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 7000 watt pump. To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance / tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools. CAUTION If an electric motor fails to start or reach running speed, turn off the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage. Always check the requirements of the tool or appliance being used compared to the rated output of the generator. -
