Connection Plugs(AC socket) The Volt outlet is overload protected by the inverter. Each socket will power 120Volt AC, single phase, electrical loads requiring up to 3.6kW. Oil Warning Light (Yellow) The low oil level alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage due to insufficient oil in the crankcase. The low oil level alarm system automatically shuts down the engine before the engine oil in the crankshaft box is lowered to safety (the generator engine switch remains “ON”).
V.F.T meter The V.F.T meter can be used for displaying voltage, frequency(hertz),run time and total run time as applicable. (Display mode depends on the configuration). The LCD displays each mode by pressing the button below the display. 1. Voltage(V) 2. Frequency(F) Output voltage of the generator.
devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional. ECO Switch 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 “full speed”...
GENERATOR PREPARATION The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call (872) 314-0005 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST for customer service.

● Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol or gasoline containing methanol, otherwise the engine will be seriously damaged. To add gasoline, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the generator stopped and cooled entirely,also make sure it is on a level surface. 2.
ground fault condition exists in the generating set or in connected electrical devices, especially when the unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in underground devices. A ground terminal has been provided on the generating set. For remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge(4mm 2 12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generating set ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground.
GENERATOR OPERATION Generator Start ● Disconnect the electrical equipment from the alternator's AC socket before starting the engine. ● The electric devices should be in OFF position before connect to the generator. ● Make sure that the ECO switch is on “OFF”position. 1.
Electrical Shock To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged. DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT handle generating set or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. Loading Capacity WARNING: Do not overload the generating set.
Stop The Generator WARNING: Never stop the engine with electrical devices connected and with the connected devices in “ON” position. 1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. 2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator. 3.
MAINTENANCE The purpose of maintenance and periodic maintenance is to keep the generator in the best operating condition. WARNING: Improper maintenance or failure correct a problem before operation can cause a malfunction and result in property damage, serious injury or DEATH. lease use our original spare parts or the same quality parts when replacing damaged parts.Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
every 10 hours; If necessary, change the air filter element every 25 hours. ● If maintenance period and the exact time(hour), the one which comes first should govern. ● If you have missed the scheduled time to maintain your engine, do it as soon as possible. Generator Maintenance WARNING: Never clean the generator when it is running! Never use water to clean the generating set.
6. Squeeze in a clean absorbent cloth to remove all excess oil. 7. Assemble the filter element onto the filter unit. 8. Reinstall the bolt of the air filter cover. Spark Plug Maintenance Spark plug gap : 0.76mm. Spark plug tighten torque: 12.5N.m The spark plug is important for proper engine operation.
Fuel Tank Filter Maintenance WARNING:Never use the gasoline while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame. 1. Remove the fuel tank cap and filter. 2. Clean the filter with gasoline. 3. Wipe the filter and install it. 4. Install the fuel tank cap. NOTE: Be sure the fuel tank cap is tightened securely.
