1.SAFETY INFORMATION 1.1)SAFETY LABEL: DANGER! Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison that you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a home or garage. The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Pay attention to the warning labels. The engine exhaust system will become heated during operation and remain hot immediately after the engine is stopped. Gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive liquid. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Use of gasoline with an ethanol content greater than 10% can damage the engine and fuel system and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be done by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious injuries to electrical workers during a power outage, and when the utility power is restored, the generator may explode or cause fires.
electricity, and machinery hazards should perform maintenance procedures. Lubricate all exposed metal parts regularly. 1.5) OTHER SAFETY TIPS WARNING! To avoid breathing in poisonous carbon monoxide from the exhaust gases, adequate ventilation should be provided if the generator set is running in a partially enclosed space. If the generator set is stored outdoors, check all the electrical components on the control panel before each use.

SW (Economy control switch): “ON”( When the economy control switch is turned to“ON”( ), the engine keeps running at idle state automatically when the electrical appliance is disconnected,and it will return to the proper speed with the requirement of electrical load.
Page 10
The “ON”( ) is recommended to minimize the fuel consumption. ECON. SW NOTE When a high load electrical appliance is connected instantaneously, in order to reduce voltage change, turn the economy control switch to the“OFF”( )position. In DC operation, turn the economy control switch to the “OFF”( )position.
4. PRE- OPERATION CHECK WARNING! Be sure the generator is on the leveled surface and the generator is stopped. 4.1) Check Oil Level Remove the oil filler cap, fill the specified amount of the recommended oil,and then tighten the oil filler cap. NOTE Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil.
Effective Viscosity Range of Engine Oils(Ambient Air Temp.) 15W-50 10W-30 Synthetic 5W-30 5W-30 0°C °C °F °F NOTE Carefully use and store the engine oil, avoid getting dirt or dust into the engine oil. Mixing different kinds of engine oil is prohibited. Before the engine oil reduces below the safety margin, low oil alert system will close the engine automatically.
UPPER LIMIT MARK FUEL CAP OPEN Fuel Capacity: 5.5L WARNING! Gasoline is extremely explosive and flammable. Around the refueling area and fuel storage area, prohibit smoking and firing. Do not overfill the fuel tank (no fuel above the red upper limit mark).

1.Unscrew and remove the engine access panel. With the screws loose work the snapfits free around the perimeter, it may require some force. 2.Unscrew the air filter cover and remove the filter. 3.Clean the air filter with soap and water or solvent and squeeze dry.
5. STARTING THE ENGINE NOTE Before starting engine, disconnect load with AC receptacle. When transporting generator, turn the fuel cap vent lever to the “OFF” position. 1. Rotate the fuel cap vent lever to ON. 2. Rotate the fuel valve to the OPEN position. 3.

Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Avery rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. If the generator operates at high altitude, change the main-nozzle or adjust the idling-screw of carburetor.
6. GENERATOR USE WARNING! Be sure to ground the generator when the connected electrical appliance is grounded. Do not connect to the building’s electrical system, in order to avoid the electric shocks and fires. GROUND TERMINAL EARTH MARK WARNING! For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated out-put power of generator.
6.1) DC Application The DC receptacle, 15-30V under no-load condition, may be used for charging 12V battery only NOTE In DC operation, turn the ECON.SW to the “OFF” ( ) position. 6.1.1) Disconnect the vehicle battery ground cable from the negative(-) battery terminals.
WARNING! The battery can release the explosive gases. Keep the battery away from spark/fire. Charge the battery in ventilated condition. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid that will cause severe burn of skin and eyes. Therefore it is necessary to wear the protective clothing and mask.
NOTE To obtain the best working and longest working life of the generator, a new generator is supposed to run for 20 hours at 50% rated load. OUTPUT INDICATOR LIGHT (GREEN) NOTE Confirm all electrical appliances are in good working condition before connecting them to the generator.
OUTPUT INDICATOR LIGHT (GREEN) OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT(RED) 6.4) Oil alert system The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch remains in the “ON“position).
7. STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the “OFF”position 7.1) Switch off the connected electrical appliances, and pull out their plugs. 7.2) Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position. NOTE Be sure the fuel cap vent lever and engine switch locate the “OFF”...
8. MAINTENANCE The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is to keep the generator in the beset operating condition WARNING! Stop the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must run, be sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
* After engine break-in period (first 10 hours) the oil must be changed. **Change engine oil every year or 100 hours, whichever comes first. NOTE (1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. (2) These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient.
NOTE the used oil will be put into a sealed container and then be transported to the service station for recycler. Do not throw it into the trash or pour it on the ground. 8.2) Air Cleaner Service A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow into the carburetor.Clean and maintain the air cleaner regularly, especially in the extremely dusty areas.
8.2.2) Loosen the air cleaner cover screw and remove the cover. AIR CLEANER ELEMENT AIR CLEANER COVER 8.2.3) Take out the air cleaner element, and clean it with non- flammable or high flash point solvent, then dry it. 8.2.4) Soak the air cleaner element in the clean engine oil, and squeeze out the redundant oil.

8.3.1) Remove the spark plug maintenance cover SPARK PLUG 8.3.2) Take off the spark plug cap 8.3.3) Clean the carbon deposition at the bottom of the spark plug. 8.3.4) Take off the spark plug with the spark plug spanner. 8.3.5) Visual inspection the spark plug. Change a new one if its insulator cracked or chipped.
8.3.6) Measure the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge. The normal value:0.6-0.7mm(0.024-0.028in). Adjust the gap by bend one of the electrode carefully. 8.3.7) Reinstall the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading. A new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn with a spanner.

8.4.2)Take off the spark arrester from the muffle after the engine cool down. 8.4.3)Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester . If the spark arrester is wear, replace it. 8.4.4)Reinstall the spark arrester and muffle guard.
9.TRANSPORTING/STORING Avoid fuel spilling during transporting or temporary storing, both the engine switch and the fuel cap vent lever should turn to “OFF” position, and the generator should place in normal operating position. WARNING! Transporting Generator: Do not overfill the fuel tank. (No residual fuel on the neck of tank) Do not use the generator on the transport vehicle.

9.3) Change the engine oil. 9.4) Remove the spark plug, and pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil(10~20ml)into the cylinder. Revolve the engine several times to distribute the oil,and reinstall the spark plug. 9.5) Pull the starter grip slowly until feel resistance. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
10.TROUBLESHOOTING If the engine does not start: Is there fuel in the tank? Add fuel. Turn the fuel switch to OPEN. Is the fuel switch OPEN? Turn the power switch to RUN. Is the power switch in RUN? Is there enough oil in the engine? Add the recommended oil.
