  • Page 10: Serial Number And Identification Location

    Serial number and identification location The engine serial number identifies your particular unit and is important when ordering parts and accessories. Engine serial number:158FYYMMDD0001 The serial number can be found engraved on the crankcase beside the oil filter cap. It is visible when the left maintenance cover is removed.

  • Page 11: Pre-Operation Check

    4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the oil level before each use with the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1. Check the engine oil level. Using non detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life. Use high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S.
  • Page 12 The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level regularly. 2. Check the fuel level. This engine is certified to operate on the regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of...
  • Page 13 Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may ignite, if any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour, KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

  • Page 14: Starting The Engine

    5. STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting the engine, disconnect any loads from the AC and DC terminals. 1. Turn the fuel cap vent lever fully clockwise to the “I” position. 2. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. 3. Move the choke lever to the START position.
  • Page 15 To restart a warm engine, leave the choke in the RUN position. Do not move the choke to the START position when the engine is warm or the air temperature is high. 4. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine, return it gently to prevent damage to the starter or housing.

  • Page 16: High Altitude Operation

    6. If you wish to use the Intelligent Throttle system, turn the Intelligent Throttle switch to the ON position after the engine has warmed up for 2-3 minutes. High altitude operation At high altitude, the standard carburettor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

    6. GENERATOR USE To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the generator's ground generator's ground grounded.
  • Page 18 The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both at the same time; be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC. Most appliance motors require more than their rated watt-age for start-up. AC applications 1.

  • Page 19: Output And Overload Indicators

    Output and Overload Indicators The output indicator light (green) will remain ON during normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2.0kVA), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go OFF, the overload indicator light (red) will go ON and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
  • Page 20 1. Connect the ground terminal. 2. Start each engine according to "STARTING THE ENGINE". When the output indicator light (green) does not light and the overload indicator light (red) lights instead, set the engine switch to STOP, stop the engine at once and then start the engine again. 3.
  • Page 21 4. Switch on the equipment to be used. In case of overload operation or when trouble occurs for the equipment being used, the output indicator light (green) will go out, the overload indicator light (red) will light continuously, and no power will be put out.
