  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Our generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to these instructions. Read and understand the owner's manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
  • Page 8 To ensure safe operation: Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep away from smoking materials, sparks and other sources of combustion when refueling the generator. Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.

    2.3 Serial Number Location The engine serial number is stamped on the engine block to the left of the oil drain plug. In most cases the battery will have to be removed to view it clearly. Refer to this number when ordering parts or making technical inquiries.

  • Page 12: Pre-Operation Check

    3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. Under no circumstances can this generator be installed in an enclosed compartment. 3.1 Engine Oil Level Using non-detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life.

  • Page 13: Fuel

    Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage. The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below a safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level regularly.

    5. GENERATOR USE 5.1 Warnings and Cautions To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy cable between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source. Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

    Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction. 5.5 Output and Overload Indicators The green output indicator light will remain on during normal operating conditions.

  • Page 23: Smart Throttle

    Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. . When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light and the output indicator light may go on simultaneously. This is normal if the overload indicator light goes off after about four seconds.

  • Page 24: Air Conditioner Operation

    5.7 Air Conditioner Operation For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the off position. Bring the generator to a normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required under unusually hot weather conditions.
