Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas. Never use indoors.
Read all instructions, use protective gear, keep bystanders away, do not operate when tired or under influence.
Consult electrician for grounding/wiring. Do not connect to building system without qualified installation.
Operate outdoors, ensure ventilation, use CO detector, handle fuel safely, and follow shutdown procedures.
Clean product exterior, vents, and air filter elements. Do not run without air filter.
Change engine lubricant, service spark plug, and drain fuel tank/carburetor for storage.
No smoking, do not overfill, fill 25mm below neck. Stop engine 5 min before refueling. Use E10 or less ethanol.
Add oil before first use. Check level before each operation. Use SAE 10W-30 oil.
Avoid hot muffler/cylinder. Keep 1m clearance. Allow 30 min cool down before storage.
Never remove fuel cap when running. Shut off engine and cool down before removing cap.
Select items, sum continuous watts, estimate surge watts. Total output required is sum of continuous and surge watts.
Start generator with no load. Add loads sequentially, stabilizing between each.
Remove generator from box, inspect for damage. Get help to lift as generator is heavy.
Install wheels on side opposite recoil starter using axles, washers, and hitch pins.
Attach legs to frame crossbar using screws and lock nuts. Ensure secure mounting.
Operate outdoors, position on flat surface, check oil and fuel levels, and follow starting procedures.
Check oil level before each operation. Use SAE 10W-30 oil. Non-detergent/2-stroke oil will damage engine.
Handle gasoline carefully. Fill outdoors with engine off. Fill to 25mm below neck. Use unleaded gasoline (E10 or less).
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel. Only E10 or less ethanol gasoline is acceptable. Damages product and voids warranty.
Unplug loads, switch breakers off, start engine, switch breakers on, plug in appliance. Stabilize generator.
Check oil, turn fuel valve ON, move choke to START, turn engine switch ON, pull starter grip. Allow engine to run 30s, move choke to RUN.
Remove load, turn engine switch OFF, turn fuel valve OFF.
In emergency, put engine switch in OFF (O) position.
Ensure generator capacity is sufficient. Start generator with no load. Add loads sequentially, stabilizing between each.
Remove load, turn switch OFF, close fuel valve, ensure engine is cool. Unfold handle, lift carefully onto wheels.
Check gap, clean or replace spark plug. Ensure proper tightening to avoid engine damage.
Drain fuel from tank and carburetor before storage to prevent gum deposits. Dispose fuel properly.
Check engine switch, fuel, oil level, fuel valve, and spark plug. Ensure choke is set correctly.
Check air filter element. Refuel with fresh unleaded fuel if engine was stored without treatment.
Check circuit breaker and item plugged in. Try a different item or fuel brand if problem persists.
Occasional light noise under heavy load is normal. Persistent noise may indicate fuel brand issue.
