1. SAFETY
The generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated
according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating
your generator. You can help prevent accidents by being familiar with your
generator’s controls, and by observing safe operating procedures.

Operator Responsibility

● Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.

● Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles and
connections.
● Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do
not let children operate the generator without parental supervision. Keep children
and pets away from the area of operation.
● Place the generator on a firm, level surface and avoid loose sand or snow. If the
generator is tilted or overturned, fuel spillage may result. Also, if the generator is
overturned or sinks into a soft surface, sand, dirt, or water may enter the
generator.

Carbon Monoxide Hazards

● Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide. A colourless and odorless gas.

Breathing exhaust fumes can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to
death.
● If you run the generator in an area that is confined or partially enclosed, the air
you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep
exhaust. Gas from building up provide adequate ventilation.

Electric Shock Hazards

● The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or
electrocution if misused.
● Using a generator electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or
near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet: could result in
electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
● If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all
electrical components on the control panel before each use. Moisture or ice can
cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components which could result in
electrocution.
● Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless an isolation switch has
been installed by a qualified electrician.
 2

Fire and Burn Hazards

● The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.

—Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other
equipment during operation.
—Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
—Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
● The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after
stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the generator indoors-.
● Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where petrol
is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
● Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has
started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
generator.

3. CONTROLS

1) Engine Switch
To start and stop the engine.
Switch position:
OFF: To Stop the engine. Key can be removed/inserted.
ON: To run the engine after starting.
START: To start the engine by turning the starter motor.

Return the key to the ON position once the engine has started. Do not use the
starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, release the
switch and wait 10 seconds before operating the starter again.

2) Recoil Starter

To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.

Do not allow the starter to snap back against the engine.

NOTICE Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.

3) Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the valve lever
is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be
sure to return the lever to OFF after stopping the engine.
 5

4) Choke

The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold
engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the chock lever or choke rod
manually. Move the lever or the rod to the CLOSE position to enrich the
mixture.

5) Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a
significant overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is
switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and
does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before switching the
circuit breaker ON again, The circuit breaker may be used to switch the
generator power ON or OFF,
 6

6) Ground Terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal
non-current carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each
receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply
to the intended use of the generator.

7) 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 can fall below a
safe limit the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine
switch will remain in the ON position). The oil alert system shuts down the engine
and the engine will not start. If this occurs, first check engine oil.

4. GENERATOR USE

1) Connections to a Building’s Electrical System

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a

qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility
power and must com ply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Improper connections to a building’s electrical system,

△ ,!
can allow electrical current from the generator to feedback
WARNING
into the utility lines, such feedback may electrocute utility
company workers or others who contact the lines during a
power outage. Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician.

△,! CAUTION
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system
can allow electrical current from the utility company to
feedback into the generator. When utility power is
restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires in the building’s electrical system.
 7

2) Ground System

To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded.
Connect a length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source.
The generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to
the ground terminals, in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not
connected to the AC neutral wire. If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it
will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle.

Special Requirements

There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use
of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency having jurisdiction.
● In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility
companies.
● If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations
which must be observed

2) AC Applications

Before connecting an appliance or power to the generator:

● Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can
create a potential for electrical shock.
● If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops
suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether
the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been
exceeded.
● Make sure that the electrical, rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that
of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power
levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
 8

Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker.

NOTICE
Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or
slightly overloading the generator may not switch the- circuit breaker OFF, but
will shorten the service life of the generator.

Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.

For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power

In either case the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be
considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information
near the model number or serial number.

4) AC Operation

①. Start the engine

②. Switch the AC circuit breaker ON

③. Plug in the appliance

Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup.

Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded
circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the
circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the circuit breaker.
5) DC OPERATION

DC Terminals

The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify
the negative (-) terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC
terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red terminal and
battery negative id the generator black terminal).
 9

With DC Circuit Protector With DC Fuse

DC circuit protector (or DC Fuse)

The DC circuit protector (or DC Fuse) automatically shuts off the DC battery charging
circuit when the DC circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the
battery, or the connections between the battery and the generator are improper.

The indicator inside the DC circuit protector button will pop out to show that the DC
circuit: protector has switched off. Wait a few minutes and push the button in Io reset
the DC circuit protector.

Connecting the battery cables:

①. Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle

Disconnect the vehicle’s grounded battery cable.

△ ,!
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep both flames and
WARNING
cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging batteries.

②. Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the battery positive (+) terminal.

③. Connect the other end of the positive (+) battery cable to the generator

④. Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the battery negative (-) terminal.

⑤. Connect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable to the generator

⑥. Start the generator.

 10

Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cables

NOTICE are connected and the generator is running. The vehicle or
the generator may be damaged.

An overloaded DC circuit will fuse the DC fuse, if this happens, replace fuse.
An overloaded DC, excessive current draw by the battery, or a wiring problem
will trip the DC circuit protector (PUSH button extends out). If this happens, wait a
few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation. If the circuit
protector continues to go OFF, discontinue and see your authorized generator dealer.

Disconnecting the battery cables:

1. Stop the engine,

2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the generator negative (-)
terminal.

3. Disconnect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable from the battery
negative (-) terminal.

4. Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable from the generator positive (+)
terminal,

5. Disconnect the other end of the positive (+ ) battery cable to the battery
positive(+) terminal.

6. Connect the vehicle ground cable Io battery negative (-) terminal.

7. Reconnect the vehicle grounded battery cable.

6) High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel
jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw, If you always operate the engine
at attitudes higher than 5000 feel (1500 meters) above sea level, have an authorized
repair agent perform this carburetor modification.

Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 1000 foot (300 meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
 11

NOTICE If an engine jetted for high altitude is used at a lower altitude,

the lean air fuel mixture will reduce performance and may
overheat and seriously damage the engine,

5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK

1) Engine oil

Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance

NOTICE and service life. Non detergent and 2-stroke engine oils
will damage the engine and are not recommended.

Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE SAE

with the generator on a level surface with
the engine stopped.

TEMP

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

Use 4-stroke oil, or equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to
meet or exceed automobile requirements .Cot Service Classification SG. SF/CC. CD.
Motor oils classified SG SF/CC, CD will show this designation on the container.

SAE 10W 3D is recommended for general temperature use. Other viscosities shown
in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the
indicated range.

1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it
in
3. If the level is low, add the recommended oil to the upper mark on the dipstick.
 12

2) Fuel Recommendation
● Check the fuel level gauge.
● Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the
fuel strainer. Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do
not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
● Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After
refueling make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be
careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor 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 vapor.
● KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
 13

Use petrol with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated petrol or oil/petrol mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear light 'spark knock” or "pinging" (metallic rapping noise)
while operating under heavy loads. There is no cause for concern if spark knock or
pinging occurs at a steady engine speed. Under normal load, change brands of
petrol. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized generator dealer.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging car

NOTICE cause engine damage.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the
Distributor's Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse

Oxygenated Fuels

Some petrol blends with alcohol or an ether compound to increase the octane are
collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. These fuels help to meet clean air
standards. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure its pump octane rating is 86 or
higher.

Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol)

Petrol containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting or
performance problems.

Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol)

Petrol containing methanol must contain solvents and corrosion inhibitors to

protect the fuel system. Petrol containing more than 5¾ methanol by volume may
cause starting and/or performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and
plastic parts of your fuel system.
 14

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)

You MAY use petrol containing up to 15% MTBE by Volume.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel's contents. If you notice any
undesirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional unleaded petrol. Fuel
system damage or performance problems resulting from the USE Of an oxygenated
fuel are not covered under the warranty.

Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful

NOTICE not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused
by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
