SAFETY INFORMATION
1) EXHAUST FUMES ARE POISONOUS
 Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause unconsciousness and can cause death within a short
period of time. Operate the engine in a well ventilated area.
2) FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
 Always turn off the engine when refueling
 Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
 Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muffler when refueling.
 If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow any to get in your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any fuel
spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothes.
 When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or
fuel tank.
3) ENGINE AND MUFFLER MAY BE HOT
 Place the generator in a place where passers-by or children are not likely to touch the generator.
 Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet during operation.
 Keep the generator at least 3 feet from buildings and other equipment, or the engine may overheat.
 Avoid operating the engine with a dust cover.
 Be sure to carry the generator only by its carrying handle.
 Put the generator on the flat ground, allowing the generator to vent heat freely.
4) ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION
 Never operate the engine in rain or snow.
 Never touch the generator with wet hands or electrical shock will occur.
 Be sure to ground (earth) the generator.FIG.1
NOTE: FIG.1
Use ground (earth) lead of sufficient current capacity.
Diameter: 0.12mm (0.005 in)/ampere
EX: 10 Ampere --1.2mm (0.055 in)- Use 8 AWG

(b) Turn off the switch(s) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to FIG.23
the generator.
(c) Insert the pulg(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle.FIG.23
CAUTION:
 Be sure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in.
 Be sure the total load is within generator rated output.
 Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.
 The economy control switch must be turned to “OFF” when using electric FIG.24 ECON.SW

OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected
electrical device is detected, the inverter unit overheats, or the AC output FIG.25
OVERLOAD
voltage rises. The electronic breaker will then activate, stopping power to the
generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices.
The output pilot light (green) will flicker and the overload indicator light (red) will
turn on, then the engine will stop running. If so please follow the following steps:
FIG.25
(a) Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine
(b) Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices to within the generator’s rated output.
(c) Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
(d) After checking, restart the engine.
CAUTION:
 The generator AC output automatically resets when the engine is stopped and then restarted.
 The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large
starting current, such as a compressor or a submergible pump. This is not a malfunction.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap, drain the fuel from the fuel tank
2. Remove the cover, drain fuel from the carburetor by loosening the drain screw.
ENGINE
1. Remove the spark plug, pour in about one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil into the spark plug hole
and reinstall the spark plug.
2. Use the recoil starter to turn the engine over several times (with ignition off).
3. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
4. Stop pulling.
5. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.
6. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with the cover placed over it.
