PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
Using this Generator for the First-Time
STOP!
The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these
steps can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this
section, call 1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.
If this generator is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:
Step 1 - Add Oil
THIS GENERATOR REQUIRES AT LEAST 33.8 OUNCES OF OIL (SAE10W-30) TO RUN.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING. THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW. START WITH 33.8 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST
OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING: IF THE GENERATOR WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS
COMPLETELY FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
This generator requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. When new
from the package, this generator contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add oil before operating this generator for the first time. When
replenishing oil for subsequent use of this generator, always determine that this generator has the correct quantity of oil.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the (Figure 1).
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general
use. When the engine crankcase is full and almost overflowing, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap.
Figure 2 - Add Oil
Figure 1 – Figure 1
Oil Dipstick Cap
Item # GEN85KIDF Portable Dual Fuel Invertor Generator

Step 2 - Add Gasoline or Connect Propane Tank
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental
damage.
To add gasoline:
To ensure that this generator runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system.
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit
line. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4. Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.

IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline.
• Never use old and/or contaminated gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.
• Gasoline can age in the fuel tank and make it difficult to start this generator. Never store this generator for extended time with gasoline in the
fuel tank.
To connect propane:
If using LPG, first connect the regulator that was included with the generator to
the Propane Fuel Tank, then connect the other end to the Gas Inlet. Make sure
the LPG cylinder is vertical and securely positioned.

Step 3 - Ground the Generator
Failure to properly ground this generator can result in electrocution.
Ground this generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire as illustrated in Figure 3. A No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire is generally an acceptable grounding wire. The other end of this grounding wire should be connected to a copper or brass
grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for information on grounding regulations for your area.
Subsequent Use of this Generator
For subsequent uses of this generator after the first use, certain steps still must be completed to prepare it for operation.
IMPORTANT: Be familiar with the procedures described in the previous section titled “Using the Generator for the First Time” of this
manual. If not, review this section now.
Step 1 - Verify Oil Level
It is important to check the oil level in the engine crankcase before each use to ensure that there is sufficient quantity.
1. Verify that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.
4. Fully insert the dipstick without screwing the filler/dipstick cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on
the dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled. (See “Changing/Adding Oil” in the
“Maintenance/Care” section of this manual).
5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly screwed in place when finished verifying the oil level.
Step 2 - Verify Gas Level If Using Gasoline Fuel

USING THE GENERATOR
• USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN OR ROPE, AS
THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator.
After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator.
AC Usage
Electrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements.
Rated (Running) Wattage
7000
Surge Wattage
8750
* SURGE WATTS / RUNNING WATTS MAY BE REDUCED BY 10%
WHEN USING PROPANE FUEL VS USING GASOLINE.
The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage a generator can output on a continuous basis.
The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time. Many electrical devices, such as a
refrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc., in addition to their listed rated wattage. Motorized
devices typically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power
requirement.
The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to a generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator
itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices to be connected, look up the rated (running) wattage of each device and
add these numbers together to find the total wattage that all of the devices together will draw from the generator. If the total wattage of the
selected devices exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all of the devices. Select a combination of the electrical devices
that will have a total wattage less than or equal to the rated wattage for the generator.
This generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage
equal to or less than the rated wattage of this generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of a
generator.
A device's rated (running) wattage should be listed somewhere on the device itself and/or in its manual. If the wattage specification for a device is
not available, the wattage can be calculated by multiplying the Voltage requirement (120) by the Amperage drawn.
Watts = Volts x Amperes
Or, the wattage required by a device can be estimated by using the following chart. The chart provides only estimates and it is better to know the
exact wattage of each electrical device to be powered by this generator.
NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet.
Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz
loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 12 Volt, DC
loads to the 12 Volt outlet.

Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of 8750, do not attempt to draw more than 7000 Watts from the 120 Volt outlet.
Draws higher than 7000 Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlet or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12
Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.
DC Usage
• The DC outlet is for charging 12 Volt battery, up to 8 Amps.
• NEVER attempt to jumpstart a car with this generator.
Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved in an emergency.
To Plug Items Into the Generator
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
3. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
To Plug Items Into the USB
The generator offers convenient (5V DC 2.0 A) USB outlet to allow charging of USB devices like tablets, MP3 players, GPS, digital cameras and
other USB chargeable devices. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started before plugging in a USB cable for charging.
Engine Overload Indicator Light
If the engine overload indicator light comes on, the generator s wattage / amperage capacity has been exceeded by connected electrical devices
or by a power surge. When this occurs, the green AC Pilot Indicator Light will go off. The engine will continue to run, (but the red Engine
Overload Indicator Light will stay on and power will no longer be supplied to connected electronic devices.
AC Pilot Indicator Light
The green AC Pilot Indicator Light comes on when the engine starts and generates power.
DC Circuit Breaker
When the DC Circuit Breaker is in the “ON” position, the generator is able to supply power to connected electronic devices. When the DC Circuit
Breaker is in the “OFF” position, the generator will no longer supply power. The DC Circuit Breaker automatically turns “OFF” when connecting
electronic devices to the generator that exceed the generator’s rated output. If the DC Circuit Breaker turns off, reduce the load of connected
electronic devices until the load is within the specified rated output. To re-establish power, return the DC Circuit Breaker back to the “ON” position
Smart Throttle Control Switch
When the Smart Throttle Control switch is turned to the “ON” position, the economy control unit automatically determines the generator’s proper
engine speed based on the connected electronic load. This results in superior fuel economy and reduces noise. When the Smart Throttle switch
is turned to the “OFF” position, the engine runs at the rated speed of 3,600 r/min. Note: The Smart Throttle switch must be turned to the “OFF”
position when using electronic devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor.

INVERTER GENERATOR WITH SINE WAVE
This inverter generator eliminates power fluctuations like the ones you see in standard generators. It offers stable, consistent power.
Power from inverter generators is ultra-clean, and comes in a form that is useful for sensitive electronic equipment. It is clean enough to run
even the most sensitive electronic equipment.
Inverter generators can reduce fuel consumption, and they are often quieter than a traditional generator.
ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
You can avoid small engine problems if you follow the break-in procedure below. Because the pistons and rings wear into the engine’s walls,
small pieces of metal can flake off into the oil. It’s important to flush these pieces out of your generator by frequently changing the oil. Maintain at
least a 50-75 percent load on your generator for the first 20 hours (Do not operate the engine at full load during the first 20 hours of operation.)
Varying the load will help seat the rings.
1. Allow the engine to run for 5 minutes before adding any load.
2. Change the break-in oil within the first 5 hours of use
3. Do not operate the engine at full load during the first 20 hours of operation.
4. Read and follow the Maintenance/Care section of this Generator manual.

To check the oil level:
1. Verify that this generator is shut down and on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if replacing the cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on the dipstick, or oil is
visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled.
5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly in place when finished verifying the oil level.
Changing/Adding Oil
The oil level in this generator should be checked before each use. When the oil level is low, add oil until the level is sufficient to operate this
generator. (See Figure 8B)
The break-in oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation, then the oil should be changed following the first 20 hours of operation.
Subsequently, the oil should be changed every 6 months, or for every 100 hours of use, or when the oil has become contaminated with water
and/or dirt.
To drain the oil from this generator:
1. Place a bucket underneath this generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Unscrew the oil drain plug located on the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap using 17 mm hex wrench. Figure 8A
3. Allow all the oil to drain from this generator.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten using 17 mm hex wrench.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash, down a drain or on the ground. Put oil in a sealed container and contact your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
THIS GENERATOR REQUIRES AT LEAST 33.8 OUNCES OF OIL (SAE10W-30) TO RUN.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING. THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW. START WITH 33.8 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST
OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING: IF THE GENERATOR WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS
COMPLETELY FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

emissions control system warranty on your 2019 model year small off-road engine. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Buffalo Corp. must warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine for the periods of
time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the failure of the emissions
control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid
fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Buffalo Corp. will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your small off-road engine is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your small off-road
engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Buffalo Corp.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibility
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Buffalo Corp. recommends that
you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Buffalo Corp. cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that Buffalo Corp. may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the periods.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in your owner’s manual is warranted for the warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in your owner’s manual is warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled
replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by Buffalo Corp. according to Subsection (4)
