ASSEMBLY
• Parts needed - Support leg & M8 screw (2) and 2 nuts.
Raise the front end of the generator high enough to gain access to the bottom of the frame. Securely position props
underneath to support.
•
• Line up holes on the support leg bracket to the holes on the front of the generator frame.
• Attach the support leg using M8 screws (2) and nuts.
Installing Support Leg (See fig 2)
• Parts needed - 2 wheels, 2 axles, 2 hair pins, and 2 washers.
• Raise or tilt generator so you can slide the wheel axle pin into the wheel, the washer, the wheel mounting hole located
on the side of the frame.
• Secure the wheel assembly by reinserting a hair pin through hole at the end of the wheel axle and pressing until it locks
into place.
• Repeat process on the other side of the generator to install the second wheel.

Wattage Reference Guide
(Wattageslistedarejustapproximations.Checkelectronicdeviceforactualwattage)
Operatingvoltageandfrequencyrequirementofallelectronicequipmentshouldbecheckedpriortopluggingthemintothis

pluggedintothegeneratorifsolidstateequipment(suchastelevisionset)isused.Apowerlineconditionerisrecommended
forsomesolidstateapplications.
1. Addupthetotalratedwattageofallelectronicdevicesthatwillbeconnectedtothegeneratorsimultaneously.
2. Estimatesurgewattsbyaddingtheitem(s)withthehighestoutput(itisunnecessarytocalculatethesurgeoutputforall
devicesastheyshouldbeconnectedoneatatime).
3. AddtheSurgeWattstothetotalRatedWattsinstep1.Keeptotalloadwithingenerator’spowercapacity.

Hour Meter (See Fig 19)
Use this meter along with the manual to determine when and what type of service on the unit is needed. The display will
show the word “LUBE” at the first 25 hours of operation and again at every 100 hours of operation after.
Power Management
Start engine without anything connected to generator.
When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
output first and the smallest output last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.

Charging a 12 Volt Battery (See Fig 20)
This generator can be used to charge a 12 volt automotive or storage battery by taking the following steps:
Inspect fluid level of the battery cells.
Add ONLY distilled water to any cell where fluid level is low. Never add tap water.
Use a wire brush to clean battery terminals if corroded.
Connect the Battery Charging Cable Connection Plug to the 12 Volt D.C. Receptacle.
Connect the red cable clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect the black cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Start generator engine. Let engine run while battery charges.
Battery is considered fully charged when the gravity of its fluid is 1.260 or higher when measured by a hydrometer. It is
strongly recommended to use a hydrometer to test for battery charge and condition. Be careful to follow the hydrometer
manufacturer’s instruction.

Cold Weather Operation
Under humid conditions where temperatures drop to 40ºF (4ºC) the carburetor and/or crankcase breather system may begin
to freeze. To prevent icing take the following steps:
1. Replace any old fuel with clean, fresh fuel.
2. Use synthetic 5W-30 or SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Check oil daily or after every 8 hours of use.
3. Turn fuel valve to the open position.
4. Ensure generator is serviced according to the maintenance schedule under “Maintenance” section of manual.
5. Shelter unit from elements.

Regularmaintenancewillextendthelifeofthisgeneratorandimproveitsperformance.Thewarrantydoesnotcoveritems
thatresultfromoperatornegligence,misuse,orabuse.Toreceivefullvaluefromthewarranty,operatormustmaintainthe
generatorasinstructedinthismanual,includingproperstorage.
Before inspecting or servicing this machine, make sure the engine is off and no parts are
moving. Disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug.
Pre-Operation Steps
Beforestartingtheengine,performthefollowingpre-operationsteps:
• Checktheleveloftheengineoilandthefueltanklevel.
Makesuretheairfilterisclean.
Removeanydebristhathascollectedonthegeneratorandaroundthemufflerandcontrols.Useavacuumcleanerto
pickuploosedebris.Ifdirtiscakedon,useasoftbristlebrush.
•
•
• Inspecttheworkareaforhazards.
After Each Use
Followthefollowingprocedureaftereachuse:
• Shutoffengine.)
• Storeunitinacleananddryarea.
WARNING!
After First 5 Hours ChangeOil
After 8 Hours or Daily CleanDebris

Creating a Temporary Cold Weather Shelter
Inanemergency,theoriginalshippingcartoncanbeusedasatemporaryshelter.Thesheltershouldholdenoughheat
createdbythegeneratortopreventicing.

•
Changing Oil (See Fig 21)
• Placegeneratoronalevelsurface.
• RuntheGeneratoruntiltheEngineiswarm.
• Removethecrankcasedipstick.
• Placeanoilpanunderneaththeoildrainagebolttocollectusedoil.
• Removetheoildrainageplugandallowoiltodraincompletely.
• Reinstalloildrainageplug,tightensecurely.
Donotusespecialadditives.
Outdoortemperaturesdeterminetheproperoilviscosityfortheengine.Usethecharttoselectthebestviscosityforthe
outdoortemperaturerangeexpected.
•
CarefullyaddSAE10W-30toemptyreservoiruntiltheoilreachesthe
outeredgeoftheoilfillhole(CrankcaseDipstickhole).

Checking Spark Plug (See Fig 23)
• Disconnectthesparkplugwirefromthesparkplug.
• Beforeremovingthesparkplug,cleantheareaarounditsbasetopreventdebrisfromenteringtheengine.
• Cleancarbondepositsofftheelectrodewithawirebrush.
• Checktheelectrodegapandslowlyadjustto.700mm-.80mm(.028-.031")ifnecessary.
• ReinstallsparkplugandtightentoTorque22.0–26.9Nm(16-20ft-lb).
• Reconnectsparkplugwire.
• Ifsparkplugiswornreplaceonlywithanequivalentreplacementpart.Sparkplugshouldbereplacedannually.
(BOSCHF7TC,NGKBP6ES,CHAMPIONN9YCorEquivalent)
Toclean,removetheairfiltercover.
Carefullypulltheairfilteroutbyliftingupalongtheedges.
Removedirtfromfilterbytappingonitorhavingitblownout.Replacewithnewfilterannually.
Reinstallairfiltersothatitsealsandreplaceairfiltercover.

Draining Fuel Tank and Carburetor
Tohelppreventgumdepositsinthefuelsystem,drainthefuelfromthetankandcarburetorbeforestoringtheunitfor
longperiodsoftime.Thiswillhelppreventstartingproblemsinthefuture.Iftheunitisstoredwithfuelandthefuel
becomesstaleorturnsgummyortovarnishthewarrantydoesnotcoverthisrepairorservice.
Draining the fuel tank
• TurntheengineOFF.
• TurnthefuelvalvetotheOFFposition.
• Whenthefuelhasdrainedfromthetank,closethefuelvalveandreinstallfuellinesecurelyonpetcock.
• Removethefuellinethatleadstothecarburetorfromthepetcockbysqueezingtheendsofthehoseclampsand
slidingthefuellineoff.
• Ifneeded,installafuelhosethatwillextendtoasuitablefuelcontainerlargeenoughtocatchthefuelbeingdrained
fromthetank.
•
TurnthefuelvalvetotheONposition.
Athighaltitude,thestandardcarburetorair/fuelmixturewillbetoorich.Performancewilldecrease,andfuelconsumption
willincrease.Averyrichmixturewillalsofoulthesparkplugandcausehardstarting.Operationatanaltitudethatdiffers
fromthatatwhichthisenginewascertified,forextendedperiodsoftime,mayincreaseemissions.Highaltitude
performancecanbeimprovedbyspecific
modificationstothecarburetor.Ifyoualwaysoperateyourgeneratorataltitudesabove5,000feet
(1,500meters),haveyourdealerperformthiscarburetormodification.Thisengine,whenoperatedathighaltitudewiththe
