GENERAL SAFETY RULES
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply
enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which
can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if it isn’t directly in contact with gasoline.
Do not operate near open flame.
Do not smoke near generator.
Always operate on a firm, level surface.
Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank.
Allow for expansion.
Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Generating set ground” portion of the
“GENERATOR PREPARATION” section).
Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with an extension cord.
NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a qualified electrician. Such connections must
comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result
in serious injury or death to utility workers.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or
steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.
Do not use in rainy conditions.

When refueling, keep away from the open fire.
If there is oil spill while refueling, wipe the spilled gasoline immediately.
Explosion and Fire. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill to 1/2 inch from top of tank to allow for fuel
expansion. Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine causing fire or explosion, which will result in
death or serious injury!
Using should be prohibited in places with high fire risk.
Do not connect the generator to the power system, or it may cause people to die from electric shock
when they come into contact with the wire; damage the generator or damage the home appliance.
A pre-operation check must be performed before starting the engine to avoid accidents or equipment
damage.
Generators must operate at least one meter away from the building and other equipment.
Please put the generator on the horizontal ground. If the generator is tilted, it may cause gasoline
overflow.
Be sure to master how to quickly shut off generators and understand the operation of all control
components.
Children and pets must stay away from the operating area. While the engine is running, all personnel
must be away from its rotating parts.
If the operation is not proper, there is a potential danger to the generator. Do not operate the generator
with a wet hand.
Do not operate in the rain, snow, lest wet generator.
Maintenance of generators to be operated by professionals.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as
well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged items
repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or
cracked insulation.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing backup power
to the home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in
overheating or stressing of the components, possibly leading to a generator failure.

damaged. DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT handle generating set or electrical cords
while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
Loading Capacity
WARNING: Do not overload the generating set.
Exceeding the generating set’s capacity can
damage the generating set and/or electric devices
connected to it.
You must make sure your generating set can supply
enough rated (running) and (starting) watts for the
electrical devices at the same time. Follow these simple
steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary
for your purposes.
1. Count the electrical devices you will power at the same
time.
2. The amount of power you need to run with the devices
is the total rated (running) watts of these items.
3. Starting power is the power needed shortly when
electric devices start. Since not all devices start at the
same time, starting power can be estimated by the
maximum power of all devices plus the total power
counted in step 2.
WARNING: It is necessary to equip with circuit protector or switch to isolate the generating set
from the electric utility when the generating set is mainly used for backup. Failure to isolate the
generating set from the power utility may result in injury or death to electric utility workers and damage to
the generating set due to back feed of electrical energy.
When using AC power, you can use DC power at the same time. If using both AC and DC output sockets,
note that the total power does not exceed the sum of AC and DC power.
DC application
The output voltage of DC socket is 15-20 V, for 12V DC load only.
When AC power is used, DC power supply can be used.
Overload of DC may make DC over protector act. Firstly, remove the DC load, wait for a few minutes,
and then reset the button of DC protector.
AC application
1. Start the engine, make sure the AC output light (green) is on.
2. Turn off the power supply switch and plug the device into the generator's output socket.
NOTE: In order to obtain the best operation effect and the maximum service life of the generator, the new
