OIL AND GASOLINE
2A. Add Engine Oil
Low Oil Shutdown
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend using SAE 10W-30 API SL or
higher oil for best performance. Do not use special
additives. Ambient temperature determines the
proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to
select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature
range expected.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to crank or start the
engine before it has been properly lled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
due to operation with no oil will void your warranty.
1. Place generator on a at, level surface.
2. Loosen the cover screw and remove the
maintenance cover.
3. Clean area around oil ll and remove yellow oil
ll cap/dipstick.
4. Wipe dipstick clean.
5. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil ll opening until oil
reaches upper limit "H" mark on the dipstick.
Be careful not to overll. Overlling could cause
engine starting problems or engine damage.
6. Replace oil ll cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
7. Reinstall maintenance cover and tighten screws.
8. Oil level should be checked prior to each use or
at least every 8 hours of operation.
Keep oil level maintained.
The portable generator is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level drops below the minimum
required level, a sensor will activate an internal switch stopping the engine. If the engine shuts o󰀨
and the oil level is within specications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle. Place portable
generator on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be high
enough to deactivate the internal low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil to
the upper limit (H). Do not operate engine until oil level issue is corrected. Contact FIRMAN customer
service.

may be a decrease in power. Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors
as ambient temperature, altitude, engine conditions etc.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting LPG/ NG Fuel
WARNING! Liquid Petroleum gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG) are extremely
ammable which could cause burns or re resulting in death or serious injury.
● The fuel supply line must always be shut o󰀨 when the engine is not running. Failure to shut
o󰀨 fuel may allow fuel to leak at the generator.
● Do not place the LPG/NG sources in the path of mu󰀪er outlet or near any ignition source.
● Keep a re extinguisher near the generator all the time.
● Do not use or store LPG/NG portable sources not in use near generator or in a building, garage
or enclosed area.
● All LPG/NG supply/ piping lines must be installed by a qualied plumber.
● If you smell gas, close o󰀨 all gas sources and contact a qualied plumber to inspect and
repair the LPG or NG system.
● Prior to each days rst use spray a soapy water solution on LPG/NG fuel connections to check
for leaks.
● Never use a gas container, LPG/ NG connector hose, LPG cylinder or NG source that appears
to be damaged.
● Do not connect or disconnect the LPG/ NG source in an enclosed area.
● LPG is heavier than air and can accumulate in conned / low spaces if there is a leak.
NOTICE
If a fuel supply connection is necessary it must be installed in accordance with all local
codes or regulations, or in the absence of local codes or regulations, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1) and CSA B149.1 (Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code), as applicable. If possible the fuel supply connection should be close to the
outdoor operating location. This will reduce the cost of the exible fuel run. An approved exible
fuel line must be installed between the generator LPG/NG Hose Connector (Inlet) and the fuel
supply connection. In no case should this information be interpreted to conict with any local,
state, or national code. If in doubt, always follow local codes.

● Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
● Use only DOT LPG cylinders in vapor service with type 1, right hand ACME threads. Verify the
re-qualication date on the cylinder has not expired.
● All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to lling. The purging process should be
done by your propane gas supplier.
Attach the LPG regulator hose assembly (included) to the LPG hose connector (inlet) on the control
panel of the generator. Tighten the nut with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench. Remove the safety plug
or cap from the LPG cylinder valve. Attach the LPG regulator to the cylinder valve. Do not use a
wrench to tighten LPG cylinder nut. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a positive stop. Using a
wrench may damage LPG cylinder components.
Connect the locally approved exible fuel supply line (not included) to the LPG/NG connector (inlet)
on the control panel and the fuel Source. We recommend you use FIRMAN 25 ft Quick Connect Hose
Kit (Model 1815) or 10 ft Quick Connect Hose Kit (Model 1805) for Natural Gas (NG) connection (This
item is not included). Hose requirements may vary in di󰀨erent regions depending on local codes.
Contact your local licensed plumber to ensure complete compliance with all codes. Make sure the
NG source location and hose used allows the portable generator to be located at least 20 ft from any
occupied spaces.

NOTICE
Observing frost on LPG cylinder and regulator is common during operation and normally
is not an indication of a problem. In unusual situations this frost may eventually restrict the ow of LPG
gas to the generator resulting in deteriorating performance. In these rare situations it can be helpful to:
● Exchange fuel cylinders to allow the rst cylinder to warm up, repeating as necessary. Placing the
LPG cylinder at the end of the generator near the handle, where engine fan air ows out from the
generator. This air is slightly heated by air owing over the engine. Do not place the LPG cylinder in
the path of the mu󰀪er exhaust outlet.
● The LPG cylinder and components can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm water over
them.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This portable generator has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. The voltage is
regulated using an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Readjusting the AVR will void warranty.
The duplex receptacle is equipped with GFCI protection. The GFCI protects against electric shock
that may be caused if you become a path which electricity travels to reach earth. Even with a GFCI
you may feel a shock, but the GFCI cuts power quickly so an average person should not su󰀨er any
injury. Manual test GFCI while generator is running to verify internal contacts will function.
●
Push the test button. The reset button will pop out, which should cut power to outlet.
●
Press the reset button until it locks in the depressed position. If the GFCI does not reset as
described do not use the receptacles. Call Firman customer service.
●
If GFCI trips while in use, reset and test the outlet. Electric cords lying on the ground with
worn insulation may trip the GFCI, only use cords in good condition.
In addition to the manual test / reset feature the GFCI receptacle tests itself periodically to conrm the
GFCI electronics are functional. The indicator light will be solid green when the GFCI is powered from
the generator and working correctly.
Self-test indications: If the indicator light is solid orange or ashing red a problem may exist.
Press the TEST button to trip the GFCI. If unable to reset, replace the GFCI

Surge Protection
There is a remote chance that voltage uctuations may impair the proper functioning of some sensitive
electronic equipment. Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances
may use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be a󰀨ected
by the portable generator’s momentary voltage uctuations. While there is no way to prevent all voltage
uctuations, you can take steps to protect your sensitive electronic equipment. Install a plug-in surge
suppressor on the receptacles feeding your sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come in single or
multi-outlet styles. They are designed to protect against short duration voltage uctuations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Economy Control Switch
12V DC Outlet (Battery Charger)
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel
consumption and noise while operating the unit during times of reduced
electrical output, allowing the engine speed to idle during periods of
non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is o󰀨, the engine runs at normal
speed continuously.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary uctuations,
the Economy Control Switch should be turned OFF.
The amount of current owing will depend on the charging voltage and the battery’s state of charge.
As the battery becomes more fully charged, the output current to the battery decreases and nearly
becomes constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used with the provision that they will be discon-
nected from the battery after a maximum time on charge. Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is
su󰀩cient to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of the battery should be checked periodically.
NOTICE
● For use with 12V direct current outlet, always keep the ECO mode deactivated (OFF Position).
● You can use the 12V direct current outlet and the 120V current at the same time, but keep the ECO
mode deactivated (OFF Position) at all times.
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging Cable is connected and the generator is running.
It will not give the battery a boost of power. The Vehicle or the generator may be damaged. Charge
only vented wet lead acid batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
or damage.
WARNING!
● Storage batteries give o󰀨 EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open
ames, sparks, or spark producing equipment in the area while charging.
● Battery electrolyte uid is comprised of sulfuric acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns. Do not allow this uid to contact eyes, skin, clothing, etc. If contact or spillage does occur, ush
the area with water immediately.
● Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.

Long Term Storage
WARNING!
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
ammable which could cause burns or
re resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not store fuel near any ignition sources.
When draining fuel move generator outdoors and
use a commercially available non-conductive
vacuum siphon. Fuel must be drained into an
approved container.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system components such as
the carburetor, fuel hoses or tank during storage. Ethanol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
When the generator set is being stored for more than one month, follow these instructions to avoid
engine problems:
1.Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline
tank.
2.Start the generator as instructed in Starting the
Generator section.
3.Run the generator for 5-10 minutes so the treated
gasoline cycles through the fuel system.
4.Turn the main fuel selector switch to the “STORAGE
OFF” position until the engine stops. This may take 3-5
minutes. Then turn the fuel selector switch to “OFF (O)”
position.
5.Change oil after the engine cools down entirely.
6.Remove spark plug and pour about one teaspoon of
engine oil into the cylinder.
7.Pull the starter cord a few times to lubricate the cylinder
and then reinstall the spark plug.
8.Cover and store the unit in a clean, dry place out of
direct sunlight.
NOTICE
Any damage or hazards caused by using
