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.
● Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
● Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
WARNING: This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed
150℉ (65℃).

● The muffler is hot when the generator is running and just stopping. Be careful not to touch it.
● Under certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
● Be sure to add gasoline in a well-ventilated place. Turn off the engine and let it cool before filling.
● 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.

are overloaded, the breaker will pop out. In this condition, reduce the loads and then press the AC breaker
button.
Grounding Terminal
The grounding terminal is designed to prevent electric shock by connecting it to the grounding wire. The
generating set must be properly grounded before operation.
The generator is equipped with an equipment ground connecting the generator frame and
the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. This allows the generator to be used as a portable
without grounding the frame of the generator.
The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin. Electrical
devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is
not functional.
ECO Switch
When the energy-saving switch is in the energy-saving position, the generator is in the energy-saving state.
When disconnecting or using low power, the engine automatically returns to a low speed state, thus
reducing engine fuel consumption
Full Speed
“full speed” means that the energy-saving state(ECO switch) is in OFF position and the engine is always at
high speed, which is suitable for the situation where the load of electrical appliances varies greatly.
When the energy-saving switch is in full-speed position, the engine will remain in a high speed state.
● In order to reduce the change of voltage, the energy saving switch should be in the position of "full
speed" when the electrical equipment needs a large instantaneous power, or when the generator is
connected with the load of the high power apparatus at the same time.
● When using 12 V DC output, put the energy-saving switch in full-speed position.
WARNING: In the non-overload state, the output can not be restored by pressing the reset key.
Each time the engine is started, the number of effective operation times of the protection cut-off
switch is 5 times, or the engine needs to be restarted.
Parallel Operation
Make sure that the generating set is in a good running state before connecting it to other generating sets.
The total power of electric devices should not exceed rated power of generating set.
When electric motor starts, the overload indicator (Orange) will light up and normally it will stop within4
seconds. If it cannot stop, please call 1-872-314-0005 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST or email:
[email protected] & [email protected] for customer service.
During parallel operation, energy-saving switches of generating sets should be in the same position. To
parallel operation, perform the following steps:
1. Connect one generating set to other generating set(s) in parallel. Use the parallel kit to make the parallel
connection (the parallel kit needs to be purchased separately).
2. Start the engine in proper order and make sure that the running indicator (green) is normal.
3. Connect the plug of electric devices to the AC receptacle of parallel kit.
4. Run the electric devices.
NOTE: We advise two parallel generators are same model, or it may cause a low voltage output, which
could damage appliances powered by the generators.

2. Unscrew and remove the dipstick.
3. Add recommended oil to the upper limit(H).
4. Fully tighten the dipstick.
5. Install the cover back to the generator.
NOTE: The oil capacity (rated) of the engine crankcase is 16.2 fl. oz.
Properly dispose of any used oil at an approved waste management facility.
CAUTION: Operate generator only on a level surfaces. Running the engine when the oil level
is low can seriously damage the engine.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor (applicable types) that will automatic stop the engine when
the oil level falls below the safe limit. To avoid the inconvenient of an unexpected shutdown, fill to
the upper limit and check the oil level regularly.
Generator Fuel Check
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 not directly in contact with gasoline.
● With the engine stopped, check the fuel level. Refill the fuel tank if necessary.
● Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.
● Do not mix oil with gasoline.
● Gasoline shall not overflow the tank (the oil level is lower than the red oil level indicator). After
Ambient Temperature
background
14
refueling, tighten the tank cover and wipe up any spilled fuel. Prevent dirt and water from entering the
tank.
● Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol or gasoline containing methanol, otherwise the
engine will be seriously damaged.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator stopped and cooled entirely,also make sure it is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel cap anticlockwise slowly and set aside.
NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be sure not to fill above the upper limit mark(the red
insert). Always allow room for fuel expansion. The capacity of the fuel tank is 1.3gallon.
4. Install the fuel cap.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during use even with
the fuel cap in place. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
● Do not fill tank indoors.
● Do not fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
● Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Never use old gasoline.
● Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
● Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store generator for extended periods of
time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
● Turn the fuel cock off and drain the fuel from the carburetor.
● Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.h
● It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage.
● Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the
instruction given in “Storage” section.
● Gasoline/ Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a fuel.
Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.
● Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not warrantable.
● Allow the generating set to cool for at least two minutes before removing fuel cap when adding fuel.
● Loose the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
● Fuel and vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel in a well ventilated area. Keep fire
and spark away. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury!
background
15
Add Fuel: Propane/LPG
Propane/LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
● The provided propane/LPG hose with right-hand, works with standard 20, 30 and 40-pound capacity
cylinders with Type 1, right hand Acme threads. Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not
expired. Do not use rusted or damaged cylinders.
● Only use provided propane/LPG hose for safe propane operation.
1. Make certain both gasoline and propane/LPG valves are closed.
2. Remove the rubber protective plugs (if it is available) and attach the propane/LPG hose with regulator
to the propane/LPG inlet located on the side control panel of the generator. Tighten with a 19mm or
adjustable wrench. DO NOT over-tighten.
3. Remove safety plug from the propane/LPG cylinder valve (if it is available) and attach the other end
of the propane/LPG hose with regulator to cylinder valve. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a positive
stop.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use thread seal tape or any type of sealant to seal the propane LPG hose
connections.
4. Open valve on propane LPG cylinder and check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with
a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a
leak exists at a fitting, then turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve back
on and recheck the fitting with the soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak is not at a
fitting, then do not use the generator and contact customer service.
● Use only an approved/LPG cylinder equipped with an OPD (Overfilling prevention device) valve.
● DO NOT check for leaks with a lighted match or flame.
● The propane cylinder valve should be fully closed when the generator is not in use or is running on
gasoline.
● The regulator/hose assembly and cylinder valve must be inspected before each use for leaks or signs
of damage.
● All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling. Used cylinders that have not
been plugged or kept closed must also be purged. The purging process should be done by your propane
gas supplier.
● Propane/LPG is heavier than air and can accumulate in confined spaces and low-lying areas places in
the event of a leak.
NOTICE
DANGER
background
16
● Propane/LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks quickly.
● In case of a petroleum gas fire, do not attempt to extinguish the flame if the fuel supply valve is in the
ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an open fuel supply valve could create an
explosion hazard.
● When exchanging propane/LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type.
● Always keep the propane/LPG cylinder in an upright position.
● Propane/LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep Propane/LPG away from skin at all
times.
● Always position the cylinder so the connection between the valve and the regulator won’t causebends
or kinks in the hose.
● DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes while connecting the propane/LPG cylinder.Check the fuel system
periodically for leaks or signs of damage.
● In the event of an LPG fire, do not extinguish the flames unless the fuel supply valve can be turned off.
If the fire is extinguished and the fuel supply of fuel is not turned off, an explosion hazard greater than the
fire hazard could be created.
Do not start generator if you smell propane. Always fully close the propane tank valve and disconnect the
propane/LPG hose from the generator when not in use.
FUEL SENSE (Automatic Fuel Selection Technology)
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane gasoline is acceptable. Engine power and
generator output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of elevation above sea
level. High altitude may cause hard starting, increase
the authorized local dealer for high altitude kit information if you always operate your engine at altitudes
above 5,000 feet.
d fuel consumption and spark plug fouling. Consult
Operation using an alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended minimum altitude can
damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations,the standard main jet supplied must be used. Oper-
ating the engine with the wrong main jet may increase exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and reduce
performance.
Operation at High Altitude
NOTICE
DANGER
Your generator is equipped with FUEL SENSE technology which automatically switches fuel intake
gasoline and propane/LPG to extend runtime. Propane is a prioritized fuel which means the generator will
use propane as soon as the Propane Cylinder Valve is opened. The generator will use gasoline if there is
not enough propane remaining in the cylinder OR if the Propane Cylinder Valve is closed.
If you wish to use gasoline, the Engine Switch should be in the ON position and the Propane Cylinder
Valve should be CLOSED. Opening the Propane Cylinder Valve will immediately replace gasoline intake
with propane intake.
If you wish to use propane, the Engine Switch should be in the ON position and the Propane Cylinder
Valve should be OPEN. Closing the Propane Cylinder Valve OR having an insufficient remaining level of
propane in the cylinder will immediately replace propane intake with gasoline intake.

Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctua-
tions. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect senstive elec-
tronic equipment.
Install UL1449, CSA-listed,plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles. They're designed to protect against virtually al
short-duration voltage fluctuations.

4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
FUEL SENSE (Automatic Fuel Selection Technology)
Your generator is equipped with FUEL SENSE technology which automatically switches fuel intake
between gasoline and propane/LPG to extend runtime. Propane is a prioritized fuel which means the
generator will use propane as soon as the Propane Cylinder Valve is opened. The generator will use
gasoline if there is not enough propane remaining in the cylinder OR if the Propane Cylinder Valve is
closed.
1.Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
If you wish to use gasoline, the Starting Dial Switch should be in the ON position and the Propane
Cylinder Valve should be “CLOSED”. Opening the Propane Cylinder Valve will immediately replace
gasoline intake with propane intake.
If you wish to use propane, the Starting Dial Switch should be in the ON position and the Propane
Cylinder Valve should be OPEN. Closing the Propane Cylinder Valve OR having an insufficient remain-
ing level of propane in the cylinder will immediately replace propane intake with gasoline intake.
Changing Fuels
Gasoline, gasoline vapor and propane/LPG are highly lammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
DO NOT add gasoline to the gasoline tank or connect the Propane/LPG hose to the generator while the
generator is running.
