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

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 at high speed.
● 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 powers
the high-power apparatus.
● When using 12 V DC output, put the energy-saving switch in full-speed position.
WARNING: When there is no overload, the output cannot 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.

engine under low oil conditions. 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
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 3.2 gallon.
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.

● 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 only in a well-ventilated area.
Keep fire and spark away. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury!
Generator Set Grounding
DANGER: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
The generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground. It helps prevent electrical shock if a
ground fault condition exists in the generating set or in connected electrical devices, especially when
the unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in underground devices.
A ground terminal has been provided on the generating set. For remote grounding, connect of a length of
heavy gauge(4mm² or12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generating set ground terminal and a
copper rod driven into the ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
Neutral Floating*
–– Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the engine crankcase/ground of the inverter generator.
–– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the engine crankcase 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.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
–– Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
–– The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-member below the alternator. The system
ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your model’s control panel for specified type of grounding.
Electrical Devices

4. After all above operations, the engine can be normally loaded.
NOTE: To use electrical equipment, AC circuit breaker should be placed in "ON" position.
NOTE: If engine fires, but does not continue to run, rotate the fuel tap to “OFF” position and repeat
starting instructions to start the generator again.
WARNING: Check starter cord conditions before operating. Have it replaced immediately by
local authorized dealer if cord is frayed.
WARNING: Do not overload generator or individual panel receptacles. If an overload occurs,
the overload LED will illuminate and AC output ceases.
Using The Generator
WARNING: It is prohibited to start or close the generating set when the output terminal of
generating set is connected to an electric device is in “ON” state.
Connect to electrical devices
● Inspect power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of electrical shock from crushing, cutting
or heat damage.
● Make sure that the generating set has been properly grounded. If the electric devices require grounding,
the generating set must ground.
● Make sure that the electric devices are in “OFF” position.
● Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
● Connect and start the electric devices.
● Turn off all electric devices and disconnect them from the generating set.
● If the generator is supplying power to multiple loads, the largest load should be started firstly.
DANGER: If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from generating
set.
23
Electrical Shock
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare or
otherwise 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
