SAFETY MESSAGES

Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided important safety

messages in this manual and on the generator. Please read these messages carefully.

A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety

message is preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION. These mean:

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

Your generator or other property could be damaged if you don’t follow

instructions.

SAFETY NOTICE

1. SAFETY STANDARD

Read and understand this owner’s manual before starting and operating your generator.

You can help prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator’s controls, and by

observing safe operating procedures.

Don’t operate indoors.

Don’t operate in the wet condition

Don’t directly connect to the household

power supply

Don’t smoke when refuelling

Don’t overflow the fuel when refuelling.

Stop the engine before refuelling

Please keep it 1m minimum away from the inflammable materials

2. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

·Electrical equipment including lines and plug connections should be free from

exposure.

·The circuit breakers should be matched with the generator equipment. If the circuit

breakers require replacement, they must be replaced with a circuit breaker having

identical ratings and performance characteristics

2. RECOIL STARTER

To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance

is felt, then pull briskly.

Do not allow the starter to snap back against the engine.

Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.

3. FUEL VALVE

The fuel valve controls fuel flowing from the fuel tank

to carburetor. Be sure to return the lever to “OFF”

after stopping the engine.

4. CHOKE LEVER

The choke lever is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine.

Slowly put the choke lever to “OPEN” position after the engine is heated.

5. AC CIRCUIT BREAKER / OVERCURRENT PROTECTIOR

The overload current will automatically switch off circuit breaker to avoid short circuit of the

load or overload. If the indicator of AC Overcurrent Protector is raised, the Over-current

Protector is now in the “OFF” position. Press the button of AC Over-current Protector to

the “ON” position again a few minute later. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF

automatically, switch the circuit breaker ON again.

6. OIL ALERT SYSTEM (Except PMV1200)

The oil alert system is specially designed to prevent engine damage caused by an

insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. When the oil level in the crankcase falls down

below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (though the

generator switch still remain in the ON position), so that the engine can’t be damaged

resulting from the insufficient amount of the oil.

GENERATOR OPERATION

Generator operation environment:·

Temperature:-15Ԩ㹼40Ԩ·

Humidity: 95% lower.·

Height above sea level: 1000 m lower (If the area is 1000 m over, the power should be

lowered in operation).

1. CONNECTION TO THE HOUSEHOLD POWER SUPPLY

When connecting the generator to the household power supply, connection must be

made by a qualified electrician. After connecting, carefully check electric

connections for their safety and reliability.

Unsafe connections will result in generator damage and risk of fire.

2. AC CURRENT

Before starting the generator, make sure that total

load appliance power (Total resistance, capacitive

and inductive) does not exceed rated power of the

generator

Overload operation will greatly shorten

generator service life.

If the generator set is connected to multi- loads or

electric appliances, please first connect to current

maximum, in turn, current second, and final,

current minimum.

In general, capacitive and inductive load, especially, motor-driven devices have a big

starting current when starting.

3. HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Output

power will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Engine performance can be

improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the

pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at altitudes above sea level 1000 meters,

have our company authorized dealer perform this carburetor modification. If not, lower load

power in operating generator.

Even equipped with suitable carburetor, engine horsepower will decrease approximately

3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be

lowered greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

If a carburetor for high altitude is equipped with engine suitable to a lower altitude,

the lean air fuel mixture will cause the engine output power lowering, over-heat and

seriously damage.

PRE-OPERATION CHEK

1. ENGINE OIL

Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-

detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not

recommended. Check the oil level before each use with the generator on a level

surface with the engine stopped.

Recommended oil

4-stroke gasoline oil

API service Classification's SF

or SAE10W-30 of equivalent SG class.

Method of check oil level:

Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.

Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.

If the level is low, add the recommended oil to the upper mark on the dipstick.

After adding, don’t forget to reinsert and screw down the oil dipstick.

2. FUEL

1. Check the fuel level gauge,

2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

3. Reinstall and screw down the fuel tank cap after refuelling.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow

flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refuelled or where gasoline is

stored.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Don’t use the oil and gasoline mixture or gasoline contained impurity.

Use gasoline with octane rating ≥90 .

We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug

deposits and extends exhaust system life.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or

water in the fuel tank.

3. BATTERY (PMV7000)

Don’t connect the battery positive and negative poles in reverse. Reversed

connection can seriously damage the generator set and battery.

• If operated improperly, the battery may be explosive and potentially hurt others

nearby. Keep the fire and inflammable materials far away from battery.

• The battery will release the explosive gas, please keep the fire far away from

battery. Keep the air ventilating when battery is charging and using.
