or garage, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open.

ONLY use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

WARNING

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,

a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CAN NOT smell it,

see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could

still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors, and

vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating

and potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon

monoxide alarms with battery backup according to the manufacturer's

instructions. Most smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements,

crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially enclosed spaces even if using

fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide

can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even

after this product has shut off.

ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust

away from occupied spaces. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak

while using this product, shut it off and get to fresh air IMMEDIATELY -

then see a doctor; you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Carbon Monoxide

Generators are very convenient, but they can also be very

dangerous. All fuel-burning appliances and equipment release a

poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (also

known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and pets, even in

small amounts, because it blocks oxygen from getting into your

body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death in a very short

time. It is odorless, tasteless and invisible, so you may be exposed

without knowing it. That is why carbon monoxide is sometimes

called “the silent killer”.

CO Sentry

The CO Sentry system was created to protect from dangerous carbon

monoxide. Just like the detector for your home the CO Sentry tests the

air for dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. If dangerous levels of

carbon monoxide are detected this generator will automatically shutoff.

WARNING

Automatic shutoff accompanied with a ashing RED light in the CO

Sentry portion of the control panel is an indication that the generator

was improperly located. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon

monoxide detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air

immediately. Call emergency services. You may have carbon monoxide

poisoning.

CO Sentry Indicator Lights

RED

Carbon monoxide has accumulated around the generator. After shut-off,

the RED indicator light in the CO Sentry area of the control panel will

ash to provide notication that the generator was shutoff due to an

accumulating CO hazard. The RED light will ash for at least ve

minutes after a CO shut-off. Move the generator to an open, outdoor

area far away from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away. Once

relocated to a safe area, the generator can be restarted. Introduce fresh

air and ventilate the area where the generator had shut down.

YELLOW

A CO Sentry system fault occurred. When a system fault occurs, the

generator is automatically shut down and the YELLOW indicator light in

the CO auto-shutoff area of the control panel will ash to provide

notication that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW light will ash for at

least ve minutes after a fault. The generator can be re-started, but may

continue to shutoff.

Before operating your generator, you must read and

understand the manual and familiarize yourself with the safe

operation practices.

Preparation

Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships from our

factory without oil; it must be properly lled with oil before operation.

Unpacking

1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, at surface.

2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator.

3. Using the carrying handles of the unit, carefully remove the

generator from the box (two people lifting is recommended).

Add Engine Oil

CAUTION

DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been

properly lled with the recommended type and amount of oil.

Damage to the generator because of failing to follow these

instructions will void your warranty.

Failure to follow the instruction may result in the damage to your

generator and other property.

NOTICE

If running the generator in extreme temperatures, refer to the

following chart for recommended oil type.

1. Place the generator on a solid, at, level surface.

2. On the left side of the generator, loosen the screws and remove

the maintenance cover.

3. Remove oil ll cap/dipstick to add oil.

4. Using a funnel, as needed, add the appropriate type of oil until the

oil level is at the proper level. SAE 10w-30 oil is recommended for

general use. DO NOT OVERFILL. Replace oil ll cap/dipstick and

secure maintenance cover.

5. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

NOTICE

Once the oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about

1-2 threads from running out of the ll hole. When using the

dipstick to check the oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while

checking.

Preparation

NOTICE

CAUTION

NOTICE

Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the

Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the

oil level in the crankcase falls below a critical level.

The rst 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the unit.

During the break-in period stay at or below 50% of the running watt

rating and vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat

and cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to vary

slightly and help seat piston rings. After the 5-hour break-in period,

change the oil.

Synthetic oil may be used after the 5-hour initial break-in period.

Using synthetic oil does not extend the recommended oil change

interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient

<41°F (5°C) temperatures.

Add Gasoline

WARNING

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:

Fill the gasoline tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition

sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait

for it to cool before adding gasoline. Do not smoke.

1. Make sure the generator is on a solid, at, level surface.

2. Unscrew the fuel cap and set it aside.

3. Slowly add gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overll. The

fuel gauge on the top of the fuel tank indicates how much gasoline

is in the generator fuel tank.

4. Replace the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry

cloth then remove the cloth from the area.

Do not overll the gasoline the tank. Overlling can result in a re,

explosion, or death.

Gasoline can expand. Do not ll the gasoline tank to the top. Leave a

minimum of 1.5 inches open space. Gasoline fumes are highly

ammable. Do not ll the tank near an open ame. Always check for

gasoline spills.

● To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH,

UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.

● Never use an oil/gasoline mixture. Never use old gasoline.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the gasoline tank.

● Gasoline can age in the tank and make it hard to start the generator

in the future.

● Never store generator for extended periods of time with gasoline in

the tank.

Connecting an LPG Tank

NOTICE

● Propane tanks that use liquid withdrawal system can not be used on

these models.

● Conrm that the re-qualication date on the tank has not expired.

● DO NOT use included LPG hose for any other appliances.
