Safety, performance, and dependability have been given
top priority in the design of your low-power generating set.
INTENDED USE
The generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools,
and motor loads.
Do not use the product to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
Do not use the product to jump start vehicles. Doing so
could result in damage to the vehicle or its electrical
components.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors can
cause death in minutes.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous 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.
ŶNever use the 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.
ŶOnly use the generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can
pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use the generator correctly, CO may leak
into your home. Always use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in your home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to an area with fresh air right
away. See a physician. You could have a carbon monoxide
poisoning.
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which
will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician to comply with the intended use of the
generator.

Save these instructions.
This manual contains important instructions that should
be followed during the installation and maintenance of the
product.
ŶDo not connect to a building’s electrical system unless
the generator and the transfer switch have been
properly installed, and the electrical output has been
verified by a qualified electrician. The connection must
isolate the generator power from utility power and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
ŶDo not allow children or untrained individuals to use
the product. Protect children by keeping them at a safe
distance from the generator set.
ŶDo not start or operate the engine in a confined space,
building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and
extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness
or death.
ŶNever start or run the engine inside a closed or partially
enclosed area. Breathing exhaust fumes will kill you.
ŶKeep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the product.
ŶWear eye protection as well as hearing protection when
operating the product.
ŶWear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate
while barefoot.
ŶKeep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 3 m
away.
ŶDo not operate the product when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
ŶProduct users in some countries, must comply with fire
prevention regulations. The product is equipped with a
spark arrestor.
ŶDo not touch bare wire or receptacles.
ŶBefore each use, make sure to check the generator
wiring, sockets, and connectors for damage. You
should not use the product if any of these parts are
damaged.
ŶTo reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel
with care. It is highly flammable.
ŶDo not smoke while handling fuel or when filling the
generator with fuel. Do not refuel when near naked
flames.
ŶDo not refuel the product while operating. Position the
product on level ground, stop engine, and allow the
product to cool down before refuelling.
ŶDo not smoke when mixing fuel or filling fuel tank.
ƔMix and store fuel in a container approved for fuel.
ƔMix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or
flames. Wipe any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from
refuelling site before starting engine.
ƔStop the engine and allow the product to cool down
before refuelling or storing the unit.
ƔAllow the engine to cool down; empty the fuel
tank and secure the product from moving before
transporting in a vehicle.
ŶUse only authorised replacement parts and accessories

and follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
ŶInspect the product before each use for loose fasteners
and fuel leaks. Replace damaged parts.
ŶGenerators vibrate in normal use. During and after the
use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as
extension cords and power supply cords connected to it
for damage resulting from vibration. Have the damaged
items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use
plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as
broken or cracked insulation.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
When the generator is used to supply a building wiring
system: the generator must be installed by a qualified
electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a
separately derived system. The generator shall be
connected through a transfer switch that switches
all conductors other than the equipment grounding
conductor. The frame of the generator shall be
connected to an approved grounding electrode. Failure
to isolate the generator from power utility can result in
death or injury to electric utility workers.
ŶDo not use the generator to provide power for
emergency medical equipment or life support devices.
ŶExhaust fumes contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colourless, odourless gas. Breathing exhaust fumes
can cause loss of consciousness and can lead to death.
If running in a confined or partially-enclosed area,
the air may contain a dangerous amount of carbon
monoxide. To keep exhaust fumes from building up,
always provide adequate ventilation.
ŶAlways use a battery-powered carbon monoxide
detector when running the generator. If you begin to
feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut
it off and get to fresh air immediately. See a physician.
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ŶPlace the generator on a flat, stable surface with a
slope of no more than 4°.
ŶOperate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area
isolated from working areas to avoid noise interference.
ŶOperating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the product dry.
ŶKeep the generator a minimum of 1 m away from all
types of combustible material.
ŶDo not touch the muffler or cylinder during or
immediately after use; they are hot and will cause burn
injury.
ŶDo not connect to a building’s electrical system unless
a transfer switch has been properly installed by a
qualified electrician.
ŶDo not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when
filling. Fill to 25 mm (1”) below the top neck of the gas
tank to allow for fuel expansion. Do not cover the fuel
tank cap when the engine is running. Covering the fuel
tank cap during use may cause engine failure and/or
damage to the product.
ŶAllow the engine to remain in a shutdown condition for
at least five minutes before adding unleaded fuel or oil.
ŶDo not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.
ŶPay close attention to all safety labels located on the
generator.
ŶThe product operates best in temperatures between
-5°C and 40°C with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
ŶOperating voltage and frequency requirement of
all electronic equipment should be checked prior to
plugging them into this generator.
ŶOperation of the generator at altitudes above 1,000
m may require retuning. Consult a qualified service
technician.
ŶWhen using extension lines or mobile distribution
networks the total length of lines for a cross section of
1.5 mm2should not exceed 60 m; for a cross section of
2.5 mm2this should not exceed 100 m.
ŶUse only IEC 60245-4 compliant rubber insulated
cords.
ŶThe generating set must not be connected to other
power sources except with accessory advised by the
manufacturer or other generators with the same model.
ŶSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use the product.
If you loan someone the product, loan them these
instructions also.

ŶMake sure the engine and the exhaust of product has
cooled down.
ŶKeep the product level to prevent fuel spillage.
ŶDo not drop or strike the product or place under heavy
objects.
ŶStore the product in a well-ventilated area with the fuel
tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the product.
ŶEmpty the fuel tank, turn the engine/choke lever to the
off position and restrain the product from moving before
transporting in a vehicle.
