CO WATCH-GUARD Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Auto Shutoff System Your Generator is equipped with Carbon Monoxide (CO) WATCH-GUARD detect system for your protection and safety. This detecting and shutoff system monitors for the accumulation of poisonous CO gas around the generator produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If the CO sensor detects increasing levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine.
WARNING DO NOT modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide Detecting System (CO WATCH-GUARD). Not following these instructions could result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide detecting system malfunction. CO WATCH-GUARD will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools used in the area of operation.
Add Engine Oil We recommend using SAE 10W-30 APISJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils (APISJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special additives. Ambient temperature determines the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature range expected. NOTICE The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a warning device or stop the engine.
A B 1. Remove the gasoline cap (A) slowly. 2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to gasoline tank. Be careful not to fill above the red fuel level indicator (B). This allows adequate space for fuel expansion. 3. Install gasoline cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine or wipe the spilled gasoline. • It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.
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.
Grounding WARNING Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock. The national electrical requires your generator must be connected properly to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock. The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. There may be Federal or State regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
