SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions.. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carton monoxide. Never run the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read the labels, safety notes and precautions described in the manual carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for a replacement.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. Check the engine oil level Using non-detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine’s service life. Use high-detergent, premium quality 4 –stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed .SF.(15W40) Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area. SAE Viscosity Grades Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
Check the fuel level Turn the fuel cap lever to “OFF” position before transporting. Use automotive fuel (Unleaded or low leaded is preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits). !! Don’t use fuel containing ethanol or alcohol: Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain ethanol or alcohol are not covered under the warranty. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. 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. After refuelling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
GENERATOR USE Starting the engine Before starting the engine, disconnect any load from the DC receptacle. 1. Turn the fuel cap lever fully clockwise to the ON position. 2. Set the fuel valve in the “ON” position 3. Choke(Type 1) To start a cold motor shove the choke lever all the way to the left. To restart a hot motor set the choke lever half-way. 4. Choke(Type 2) To start a cold motor pull out the choke completely to close. To restart a hot motor, press the choke completely to open.
Choosing the right choke position is the key to starting the motor. You may have to practise a few times to use the choke correctly Shove the choke completely to the right to restart a hot motor. Shove the choke to about halfway to restart a warm motor. A hot motor will not start if there is too much fuel in the cylinder. If this happens, wait five to ten minutes before trying again. Shove the choke completely to the right and the motor should start. 4. Set the motor switch in the “ON” position 5.
6. After the engine starts, allow the engine to run continuously and warm up. 7. Press the choke in completely after the engine is started. If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas. Before using the device once it is connected, switch off the ECO switch.
Remote Control Stop Start Button Press twice to begin operation Starting Key The generator can be started by either the remote control or the starting key. • • • When starting the generator with the starting key, do not use the remote to stop the generator. When starting the generator with the remote, do not use the starting key to stop the generator. The emergency stop button can be used to stop the generator, regardless of how it has been started.
High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburettor air –fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500m (4,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these carburettor modifications.
• • • • Limit length of extension cables 60m for cables of 1.5mm2 and 100m for cables of 2.5mm2. Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as distribution network. The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC. Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for startup. AC applications 1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green) illuminates. 2.
Output and Overload Indicators The output indicator light (green) will remain lit during normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will turn OFF, the overload indicator light (red) will turn ON and current to the connected appliance will be shut off. Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) switches ON and investigate the overload source.
2. Start engine according to “STARTING THE ENGINE” When the output indicator light (green) does not light and the overload indicator light (red) lights instead, set the engine switch to STOP, stop the engine at once and then start the engine again. 3. Confirm that the equipment to be used is switched off, and insert the plug of the equipment to be used into the AC receptacle unit A. Check that the equipment to be connected is switched off.
When equipment requires a large starting power, the overload indicator lights (red) and the output indicator light (green) may light together for a short time, but this is no abnormality. After start of the equipment, the overload indicator light (red) will go out after about 5 seconds and the output indicator light (green) will stay lit.

Inspect or service as scheduled in the table below Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance ,If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well ventilated, The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Use authorized parts or their equivalent. The use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.
Maintenance Schedule Note 1. Log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance. 2. Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. 3. These items should be serviced by an authorized dealer, unless the owner has the proper tools and is mechanically proficient. See the Shop Manual.
Changing oil Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining. Make sure to turn the engine switch and the fuel cap vent lever OFF before draining. 1. Lean the generator. 2. Fasten the oil lead pipe on the oil exhaust as the picture. Then pour out the oil. 3. Refill the new oil and check the oil position in the crankcase with the dip stick 4.
Wash your hands with soap and water after handing used oil. Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is responsible with the environment in mind. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. Air Cleaner Service A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly.
Spark Plug Servicing Please use high quality authentic spark plugs. To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. 1. Remove the bolts on the top maintenance cover and the cover. 2. Take out the ignition coil rubber boot. 3. Remove the spark plug with the spark plug wrench.
4. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused. 5. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. 6. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it should be tightened 1/2 turn with a wrench to compress its washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should only require 1/8 to 1/4 turns after being seated. 7. Reinstall the ignition coil rubber boot on the spark plug securely.
Transporting and Storage To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position, with the engine switch OFF. The fuel cap vent lever is turned counter clockwise to the OFF position. Allow the engine to cool well before turning the fuel cap vent lever to the OFF position, When transporting generator: • • • • Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
5. Remove spark plug and fill cylinder with 2cc’s fresh oil. Pull start motor 3-4 times to discharge the remaining oil. Then reinstall the spark plug. 6. Pull the starting cord slowly until resistance is strong . At this time, the piston is moving to the top of the compression stroke and the valves will be closed.
Fire arrestor service Uncleaned muffler will increase noise and affect the engine’s running. Clean and maintain the fire arrestor regularly to make sure the generator works normally. The fire arrestor needs cleaning frequently if you use the generator in very dirty conditions, or replace the fire arrestor if necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING • • • Shake the generator several times from side to side to make the oil float rise if the generator cannot start after adding oil for the first time and the oil alarm indicator stays on when pulling the starting grip. Make sure there is no spilled fuel around the spark plug. Spilled fuel may ignite. If the engine still doesn’t start, have the generator repaired by a licensed repair person. INSPECTION: 1.
