Move Generator to
Safe Operating Location
1. Move generator outside to a flat, level surface, in
an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust
gas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Operate ONLY
outside far away from windows, doors and vents.
Install carbon monoxide alarms. DO NOT run this
product inside homes or garages, even if using fans
or opening doors and windows. Direct exhaust
AWAY from windows, doors, and vents.

2. To reduce the risk of exhaust heat or exhaust
gases igniting nearby combustible material, keep
at least 5 feet (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of
generator, including overhead.
Start Generator
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface. Disconnect all electrical loads
from the generator.
2. Turn the fuel valve (L) to the “On” position.
6
3. Move choke lever (M) to CHOKE position ( ).
7
4. Push engine switch (N) to ON (I) position.
8
5. Pull starter rope handle (P) slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull
cord rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback, and start
engine.

7. If engine does not start, refer to operator’s manual for detailed
startinginstructions.
Plug in Items to be Powered
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
NOTICE DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex GFCI
receptacles.
NOTICE DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
NOTICE DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
NOTICE DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See Don’t Overload
Generator, in Operator’s Manual.
2. Ensure the circuit breaker (Q) on the control panel is in the “On or I”
position.
10
3. The 120 Volt AC, 20A duplex GFCI receptacles (R) are provided with
“push to reset” circuit breakers (S) to protect the generator against
electrical overload.
10
4. The 120/240 Volt (T) AC, 30A locking receptacle is provided with
a 2 pole rocker switch circuit breaker (Q) to protect the generator
against electrical overload.
10
NOTICE Before using the GFCI receptacle, ALWAYS push the test and
reset buttons to insure it works.
5. Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.
NOTICE When plugging into the 120 Volt (R) GFCI receptacles, plug
items to be powered in sequence as shown.
10
6. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt (R) and/or 240 Volt (T) AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

Shut Down Generator
1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal
temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Push engine switch (N) to OFF position.
8
4. Move fuel valve (L) to OFF position.

5. To prepare for storage, refer to Operator’s Manual.
Unpack Generator
1. Set the carton on a rigid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from carton except generator.
3. Open carton completely by cutting each corner from top to bottom.
4. Ensure you have all included items prior to assembly.
If items are damaged or missing, call 1-800-743-4115.
5. Leave generator on carton to install the wheels.
Attach Wheels and Support Leg
NOTICE Wheels and support leg must be attached prior to adding any
fuel.
1. Tip generator so that engine side is down.
2. Slide a flat washer (A) over axle stud (B).
1
3. Slide a wheel (C) over axle stud (B).
1
NOTICE Be sure to install wheel with raised hub inboard.
4. Slide axle stud (B) through mounting bracket.
1
5. Insert retaining pin (D) through hole on axle stud.
1
6. Repeat steps 2 thru 5 to secure second wheel.
7. Line up holes in support leg (E) with holes in generator frame.
1
8. Attach support leg using four bolts (F) and four flange nuts (G).
Tighten with 10 mm and 13 mm wrenches.
1
9. Return generator to normal operating position (resting on wheels
and support leg).
Verify Engine Oil Level and Add Fuel
NOTICE Be sure you have attached wheels and support leg prior to this
step.
NOTICE DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85. DO
NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.
2. The generator engine is shipped from the factory filled with oil.
Before starting the engine, check oil level (
).
2
3. Replace and fully tighten oil fill cap.
4. Clean area around fuel fill cap ( ), remove cap.
3
5. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator (H) in fuel tank.
Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This allows adequate space
for fuel expansion.
4
6. Replace fuel cap, and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting
engine.
