• Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in fuel spills. • Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions. • Keep children, pets and machinery with rotating parts away during operation. • Do not operate the generator in rain or snow. • Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator.
cause severe personal injury or death. • Allow the generator set to cool down before performing any maintenance. • Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air. • Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can cause damage to the generator set. • Before working with batteries, ventilate the area, wear safety glasses, do not smoke and always disconnect the negative cable first and reconnect it last.
Chapter 2 — Learn About Your Generator This section will show you how to identify key parts of your generator. Going over the terminology below will make sure we're on the same page. 2.
2.2 Make Sure You Have Everything Number Part Name Quantity 1 eZG1300 Generator 1 2 User Guide 1 3 DC Charging Cables 1 4 450mL 10W30 Oil 1 5 Spark Plug Socket Wrench 1 Make sure your generator has included everything in the table above.
Chapter 3 — Setting Up your eZG1300 Generator Setup should be done everytime you start up your generator, these quick checks will ensure you get the most out of your generator. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result. Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
3.2 Checking the Engine Fuel Level 1. Check the fuel level by reading the gauge or removing the fuel tank cap to visually check the level. 2. Refuel if level is too low. Tighten the fuel tank cap securely after refilling (Refer to Figure below) Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area where the generator is being refueled or where gasoline is stored.
3.3 Check the Air Filter 1. Loosen the knob and remove the air filter cover. Remove the air filter element and observe for cleanliness. 2. Clean the air filter element with soap and water or solvent. Squeeze dry and then soak in clean engine oil. 3. Squeeze out all excess oil and reinstall. Replace the element if it is damaged. Check the air filter using the maintenance schedule. Always inspect air filter before using the generator.
Chapter 4 — Using Your eZG1300 Generator DANGER- CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU 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. NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
1. Rotate the fuel valve lever to ON position (Vertical position). This is located on the left side of your generator, it is attached to the bottom of the fuel tank. 2. If the engine is cold: push the choke lever into the on/closed position. You can find the choke lever above the air filter cap on the left side of your generator. 3. Disconnect all devices from the outlets on the generator panel. Then press the engine switch to the “ON” position. 4.
4.2 Using the EZG1300 with your Appliances After starting the eZG1300 you can connect your devices to it. If you want to use the DC output to charge an automotive battery, skip to section 4.4. Before starting make sure that you know what you are able to power with your Generator. Here's how you can decide: Add the watt ratings of all the loads that the generator set will be powering at the same time. Make sure that total wattage will not exceed the generator rating.
4.3 Using the EZG1300 to Charge Automotive Batteries You can use 12V 8.3A DC output to charge automotive batteries. Be sure to monitor the battery charge time. Over-charge may cause explosion and injury. 1. Connect the positive (red) terminal of the battery to the red (positive) terminal, the 12V 8.3A DC Output Terminal on the front panel of your generator. 2. Connect the negative (black) terminal of the battery to the black (negative) terminal, the 12V 8.
When charging a large capacity battery or totally discharged battery, excessive current may force the DC breaker to turn off. In this case, use a battery charger. 4.4 Stopping Your Generator 1. Turn off and remove all of the connected devices. Let your generator run for a few minutes to cool down. 2. Stop the generator by pressing and holding the engine switch in the "off" position until the generator stops. 3. Rotate the fuel lever to the off position (horizontal).

Tighten ¼ turn when re-installing an old spark plug. 1. Disconnect and remove the spark plug using a wrench. 2. Inspect the spark plug and clean any dirt from the electrodes with a wire brush. If electrodes are worn or show signs of wear, replace spark plug. 3.
5.7 - Handling and Storage Handling 1. Turn off the engine switch and the fuel valve when transporting the generator set. 2. Do not touch engine until the engine has cooled down. 3. Keep the generator at a level position in order to prevent spillage. Storage Before storing the generator set for an extended period: 1. Ensure that the storage area is free of excess humidity and dust. 2. Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor. Draining the Fuel Tank 1. Turn OFF the engine.
