GENERAL HAZARDS • NEVER operate in an enclosed area, in a vehicle, or indoors EVEN IF doors and windows are open. • For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the maintenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized Dealer. Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement. • Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
GETTING STARTED FIRE HAZARDS • Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline. • Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool completely before adding fuel. • Never fill fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline. • Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion.

WATTAGE REFERENCE GUIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents. Grounding the generator when used as a portable This generator has an equipment ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles (see NEC 250.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS High Altitude This engine will have proper engine performance and emission control when it is operated at or below an altitude of 5000 feet (1524 meters). This engine requires a high altitude carburetor kit to ensure proper engine performance and emission control when it is operated at altitudes above 5000 feet (1524 meters). Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration above 5000 feet (1524 meters) may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.

Follow the instructions on the container and add to the gasoline.
A CAUTION: To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from the previous season. A CAUTION: A CAUTION: Choke position for starting may vary depending upon temperature and other factors. If re-starting a warm engine, the choke should be left in the HALF or CLOSE position. 5. Electric start: Turn and keep the key to "START" position till the engine is started. After the engine is started, release the key to return to "ON" position.
6. After the engine is running, move the choke valve to "OPEN" position. Bearing capacity A WARNING: DO NOT overload the generating set. Exceeding the capacity of generator can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. CLOSE OPEN A WARNING: Connect the output terminal of the generating set with the electrical equipment. Don't start or stop the engine when the electrical equipment is in "ON" status. Connect to electrical devices Inspect power cord for damage before using.
To recharge volt batteries, proceed as follows: MAINTENANCE • Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace or repair emission control devices and systems; however, warranty replacements or repairs must be performed by an FNA distribution or service center.
Maintenance Schedule Follow the service intervals indicated in the chart below. Your generating set may need to be serviced more frequently when operating in adverse conditions, such as excessive dust or airborne debris, high moisture, high vibrations, or intense heat or sunlight.
A WARNING: DO NOT run the engine without the air filter. Serious damage to the engine can result without the air filter. Spark Plug 1. 2. 3. 4. Clean any dirt from the spark plug cap and spark plug base. Remove the spark plug cap. Use a socket wrench to loosen and remove the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug and spark plug washer. If they are damaged or worn, replace with new one. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it can be reused. 5. Check spark plug gap.
Idle Speed STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION The idle speed has been pre-set at the factory and should rarely require readjustment. Storage The generator should be started at least once every two weeks and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes. Follow the instructions below for longer term storage if the generating set will be out of service for 2 months or more. A.WARNING: Improper adjustment of idle speed will damage your engine and void your warranty A.
