OPERATION

NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will

damage the engine and should not be used.

 Loosen the screws at the side of the engine cover.

Remove cover and set aside.

 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.

 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-thread.

 Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level.

Lubricant level should fall between the minimum and

maximum marks on the dipstick.

 If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level

rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the

dipstick.

 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

USING FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding

a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel

and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the

fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions

for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.

Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank

by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and

shaking gently to combine.

NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added

to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline

before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer

directly into the generator’s fuel tank.

 Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.

 Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow

stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

OXYGENATED FUELS

NOTICE:

Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater

than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of

federal law and will damage the unit and void your

warranty.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting

from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than

the percentage of oxygenates stated below are not covered

under warranty.

Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume

(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85

are not.

CHECKING/ADDING FUEL

See Figure 4.

WARNING:

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-

plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property

damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from igni-

tion sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke while

adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.

When adding gas to the generator, make sure the unit is

sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the

generator cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank

outdoors with the machine turned off.

 Remove the fuel cap.

 Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. below the top of the fuel neck.

 Replace and secure the fuel cap.

NOTE: Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane

rating of 86 or higher. Never use old, stale, or contaminated

gasoline, and do not use an oil/gas mixture. Do not allow dirt

or water into the fuel tank. Do not use E85 fuel.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See Figures 5 - 7.

NOTICE:

On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant

level before each use of the generator.

NOTE: If location of generator is not level, the unit may not

start or may shut down during operation.

To start generator the first time:

Your new inverter generator is equipped with a mechanical

fuel pump. The initial start up will require additional pulls of

the recoil starter to prime the fuel system.

 Turn the ENGINE/CHOKE LEVER to the CHOKE position.

 Fill the fuel tank per the Operator’s Manual instructions.

 Pull the engine recoil five (5) times to prime the fuel system.

 Press the AUTO IDLE SWITCH to the OFF position.

 Add engine lubricant per the Operator’s Manual instruc-

tions.

 Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts.

 Move the CHOKE LEVER to the RUN position.

 For quieter more efficient operation, place the AUTO IDLE

switch in the ON position.

To start subsequent times:

NOTE: Subsequent starting should only require 6 pulls

maximum.

 Unplug all loads from the generator.

 Place the auto idle switch in the off position.
