NOTICE
Federal and local laws and administrative requirements
indicate when and where spark arrestors are required. When
ordered, spark arrestors are required for operation of this
generator in National Forest lands. In California, this generator
must not be used on any forest-covered land, brush-covered
land, or grass-covered land unless the engine is equipped with

Adjusting the Governor
WARNING
Tampering with the factory set governor will void your
warranty.
The air-fuel mixture is not adjustable. Tampering with the governor
can damage your generator and your electrical devices and
will void your warranty. Contact our Technical Support Team at
1-877-338-0999 for all other service and/or adjustment needs.
Generator battery
Your generator is equipped with an automatic battery charging
circuit that charges the battery while the engine is running.
The battery will maintain a proper charge if the unit is used on
a regular basis (about once every two weeks). If it is used less
frequently, the battery should be connected to a trickle charger
or battery maintainer (not included) to keep the battery properly
charged.
Maximum charging rate should not exceed 1.5 amps. Follow
the instructions included with the battery charger. The battery
should be fully charged at least once per month. If the battery is
not able to start the engine, it can be started by manually pulling
the engine recoil cord. If the battery voltage is extremely low, the
charging circuit may not be able to re-charge the battery. In this
case, the battery must be connected to a standard automotive
style battery charger for re-charging before it can be used.
