these instructions:
English Customer Service: 1-844-FIRMAN1
1. Run the generator at least 30 minutes every
month.
4. Change oil with recommended grade oil.
5. Remove spark plug and pour about one teaspoon
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, then pull
the recoil starter several times to distribute the oil for
lubricating the cylinder. Reattach the spark plug.
Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will
close the valves so moisture cannot enter engine
cylinder. Gently release recoil starter.
6. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place
out of direct sunlight.
NEVER USE WATER TO
CLEAN GENERATOR.
2. Turn engine switch to “ OFF ” position.
Fully close the LPG cylinder knob if it is open and
disconnect LPG cylinder from the generator.
3. Allow the unit to cool entirely before cleaning
and storage.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains odorless and
colorless carbon monoxide gas.
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of
your generator during periods of storage, the
following precautions should be followed:
When storing the generator for short or extended
periods of time make sure that the engine
switch is in the “OFF” position and the battery
leads have been disconnected from the battery.
The battery powers up the starter motor and
the control module in this generator
. This product
is equipped with an automatic battery charging
circuit. The battery will receive charging voltage
when 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 (not included) or battery maintainer
(not included) to keep the battery properly charged.
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.
