Control Functions

Preparing Your Generator

2) "OFF"
When the energy saving switch is set to the "OFF" position, the
engine will run at rated speed, regardless of connected load.

Fuel Tank Cap

Remove fuel tank cap by unscrewing it counterclockwise.

AC Circuit Breaker

If the total AC load exceeds the rated current, the AC circuit
breaker will open (trip) and the button will pop out. In this case
disconnect all loads, restart the generator and push in the AC
circuit breaker(s).

Grounding Terminal

If grounding is required by code or application, follow the
guidelines on page 12.

Fuel

After fueling, wipe up any gasoline residue with a soft cloth to
prevent damage to the plastic enclosures.

Fuel tank capacity: 1 US gallon

Engine Oil

Your generator ships without engine oil. Do not attempt to start the
generator without sufficient engine oil in the crankcase.

1

 Place your generator on a flat, stable surface.

2

 Unscrew the knob 

 to remove oil access cover 

3

 Unscrew oil dipstick 

.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Gasoline is highly flammable and toxic. You must read and
understand ALL safety instructions before fueling your
generator.

Do not overfill the fuel tank! Heat and vibration can cause
fuel to leak from an over-filled fuel tank.

After refueling, confirm that the fuel tank cap has been
tightened.

Remove fuel tank cap and add gasoline to the red horizontal 
line.
