Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator.
Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
WARNING:
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power
operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector
OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
AC Operation
1.Start the engine .
2. the voltage output.
you can use the 230V receptacles simultaneously.
Or
you can use the 120V and 240V receptacles simultaneously.
3. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for start up.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the
AC circuit breaker to switch OFF.
DC Operation
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease,
and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard
starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended
periods of time, may increase emissions.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always
operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your dealer perform this
carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications
for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot
(300-meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburetor modification is made.
WARNING:
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air/fuel mixture will be too
lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified
carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

MAINTENANCE
The Importance of Maintenance
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help
reduce air pollution.
WARNING:
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
