LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start the engine without filling the
engine crankcase with the proper amount and type of
oil. Use SAE 30 oil.
Your generator has been shipped from the factory without
oil in the engine crankcase. Operating the unit without oil
can damage the engine and lose the warranty.
Fill the engine according to the engine manual. In this
engine the plastic plug of the engine crankcase is the oil
fill and check plug.Fill with oil and check the level using
the marks settings in the dipstick.
LOW OIL SENSOR
The engine is equipped with an oil sensor. If the oil level
becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate
a warning device and stop the engine (see the
accompanying engine manual for more information).
If the generator turns off and the oil level is within
specifications, check that the generator is not placed at
an angle that forces the oil level to change. Place the
generator in an even area to correct this problem. If the
engine doesn’t start, the oil level could not be enough
to shut off the automatic “low oil” swith. Make sure the
oil cap is in the correct level.
FUEL
Fill the tank with unleaded fuel, clean and new. You can
use regular-grade fuel as long as it has a high octane
value (at least 85 octane). Always use a fuel additive.
A fuel additive will minimize the development of fuel
gum deposits during storage. The fuel additive can be
added to the fuel int the gas tank or put toguether to the
fuel in a storage container. The fuel and engine smoke
are flammable and potentially explosive. Use a suitable
procedure to store and handle fuel. Always have ABC
fire extinguisher nearby.
ELECTRIC EXTENSIONS OR CORDS
All generator loads will be connected from the control
panel with extensions or cords with 3-prong grounded
plug for connection to 127 volts outlet and 5-prong
grounded plug for connection to 127/220 volts outlet.
See Table 3 for select the minimum cable gauge of
extensions or cords in agreement with the necessities
of the loads.
When the load increases must be used a cable extension
of greater size. Using extensions of inadequate size it is
in where can result in serious problems with the voltage,
reducing the electric energy applied to the tools and
causing damage on them.
As far as smaller is the number of the wire gauge greater
is the conduction capacity, an example is that A wire
gauge 14 for example can lead a current higher than a
wire gauge16.
When several extensions are connected it is a must to
review that each extension is of the minimum gauge
required.
If you need to use an extension with outlets to connect
more than one electric tool, sum the amperes marked in
the nameplates of each tool to determine the minimum
cord gauge you need to use.
The extensions for 127 volts are made of 3 cables where
the green cable is the grounding one, the white cable is
the neutral and the black cable is the hot wire. 1

CAUTION
Do not overfill the tank.
Keep maximum fuel level
to ¼ inch below the top of
the tank. This will allow for
expansion during warm weather,
and so, avoiding spillage.

The extensions for exits of 127/220 are made of 5 cables
where the green cable is the grounding one, the white cable
is the neutral and the yellow cables are the hot wires.
UNPACKING
When umpacking check to make sure that all parts are
included. Refer to the General Assembly Drawing and
Parts List at the end of this manual.
If any parts are missing or broken, please call our
distributor.
