Break-in Period
1. Breaking-in the engine will help to ensure proper equipment and engine operation, and will extend the
engine’s lifespan. The warranty is void if the engine is not broken in properly. The first 20 hours of
operation is the break-in period.
2. During the first 3 hours of use:
Do not apply a heavy load to the equipment.
3. After the first 20 hours of use:
Change the engine oil.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows the schedule explained in the
Maintenance AND Service section.
Equipment Operation
To Power Tools and Equipment:
1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated wattage capacity (5000 W) is
adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s
capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a
separate Generator.
2. Start the Generator with no loads attached. Once the Generator warms up, with the equipment or
tools turned off, connect the Power Cords of the AC tools and equipment into the AC Outlets. Only
connect 120V AC tools to the 120V AC Outlets. Only connect 240V AC NEMA L14-30 type plug tools
the 240V AC Outlet.
Do not use this generator to charge DC vehicle batteries.
The Generator
has a Circuit Protector to protect the unit in case of an overload. If an overload occurs, the Circuit
Breaker will switch to its “OFF” position and cause the Generator to shut down. The Pilot Light will
shut off to show that the Circuit Protector has been tripped. Disconnect all devices and press the
Circuit Breaker back up to reset the Generator.
3. When finished using the Generator turn the tools off and unplug them. Allow the Generator to run for
several minutes with no devices connected to allow the temperature to stabilize. Turn the Power
Switch to its “OFF” position. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position.
4. To prevent accidents remove the key and disconnect negative battery terminal after use. Wait for the
engine to cool, clean external parts with clean cloth, then store the equipment out of children’s reach
according to the Storage instructions in this manual. If the Generator is not going to be used again
soon, drain the diesel fuel.

need to be adjusted by a qualified mechanic to allow efficient high-altitude use and to prevent damage to
the engine and any other devices used with this product.
