5,000 Watt  Portable Generator

Your generator is ready for use after it has been properly
serviced with the recommended oil and fuel.

If you have any problems with the generator, please
call the generator helpline at 1-800-270-1408.

IMPORTANT: Any attempt to run the unit before it has
been serviced with the recommended oil will result in an
engine failure.

REMOVE GENERATOR

FROM CARTON

• Set the carton on a rigid flat surface with “This Side Up”

arrows pointing upward.

• Carefully open the top flaps of the shipping carton.

• Cut down corners at one end of carton from top to

bottom and lay that side of carton down flat.

• Remove all packing material, carton fillers, etc.

• Remove the generator from the shipping carton.

CARTON CONTENTS

Check all contents. If any parts are missing or damaged, call
the generator helpline at 1-800-270-1408.

• The generator

• Generator and engine owner’s manuals

• Engine oil

BEFORE STARTING THE

ENGINE

Add Oil

CAUTION!

Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly filled with the recommended
oil may result in an engine failure.

To fill your engine with oil:

• Place generator on a level surface.

• Follow the oil grade recommendations and oil fill

instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a
prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Add Gasoline

WARNING! 

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Allow
unit to cool for two minutes before refueling. Do
Not 
light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel
tank.

WARNING!

Do Not overfill the fuel tank.

Always allow room for fuel expansion.

• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator

engine. Do Not use premium gasoline. Do Not mix oil
with gasoline.

• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Be

careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" of tank space for
fuel expansion (Figure 2).

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage”
on page 9. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
