English | Original instructions
■ Start the generator with nothing connected.
■ Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load (highest wattage) you have.
■ Permit the generator output to stabilise (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
■ Plug in and turn on the next load.
■ Again, permit the generator to stabilise.
■ Repeat previous two steps for each additional load.
WARNING
Never add more loads than the generator capacity.
Take special care to consider surge loads in generator
capacity.
MOVING THE GENERATOR
See Figure 8.
■ Place the engine choke/off selector knob in the "off"
position.
■ Allow 30 minutes of 'cool down' time before storing the
product.
■ Pull the retractable handle out or carry by the carry
handles.
■ Facing the front of the generator, grasp the folding
handle firmly with one hand.
■ Lift the generator toward you until it balances on the
wheels.
■ Turn around and pull the product along behind you to
the desired location.
■ Lower the generator until it sits securely on a flat
surface.
■ Secure the handle by pushing it all the way in.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
The product is not designed for high-altitude operation
(altitudes greater than 600 m above sea level). Operating
the product in higher altitudes may increase the engine’s
emissions, decrease fuel economy and performance and
reduce the generator life.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection with side shields. Failure to
do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes,
resulting in possible serious injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at an authorised service centre.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where it
is not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapours.
Do not allow the cooling air slots in the generator to become
clogged with foreign material such as leaves, snow, etc.
Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
entering the fuel system or other internal parts of the
product can cause problems that will decrease the life of
the generator.
To clean the product:
■ Use a soft bristle brush to loosen and remove dirt and
debris.
■ Clean air vents with low pressure air that does not
exceed 25 psi.
■ Wipe the exterior surfaces of the generator with a damp
cloth.
CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figures 9-10.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filters clean.
■ Loosen the screws on the side of the engine cover.
Remove cover and set aside.
■ Loosen the screw in the centre of the air filter cover.
Remove air filter cover and set aside.
■ Remove the air filter.
■ Wash the air filters with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
squeeze to dry.
■ Reinstall the air filters.
NOTE:
Make sure the filters are seated properly inside
the generator. Installing the filters incorrectly will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
■ Reinstall the air filter cover. Tighten the screw to secure.
■ Reinstall the engine cover. Tighten the knob to secure.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 11.
For best performance, engine lubricant should be changed
after every 100 hours or 6 months of operation.
■ Loosen the knob at the side of the engine cover.
Remove cover and set aside.
■ Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
■ Loosen the two screws and remove the oil drain cover.
■ Tilt the generator to the side and allow lubricant to drain
from the oil fill hole into an approved container.
■ NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
WARNING
Do not change engine lubricant while it is hot. Accidental
contact with hot engine lubricant could result in serious
burns.
■ Return the generator to an upright position and
refill with lubricant following the instructions in the
"Checking/Adding Lubricant" section in this manual. For
amount of lubricant needed to refill, see the "Product
