to the unit.

BEFORE STARTING

Check the fuel level before starting your generator. For
1
best result use only regular grade unleaded gasoline
(minimum 90 octanes).
Always use unleaded fuel, it produces less
remainders in the spark plug, prolonging the life
of the exhaust system.
octane can cause persistent noise, and damage to
the engine, if some of these occurs while running
in constant speed under a normal charging load,
change quality of fuel, occasionally your generator
can make some noise while it operates under high
charge of load. This is not important, simply means
that the generator is working efficiently.
2 Verify the level of the oil of the engine before starting your
generator, the level of the oil must be between the mark
of low and high level of the dipstick.
This product is send by manufacturer without oil.
The oil is very important in the engine
performance. Oils with detergents and vegetal
oils are not recommended. Do not add commercial
additives to the recommended oil and don't mix oil
with gasoline. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use, other viscosities shown in the illustration
can be used when the average temperature in their
area is within the indicated rank.
After the unit is running you can connect the
3
appliances.
It is strongly recommended to use a GFI (Ground Fault
4
Interrupter). It can significantly reduce the possibility
of injury if an electrical short occurs.
A ground fault interrupter may ot be effective if
used on a generator that is not grounded.
When installing a GFI, be sure to follow all national
5
and local regulations, or call a qualified electrical
technician.
