Overload:
The overload indicator will blink when the generator's
maximum wattage/amperage is reached. If the wattage/
amperage capacity is exceeded, the LED will become solid
and the unit's output will automatically shut down. To reset
the generator, remove all loads from the generator and press
the reset button (see fig. 1). Add loads back to the generator
one at a time being careful not to exceed the generators
wattage rating.
Lubricant:
The oil indicator will light and the engine will automatically
shut off whenever the lubricant level in the engine becomes
low. The engine may not be restarted until sufficient engine
lubricant has been added to the generator.
NOTE: It is normal for the indicator lights to illuminate and/
or blink each time the engine is started. Once the engine
warms up, the lights should default to the pattern above.
CHECKING/ADDING LUBRICANT
See Figures 3 - 5.
NOTICE:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
filled with lubricant will result in equipment failure.
NOTE: If a separate engine manual is provided for this prod-
uct, please follow the instructions provided in the engine
manual instead of the information listed below.
Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine performance
and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE 10W-
40 is recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant
that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service
classification SJ.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will
damage the engine and should not be used.
 Loosen the screw on the side cover. Remove side cover
and set aside.
 Unscrew the oil cap and remove.
 Visually check that lubricant is at the proper fill level as
shown in figure 5. If level is low, add engine lubricant until
the proper fill level is reached.
 Replace and secure the oil cap.
 Reinstall the side cover. Tighten screw to secure.
OPERATION
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding
a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel
and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the
fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer's directions
for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
 Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank
by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and
shaking gently to combine.
NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added
to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline
before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer
directly into the generator's fuel tank.
 Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
 Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
ETHANOL-BLENDED FUELS
NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of
federal law and will damage the unit and void your
warranty.
CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
See Figure 6.
DANGER:
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the generator, make sure the unit is
sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
generator cool for at least five minutes before adding gas.
ALWAYS fill the fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned
off.
 Remove the fuel cap slowly.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON ( I ) position.
 Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. below the top of the fuel neck.
 Replace and secure the fuel cap.
