experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire department to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.

Never operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.

NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.

Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the unit outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.

ONLY run generator outdoors and away from air intakes.

NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut if off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. The carbon monoxide alarms should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety standards for carbon monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).

Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead batteries.

SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.

Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.

Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite.

Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel before starting engine.

Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling dangerous fumes.

NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance's pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in the appliance.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

THE GENERATOR (STATOR WINDING) IS ISOLATED FROM THE FRAME AND FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN.

ELECTRICAL DEVICES REQUIRE A GROUNDED RECEPTACLE PIN CONNECTION WILL NOT FUNCTION IF THE RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

CAUTION: NOT FOR INTERRUPTING CURRENT.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE INDOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for your protection. Always complete the ground path from the generator to an external ground source as instructed in the section labeled "Grounding Instructions" in the Preparation section of this manual.

The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry. Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the generator.

Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin.

NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as "back feeding". This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection devices.

If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a qualified electrician install the appropriate equipment in accordance with local electrical codes. Or, check with your utility company to see if it can install an appropriate power transfer switch.

For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing backup power to the home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading to a generator failure.

1. Read all the instructions before using the product.

2. Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered to protect if from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area during generator use.

3. Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities.

If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.

Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.

1. Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

2. Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.

3. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.

4. Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.

5. NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as "back feeding". This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection devices.

If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a qualified electrician install the appropriate equipment in accordance with local electrical codes. Or, check with your utility company to see if it can install an appropriate power transfer switch.

1. No smoking while charging a battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame. Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames / sparks away when charging a battery.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The ground terminal on the frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding wire securely to the ground terminal. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.

The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. Examples given below illustrate a few of the ways in which a good ground source may be established.

A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If an pipe is unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the ground source. The pipe should be 3/4 inch trade size or larger and the outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used it should be at least 5/8 inch diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used it should be at least 1/2 inch diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8 feet. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 feet down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator, must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be “Double Insulated”.

It is recommended to:

1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to appliance.

We strongly recommend that all applicable federal, state and local regulations relating to grounding specifications be checked and followed.

APPLICATIONS

1. Replace the element in the air filter unit.
2. Replace the air filter cover and rotate knob clockwise to secure.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the generator. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

For best performance, engine lubricant should be changed after every 100 hours or 6 months of operation.

1. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
2. Unscrew the oil drain plug and remove.
3. Allow lubricant to drain completely 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.

1. Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten securely.
2. Refill with lubricant following the instructions in the Checking/Adding Lubricant section. For amount of lubricant needed to refill, see Product Specifications earlier in this manual or the accompanying engine manual, if applicable.
3. Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved disposal site. See your local retailer for more information.

SPARK PLUG

The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits in order to ensure proper engine operation. To check:

1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any dirt from around base of spark plug.
3. Remove spark plug using spark plug wrench or socket.
4. Inspect spark plug for damage, and clean with a wire brush before reinstalling. If insulator is cracked or chipped, spark plug should be replaced. For replacement spark plug, see Product Specifications earlier in this manual or the accompanying engine manual, if applicable.

5. Measure plug gap. The correct gap is 0.024–0.028 in. (0.60-0.70 mm). To widen gap, if necessary, carefully bend the ground (top) electrode. To lessen gap, gently tap ground electrode on a hard surface.

6. Seat spark plug in position; thread in by hand to prevent cross-threading.

7. Tighten with wrench to compress washer. If spark plug is new, use 1/2 turn to compress washer appropriate amount. If reusing old spark plug, use 1/8 to 1/4 turn for proper washer compression.
