IMPORTANT! Safety Instructions All Operators Must Read These Instructions Before Use Misuse of the generator may result in injury to the user and/ or damage to property. Read, understand and follow all CAUTION and WARNING statements contained in this manual. mWARNING! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. mCAUTION! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. mDANGER! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not followed, will result in death or serious injury. Improper use of the generator will invalidate the warranty, relieve the manufacturer from all liabilities. The user will consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to himself/herself or others. General Safety mDANGER! Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

• Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

• ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning. mDANGER! Ifyousmellpropanegas,shutopropaneto the generator at the propane cylinder.

1. The battery pack supplied with your generator is only

partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged completelybeforeyouusethetoolforthersttime.

2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge

cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging

process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest whenitscapacityfallstojust80%ofitscapacitywhen new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your generator, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Donotthrowthebatterypackintoanopenreasthis

poses a risk of explosion.

6. Donotignitethebatterypackorexposeittore.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive

discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect the battery and the tool from overloads. Overloads

will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries

that have been dropped from a height of more than 3 feet (1 meter) or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged.

DANGER! Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

• Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

• ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning. mWARNING! This generator will be used ONLY with cord and plug connected equipment, National Electric Code does not require that the unit be grounded.

OFF Fig.24 Engineswitch17 NOTE: The battery may require charging before the generator can be electric started. In this case, start the engine by recoil start described below.

8. Allow the engine to run for 15 - 30 seconds, then move

the choke lever all the way RIGHT to the RUN position (Fig. 25). Recoil start The generator can also be started by pulling the recoil grip, as described below.

1. Follow the step 1 to step 6 in Electric start section.

2. Grab the recoil grip and pull it out. Keep pulling until the

engine runs (Fig. 26). NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting; return it gently to its original place.

3. Allow the engine to run for 15 - 30 seconds, then move

the choke lever all the way RIGHT to the RUN position (Fig. 25). PowerManagement The generator can provide 4100 surge wattage and 3300 running wattage. Before plugging in any load, make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these steps.

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This is

the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the items running.

3. Estimate the surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge

wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2. Example Totalrunningwatt1690+Higheststartingwatt1600 =Totalstartingwattneeded3290W To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to the generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine

as described above. Let the engine warm up by running with no load for 2 - 3 minutes.

smoothly and attached device operates properly).

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again, allow the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity as previously described. mWARNING! Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity may damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. mWARNING! While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
