grounding Fastener

The generator is provided with a grounding fastener. Local electrical codes may
require this to be connected to a suitable earth connection. The generator neutral
is floating, which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from the grounding
fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins. Electrical devices, such as RCD,
requiring a grounded neutral may not operate properly from this generator.
special requirements
There may be Federal, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of
the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction:
• This generator has a floating neutral and is not for use on job sites requiring
a bonded neutral.

generator Location Figure
warning Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide could result in death, serious injury, headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea or fainting.
• Operate this product ONLY outdoors.
• Install a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm near the bedrooms.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors,
ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT operate this product inside any building, carport, porch, mobile
equipment, marine applications, or enclosure, even if windows and doors are open.
clearances and air Movement
Place generator outdoors in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO
NOT place generator where exhaust gas (a) could accumulate and enter inside or be
drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any
windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings that can allow exhaust gas
to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning generator.

starting the engine Figure
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a smooth, level surface.
NOTICE Failure to start and operate the unit on a smooth, level surface will cause the
unit not to start or shut down during operation. Placing unit on any surface that will
block underside cooling vent locations could result in a loss of power output. If output
is lost, turn unit off, relocate and let cool before restarting.
2. Make sure POWERSMART switch (3, k) is in off position (o).
3. Turn the engine switch (3, F) to the on position (i).
4. Turn fuel cap vent lever (2, a) to on position (i).
5. Push choke lever (3, c) to choke position (
NOTICE To start the engine for the very first time, after running out of fuel or after a
long period of storage, fill fuel tank to red fuel indicator as described in Add Fuel. It will
require more than several start attempts until the air in the fuel system has been purged.
6. Grasp recoil handle (3, e) and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull
rapidly to start engine.
• If engine starts, proceed to step 8.
• If engine fails to start, proceed to step 7.
warning Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let go which could cause broken
bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly
to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
7. Move choke lever to half choke position, and pull recoil handle twice.
• If engine fails to start, repeat steps 5 thru 6.
8. Slowly move choke lever to run position (
lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly, and then to run position
( ).
NOTICE If engine floods, move choke lever to run position (
engine starts.

) and crank until
NOTICE If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during
operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit is equipped with a low oil protection device. If so, oil must be at
proper level for engine to start.
warning Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or
damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death, serious
injury and/or property damage.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns resulting in
serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.
• Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a
spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as
the original parts.

connecting electrical Loads

Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables with the generator's 230 Volt
AC outlets. Inspect extension cables before each use. Check that all extension cables
are suitably rated and are not damaged. Keep extension cables as short as possible to
minimize voltage drop.
warning Damaged or overloaded electrical cables could overheat, arc, and
burn resulting in death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
• ONLY use suitably rated extension cables.
• Follow all safety instructions on extension cables.
• Inspect cables before each use.
1. Make sure the green output indicator light comes on (it may take up to three
seconds).
2. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
3. Plug in and turn on the desired 230 Volt AC, single phase, 50 Hz electrical loads.
NOTICE
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 60 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See Don't Overload Generator.
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity could damage generator
and/or electrical devices connected to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage capacity. See Don't Overload
Generator in the Operation section.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator.
warning Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT connect generator to a building's electrical system.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or
otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while
barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.

stopping the engine

1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles.
NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Move POWERSMART switch to off position (o).
3. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures
of engine and generator.
4. Turn engine switch to the off position (o).
5. Turn fuel cap vent lever to the off position (o).
