deteriorations, such as chafed or spongy hose, loose
or missing clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All defects
should be corrected before operation.
14
The generator should be operated serviced, and refueled

under the follow Conditions:
a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the
generator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows
are open; avoid areas where vapors may be trapped,
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
such as pits, garages, cellars, excavations, etc.
DANGER-CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD; the

poisonous odorless, invisible gas which, if
breathed, may cause death or serious personal
injury. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using
the generator, shut it off and get to fresh air right away;
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
b. Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and temperatures
are important for air cooled units. Temperatures should
not exceed 104ºF ambient (40ºC).
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.
c. Refuel the generator in a well lighted area. Avoid fuel
spills and never refuel while the generator is running.
Allow engine to cool for two minute prior to refueling.
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
d. Do not refuel near open flames, pilot lights, or
sparking electrical equipment such a power tools,
welders and grinders.
e. The muffler and cleaner must be installed and kept

in good condition at all times as they function as flame
arrest if backfiring occurs.
f. Do not smoke near the generator.
Ensure that generator is properly grounded (see
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
Grounding the Generator section in this manual).

To prevent surging that may possibly damage equipment
do not allow engine to run out of fuel when electrical

loads are applied.
When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line

to the equipment.
Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even
when the generator is not operating. This can damage

the generator or cause personal injury.
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all
21
fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.

may result in personal injury.
To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other
engine or generator surfaces which became hot during
23
operation.
Do not alter or modify the heat shield.

NOISE CAUTIONS
The generator can produce high noise levels. Prolonged
exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is a hazard to
hearing. Always wear ear protection when operating or
working around the generator when it is running.
DEFINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage
1
to your generator it is necessary to know total wattage
of the connected load. To determine which load and or
appliances your generator will run follow these steps.
2
Check wattage requirements by referring to the loads
nameplate or by calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
3
You can get help for calculation using the Table 1
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only give
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts. 1 kW =
1,000 watts.
4
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their
rated wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 ½ to 4 times the listed wattage for starting
equipment powered by electric motors.
5
The generator's rated watts should match or exceed
the total number of watts required for the equipment
you want to run.
6
The altitude and temperature can modify the generator's
ratings. Use the Table 2 to calculate the generator's
rating, multiply the factor x rated output in the generator's
specs when the condition is not at 21ºC at the sea level.
Always connect first to the generator the heaviest load,
7
and then add other items one at a time.
