This manual covers operation and maintenance of the generator. All information in this publication is based on the latest production information available at the time of approval for printing, Pay special attention to statements preceded by the following words PMVARNINES Indicates a strong possibilty of severe personal injury, loss of life and equipment damage if instructions are not followed, [CAUTION] Indicates a possibilty of personal injury, or equipment damage if instructions are not followed. NOTE Gives helpful information. If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator, consult a dealer selling the generator, A WARNING The generator is designed to give safe and dependable service If operated according to instructions Hl Do not operate the generator before you have read and understood the instructions, Failure to do so could result in personal Injury or equipment damage.1, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A\Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire. Do not fil the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running, Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank, Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling, If fuel is spilt, wipe it off and let dry before starting the engine. AXDo not place inflammables near the generator. Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other inflammables near the generator. AXDo not operate the generator inside a room,cave,tunnel,or other insufficiently ventilated area Always operate it in a well-ventilated area,otherwise the engine may become overheated and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any sttucture or building during use. if the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases. AXDo not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling syste, and may become overheated if it is enclosed A\Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator, However, the generator will viotate on an inegular 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. A\Pay attention to the wiring 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 or generator burnout. AXDo not operate in rain or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow if wet, wipe and dry it well before starting Do not pour water directly over the generator, not wash it with water. AXDo not contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial power line may short circuit the generator and run it Use the transfer switch for connecting to domestic circuits. AXNo smoking while handling the battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electtic arcing or open flame. Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when handling the battery.Safety symbols AN AX A A ® & @ © 1. Precautions that involve your safety 2. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the generator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open. 3.

I Only operate generator in a dry, well ventilated area @ Keep exhaust pipe clear of foreign objects. | Keep generator away from open flame. Il Keep generator on a stable and level surface. I Do not block generator ai vents with paper or other material 5, OPERATING PROCEDURES 5.1 STARTING THE ENGINE Electric start (a) Connect the red cable to the battery posttive pole and the black cable to the battery negative pole firmly. I Use a battery rated 12V4 84H oF larger PMG I The battery discharges itself even when not connected, therefore it is necessary to recharge it once a month, Charge the battery in a fully ventilated location. ll Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can be highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging, Il Be sure to confirm Battery polarity. Connect positive (+) terminal first when mounting battery, and disconnect negative (-) terminal first when dismounting. Ml Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention, especially if your eyes are affected.(b) Turn the Key to “ON” position. (c) Put the engine speed level In_the "RUN" position gLiiy (9) Tum the Key to “START position, then move your hand from the Key as soon as engine started. A. WARNING Do not operate the electric starter continuously for more than 5 seconds, even if the engine dose not start I It the generator failed to start, set the key fo the “ON" position and wait for about 10 seconds before retrying. Never tum the key switch to the START position while generator is running. 5.2 USING ELECTRIC POWER (a) Check the digital display for proper voltage. IW This generator Is thoroughly tested and adjusted in the factory. If he generator does not produce the specified voltage, consult your nearest dealer selling our Generator, (0) Tum off the switch(es) of the electical appliance(s) before connecting to the generator.(c) Insert the plugis) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle. (d) Check the amperage of the socket,and be sure not to take a curent exceed the exceed the specified amperage. ‘Open the socket waterproof coves, Inser the plug into receptacie. Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances does not exceed the rated output of the generator PATGIIN NOTE: Be sure to ground the generator if the connected electrical equipment is grounded When the citcuit breaker or no-fuse breaker tuins off during operation, the generator is overloaded or the appliance is defective. Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and/or generator for overloading or defect and repair as necessary. (e) Check the AC CIRCUIT BREAKER is "ON". if the breaker is "OFF", set the breaker “ON”. 5,3 STOPPING THE GENERATOR (a) Tum off the power switch of the electtic equipment or unplug the cord from receptacle of the generator.(b) Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down at no-load before stopping. (c) Set the engine switch to "OFF" position or put the speed level to the STOP position, 5.4 OIL SENSOR i The oll sensor detects the fall in oil in the crankcase and automatically stops the engine when the oil level falls down below the safety limit. @ When engine has stopped automatically, check the oil level. Ii If the engine does not start by usual starting procedures, check the oil level mRUN msTOP6.

All the works listed in the service plan are to be carried out in accordance with the operating and service instructions for the motor. We recommend that these works be carried out by an authorized service station. 6.3 CHECKING ELECTRICAL SAFETY The electrical safety may only be checked by personnel authorised for this task,7. "HOW-TO" MAINTENANCE 7.1 ENGINE OIL CHANGE Change engine oil every 50 hours. (for a new engine, change oll after 20 hour.) (9) Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil filler cap while the engine is warm. NOTE: Please use a container to load the used oll for protecting environment. (b) Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil filler cap. Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified quantity If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient, the engine damage will result and Its life will be greatly shortened 7.2 SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt induced through improperly installed, improperly serviced, or inadequate elements damages and wears out engines Keep the element always clean, (Q) Take out the air cleaner, clean it well in kerosene and ary it (b) After wetting the element by clean ‘engine oll squeeze it tight by hand. (c) Lastty, put the element in the case ‘and install it securely. (eee Naat =i}8.
