Setup

Before first use, ensure the generator is placed on a flat, stable surface in a well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Add Engine Oil:

   Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick. Using the provided oil funnel, carefully add 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 30 recommended) until it reaches the 'FULL' mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.

2. Add Fuel:

   Fill the fuel tank with minimum 87 octane unleaded gasoline. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling. Do not refuel when the engine is hot or running.

3. Connect Spark Plug:

   Ensure the spark plug cap is firmly connected to the spark plug. This is crucial for ignition.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to start and operate your generator safely:

1. Starting the Engine:

   Turn the 5-in-1 knob to the "CHOKE" position. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly and completely. Once the engine starts, gradually rotate the knob to the "ON" position.
