Important Safety Information

WARNING: This Quick Reference Guide is not a substitute for reading the operator's manual. To reduce the risk of injury or death, read and understand the operator's manual before using this product. All pages reference the operator's manual.

Generator Placement and Carbon Monoxide Hazard

DANGER: Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poison you cannot see or smell. Never use inside a home or garage, even with doors and windows open. Use only outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. Avoid other generator hazards. Read the manual before use.

WARNING: Do not overload the generator or electrical cords. Consult the operation manual.

Step 1: Add Lubricant and Fuel

Lubrication

Remove the maintenance cover. Use a funnel to pour 10W-30 engine oil into the engine. Fill to the upper mark of the oil dipstick (labeled 'H').

Fueling

Use clean, fresh regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane.

Alternatively, use a propane/LPG hose with a regulator to connect a propane/LPG tank to the generator.

Fuel Indicator

Note the red line indicator for fuel level and the fuel cap.

Step 2: Start Generator

Preparation

Move the generator outside to a flat, level surface, away from doors, windows, and vents.

Starting with Gasoline

1. Add gasoline to the fuel tank.
2. Turn the starting dial switch to the 'START' position.
3. Pull the recoil starter slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
4. Turn the starting dial switch to the 'RUN' position.
5. Plug in items to be powered, using only grounded extension cords.

Starting with Propane/LPG

1. Ensure the propane tank is fully closed.
2. Connect the LPG gas hose to the propane fuel source.
3. Fully open the Propane/LPG cylinder knob.
4. Turn the starting dial switch to the 'START' position.
5. Pull the recoil starter twice.
6. Turn the starting dial switch to the 'RUN' position.
7. Plug in items to be powered, using only grounded extension cords.

Step 3: Shutdown and Storage

1. Remove any load from the generator.
2. Turn the starting dial switch to the 'OFF' position.
3. Turn the fuel valve knob to the 'OFF' position.

If the generator is to be stored for longer than 30 days, refer to the operator's manual for further instructions.

Gasoline to Propane/LPG

1. Connect the LPG gas hose to the propane fuel source.
2. Ensure the propane tank is fully closed.
3. Fully open the Propane/LPG cylinder knob.

Propane/LPG to Gasoline

To switch from propane/LPG to gasoline, turn off the propane supply at the tank. Add gasoline to the fuel tank and start the generator using the gasoline starting procedure.
