Any content of any section in the manual shall not be reproduced without permission. 

Pay careful attention to  all  warnings  and  safety  information  contained  within  this 

manual. 

If you experience a problem or have any questions about our product, please contact 

a specified dealer. 

Before operating this generator, read all the information contained within this manual.  

In order to  guarantee safe and reliable service  the  generator  must  be  operated  in 

accordance with the procedures provided.  Operation of the generator outside  of  the 

provided  parameters  could result  in  potential  injuries  to  personnel  or  equipment 

damage. 

When in operation the exhaust from this generatorcontains poisonous carbon monox-

ide gas.  USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTSIDE,  IN  A  NON-CONFINED  AREA. 

This generator should only be operated in a well ventilated area with  several  feet  of 

clearance on each side.

This generator produces high heat while in operation.   The generator will remain hot 

for several minutes following shut-down.  Do not touch hot surfaces, especially exha-

ust system components. Observe all warning signs  labeled  “HOT”.   The  generator 

should not be placed in an enclosed structure or building for storage until it has com-

pletely cooled.

Step 1: Turn on the gasoline valve lever(Fuel lever).

Principle: 

Close the choke valve (see Figure 8) to increase the concentration of gasoline to air

in the carburetor.  The generator is easier to start with a higher concentration of fuel 

to air.  Once the engine is running, open the choke valve, this allows the air/fuel ratio

to return to normal operating levels.  

ATTENTION!

Before starting the engine, do not connect any electric equipment. 

Step 2:Turn on the engine’s ON/OFF switch.  

Step 3: Adjust the choke valve

Principle:

The gasoline on/off valve allows gasoline to flow through 

the valve when in the “ON” position.   When  the  valve is 

in the “OFF” position the flow of gasoline is shut off.  

Turn the valve lever to the “ON” position (see Figure 6) 

and wait one minute for the gasoline to enter the carb-

uretor completely (when using the generator for the first

time).  Then, carry out the following steps.

Principle:

The switch has two positions.  The “I” position is “on” or

 in electrical terminology “closed”.   The switch in the “I”

 position allows current to flow through the switch.  The 

 “O” position is “open” or “of f”.The switch in this position

 disconnects, or  “opens”  the circuit and doesn’t  allow 

 current to flow through the switch.  

Press “I” of  the ON/OFF switch. (see Figure 7)

To cold-start the machine, first switch the choke valve to the position ON .

 (see Figure 8). 

NOTE!

To hot-start (the machine has been running)  the  choke  valve  shall  be  turned to the 

position OFF (see Figure 9). 

Step 4:Start the engine.
Principle:

The product has a hand-pull starter.  The force applied when pulling the cord will dir-

ectly influence the engines initial rotational time and speed.  A proper technique when

pulling,using the right distance and force, will ensure consistent start-ups.

Pull three times slowly on the cord to allow mixed 

air to enter into engine cylinder.  Then slowly pull 

on the recoil starter handle, shown in Figure 10, until 

a slight resistance is felt.Then pull briskly to start

the engine. Gently return the cord into the gener-

ator  to  avoid  damage  to the starter or housing.

Never allow the  cord  to  snap  back. In general, 

startup should succeed with less than 3 brisk pulls.

ATTENTION!

Always return the grip slowly.

Step 5:Observe the following procedure following successful startup of the generator.

a. Turn choke valve  to  the open position (see Figure 9) once the engine has  run for 

    more than 20 seconds (more than 30 seconds in colder weather).

b. Check that the engine is running smoothly  for  1-2  minutes before turning on  the 

    power supply.

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Important Reminder

:

Afterall electrical equipmentis disconnected from the generator,the engine should be

  idle for 1-2 min before you attempt to shut down the generator.

If  the  engine  is  forcibly  shut  down, while connected equipment is drawing power

  from the generator, it will make the next startup more difficult.

The equipment should out of reach of children at all times.

Step 1: Disconnect all electrical equipment.

Shut down outer electrical  equipment  and 

unplug the power plugs. 

Step 2: Turn off the engine switch.

Press position “O” on the engine switch.

Step 3:Turn off the oil valve lever.

Turn the oil valve lever to the off position 

CONTROL PANEL INTRODUCTION

ATTENTION

In an emergency, the simplest way to shut down an engine is: turn the engine switch 

to position“O”. This is only necessary in the event of an emergency, because it can 

potentially damage the generator.

These are the shut down steps as seen below

2 3 4

1.Engine ON/OFF switch

2.Low oil level indicator light (yellow) this light is off when the engine is off or when in

   normal operation with adequate oil. 

   a.If the engine is low on oil when you shut it down, the engine will fail to start up. 

The yellow light will turn on when you attempt to pull-start the engine (Usually vi-

      sible at the moment of start up)

   b.If the engine runs low on oil during operation, the engine will automatically stop 

      running within 10 seconds. The yellow light may momentarily flicker on as the

      engine turns off.

3.Engine load status indicator light (red). This lamp is off when power supply is nor-

   mal. 

   If the indicator light blinks when the engine is running: 

   a. Blinking once indicates low-voltage protection, caused by engine rotation speed

       not meeting the specified requirements. 

   b. Blinking twice signifies the engine is over-heated, caused by too high temperat-

       ure. 

   c. Blinking three times signifies over-load protection , caused by an excessive ele-

       ctrical load. 

   d. Blinking four times signifies there is an electrical problem most likely caused by

       a short circuit.

       In any of the above cases, when the red light turns on the power supply will be

       disconnected automatically. The user needs to stop the engine and resolve the 

       problem before the power supply will be restored.

4.Power supply indicator light (green). The green indicator light is on when the gen-

   erator is operating normally.

5.Safety grounding bolt.

6.The total output power of the AC output socket (models vary by geographic area)

   is the rated output power of the generator.

4.Fuel lever. 

a. Turn the fuel lever to the “Closed” position 

b. Screw off the sediment cup on the bottom of the fuel 

    lever.

c. Clean it with gasoline and wipe the off excess. 

d. Check the gasket of the seal ring and replace it if it is 

    damaged. 

e. returnthe fuel lever to the original position if everything 

    looks correct.

5.Gas tank strainer

a. Removegas tank cover and strainer

b. Clean the strainer with gasoline or replace it if it is 

    damaged. 

c. Wipe strainer and insert it into the gas tank.

6. Gas tank

a.Clean the gas tank with gasoline. 

STORAGE

If the generator has not been used in 6 months or longer, make the following prepar-

ations before storage. 

1.Place the generator in an area that is low humidity and well-ventilated.

2.Turn  off  the  fuel  lever  and  drain  the  residual  fuel  from  the  fuel tank. Leaving 

   gasoline in the tank for a long time will  possibly  damage  the  tank and may make

   startup more difficult.

3.Loosen  the  drain  screw  of  the  carburetor  to  drain  any  remaining  gasoline  in 

4. Replace engine oil.

    The used engine oil will produce lots of oil remnants.  If the generator is not in use

    for a long time, a lots of thick oil deposits mayremain. The  generator  components

    maybe damaged when used the next time.  

5. Check if screws and bolts are loosened. Tighten again if necessary. 

6. Carefully clean the gasoline generator with an oil-dipped cloth. 

    Spray anti-corrosion agent if necessary.  

    Do not clean the generator with water.
