Never mix oil with gasoline for this
engine. This is a four cycle engine designed to run on pure gasoline. Oil is used for engine lubrication purposes only.
HOT SURFACES! Hot surfaces
will severely burn flesh. Do not touch engine, muffler,
and alternator until the unit has fully cooled.
Always 
keep a fire extinguisher accessible
while operating unit.
•All installation, maintenance, repair and operation of this equipment should be performed by qualified persons only in accordance with national, state, and local codes.
Improper use of
electric generators can cause electric shock, injury, and death! Take all precautions described in this manual to reduce the possibility of electric shock.
•Verify that all components of the generator are clean and in good condition prior to operating the generator. Be sure that the insulation on all cables and power cords is not damaged. Always repair or replace damaged components before operating the generator. Always keep panels, shields, etc.
in place when operating the generator.
•Always wear dry protective clothing, gloves, and insulated footwear.
•Always operate the generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do not operate the generator in wet, rainy, or poorly ventilated areas.
•Never use the generator as a work surface.
If the generator becomes wet for
any reason, be absolutely certain that it is completely clean and dry prior to attempting use!
•Always shut the equipment off prior to moving the unit.

Glossary of TermsCC(Cubic Centimeter) - measure of the engine's cylinder volume above the piston when measured with the piston fully retracted by the crankshaft.
Four Stroke Engine - an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes; intake, compression, power, and exhaust during two separate revolutions of the engine's crankshaft.
RPM - Revolutions per Minute. Typically this is for measuring engine crankshaft or alternator rotor speed.

Alternator - an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
Hertz (Hz) - a unit of frequency of alternating current measured in cycles per second.
Brushless - an alternator that creates a magnetic field in the rotor that induces electrical current in stationary conductors which are wound as coils. By contrast, brush type generators commute electrical current from the rotor to the stator through carbon spring loaded brushes that make electrical contact through commutator bars.
AC (Alternating Current) - an electrical current that reverses its direction periodically or at a frequency.
DC (Direct Current) - an electrical current that moves in one direction therefore having a polarity.
Volt (V) - a measurement unit of work needed to move an electric charge.
Ampere (A) or (I) - a unit to define the rate of flow of electrical current.
Watt (W) - a unit of electrical power calculated by W = V x I or
W = volts x amps.
Kilowatt (KW) - a unit of watt measurement equal to W/1000. For example: 5000W = 5KW.
Power Factor (PF) - the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit.
Kilo
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - a circuit breaker that opens when leakage current is detected.
Thermal Circuit Breaker (CB) - a circuit breaker that opens when current exceeds the circuit breaker's current limit.
Selecting the proper location can significantly increase performance, reliability and life of the generator.
For best results locate the generator in an environment that is clean and dry. Dust and dirt in the unit retain moisture and increase wear of moving parts.
INSTRUCTIONSCheck engine oil level. Oil is NOT mixed with the gasoline, however adequate oil supply is necessary for proper engine lubrication. Refer to the Engine Manual for SAE, API and fill quantity specifications. Unit is shipped without oil in engine.
