    PRE-OPERATION CHECKS CHECK ENGINE OIL. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure generator is located on stable and level surface with engine stopped. Remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level. If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with suitable oil (see table) to upper level line.
  • Page 14 CHECK ENGINE FUEL. Do not refuel while smoking or near open flame or other such potential fire hazards. Otherwise fire accident may occur. Check fuel level at fuel level gauge. If fuel level is low, refill with unleaded automotive gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: .
  • Page 15 CHECKING COMPONENT PARTS Check following items before starting engine : Fuel leakage from fuel hose, etc. Bolts and nuts for looseness. Components for damage or breakage. Generator not resting on or against any adjacent wiring. CHECK GENERATOR SURROUNDINGS. Make sure you review each warning in order to prevent fire hazaed. Keep area clear of inflammables or other hazardous materials.
  • Page 16 NOTE : The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that all separately derived AC systems be grounded per Article 250-26. Manufacturer has added a grounding lug type terminal per Article 250-26 (a) from the noncurrent-carrying metal parts to the conductor to be grounded. Manufacturer does not supply the required grounding conductor or grounding electrode because it would be impossible to cover every exception and all local code requirements.

  • Page 20 If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator imme- diately and call a qualified electrician to check generator and the appliances. Failure to do so may result in electric shock hazard or loss of life. Checkthe AC breaker is “ON”. If the breaker is “OFF, set the breaker “ON”.

    6. WAlTAGE INFORMATION Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed maintain its use. with this generator. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
  • Page 28 VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which recuces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool. The use of improper size or gauge of extension cords may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool or appliance.
