General Safety Information 
(Continued)
 
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 Terms
CC (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.
EPA - United States Environmental 
Protection Agency.
CARB or ARB - California 
Environmental Protection Agency Air 
Resources Board.
NEC - National Electrical Code
UL - Underwriters Laboratories
CSA - Canadian Standards Association
NEMA - National Electrical 
Manufacturers Association
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 Volt-Ampere (KVA) - the unit 
used for the apparent power in an 
electrical circuit. KVA = KW/PF.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit 
Interrupter) - 
a circuit breaker that 
opens when leakage current is detected.
Thermal Circuit Breaker (CB) - 
circuit breaker that opens when current 
exceeds the circuit breaker's current 
limit.
Pre-Operation
LOCATION
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.
INSTRUCTIONS
Check 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.
