FEATURES

KNOW YOUR GENERATOR

See Figure 1.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the 
information on the product and in this operator’s manual as 
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before 
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all  operating 
features and safety rules.

120 V AC RECEPTACLES

Your generator has two single phase, 60 Hz outlets that  
are 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp receptacles and one 120 Volt AC 
30 Amp RV receptacle. These can be used for operating 
appropriate appliances, electrical lighting, tools, and motor 
loads.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The circuit breaker is provided to protect the generator 
against electrical overload. The circuit breaker may be reset 
by pressing the circuit breaker reset button.

AIR FILTER

The air filter helps to limit the amount of dirt and dust drawn 
into the unit during operation.

AUTO IDLE SWITCH

The auto idle switch is used to control the speed of the 
engine and conserve fuel. When the switch is in the 

ON (I)

position and no appliances are connected to the unit, the 
engine will idle. If an appliance is added, the engine speed 
will increase to power the item. If the appliance is removed, 
the engine will return to idle.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF

The generator’s carbon monoxide sensor is designed to 
monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during gen-
erator operation. If the unit is positioned incorrectly and 
carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the LED on 
the sensor will flash red and the generator will automatically 
shut down. Leave the area immediately and relocate to an 
open outdoor area. Ventilate the area thoroughly before 

occupying again. Ensure the generator is located in an 
open, outdoor area and point exhaust away from occupied 
structures before restarting.

NOTE: 

After a shutoff event has occured, the LED will con-

tinue to flash red for up to 20 minutes. Once the generator 
is relocated and CO levels are safe, the generator can be 
restarted even if the light is still flashing.

FUEL TANK

The fuel tank has a capacity of 3.3 gallons.

GROUND TERMINAL

The ground terminal is used to assist in properly grounding 
the generator to help protect against electrical shock. Con-
sult with a qualified local electrician for grounding require-
ments in your area.

LOW OIL SHUT DOWN PROTECTOR

The low oil sensor causes the engine to stop if the level of 
lubricant in the crankcase is insufficient. The engine may 
not be restarted until sufficient engine lubricant has been 
added to the generator.

OIL CAP/DIPSTICK

Remove the oil fill cap to check and add lubricant to the 
generator when necessary.

OIL DRAIN PLUG

When changing the engine lubricant, unscrew and remove 
the oil drain plug to allow old engine lubricant to be drained.

RESET BUTTON

The reset button is used to restore power if an overload  
occurs. To restore power, remove the last electrical load 
added, then depress the reset button.

STARTER GRIP AND ROPE

The starter grip and rope is used (along with the engine 
switch) to start the generator’s engine.
