CAUTION:

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL

COMPLETELY AND

CAREFULLY BEFORE

OPERATING THIS GASOLINE

ENGINE Failure to follow all

instructions as listed below

may result in electrical shock,

fire, and/or serious personal

injury.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Engine: 2-stroke; Single Cylinder

Horizontal Shaf.

Start Type:Recoil Start

Rated Power: 800W

Fuel Capacity: 1.2 gallons

Run Time:5.5 hours

SAFETY WARNINGS

1) Do not operate this generator

indoors or in enclosed spaces.

Emissions created by this

generator are harmful.

2) Do not operate the generator in

wet conditions. This will increase

the risk of electrical shock.

3) Do not directly connect the

generator to a household power

supply.

4) Do not smoke while refueling

the generator. Do not overflow the

fuel when refueling the generator.

Stop the generator before

refueling. Gasoline is

flammable and the sparks may

cause it to ignite. Keep the

generator at least 3 feet away

from flammable materials.

5) Electrical equipment,

including any lines and plug

connections, should be

insulated.

6) The circuit breakers should

be matched with the generator

equipment. If the circuit

breakers need replacement,

they must be replaced with a

breaker that has identical

ratings and performance

characteristics.

7) Do not operate the generator

before grounding it. An

ungrounded generator could

cause electrical shock to occur.

8) The temperature of the

environment will affect the

overcurrent protector. Please

change the protector so it will fit

with the local environment

temperature.

manufacturer recommended fuel

and oil.

16) Do not attempt to connect or

disconnect load connections

while standing in water or on wet

or soggy ground.

17) Keep all electrical equipment

clean and dry.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING THE

GENERATOR

Connect a #10 AWG

groundingwire (not included) from

the generator grounding log on the

front of the generator to a

grounding rod (not included). The

grounding rod must be an earth-

driven copper or brass rod

(electrode) which can adequately

ground the generator.

(See Figure A).

PRE-START CHECKS:

1. Check to make sure the Engine

Power Switch is in its "OFF"

position. (See Figure C)

CAUTION! Your Warranty is VOID

if the Engine’s Fuel Tank is not

filled with the proper mixture (50:1)

of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle

oil before each use. Before each

use, check the fuel level. Do not

run the Engine with an improper

unleaded gasoline/2-cycle oil

mixture. Running the Engine with

an improper mixture WILL

permanently damage the Engine.

2.The Fuel Tank holds

approximately 1 gallon of fuel.

3. To obtain the proper gasoline

and 2-cycle oil mixture, mix 2.5

fluid ounces of 2-cycle oil with 1

gallon of unleaded gasoline into

an approved container. Then

slowly shake the container to

thoroughly mix the gasoline/2-

cycle oil.(See Figure B.)

4.Remove the Fuel Tank Cap

and check the fuel level. (See

Figure C.)

4.Turn the Engine Choke Lever

to its "CHOKE" position. Set the

Choke Lever in the "RUN"

position when starting a warm

Engine. (See Figure E.)

5.Then turn the Engine Power

Switch to its "ON" position. (See

Figure F.)

6.Grasp the Recoil Starter

Handle and pull slowly until

resistance is felt. While holding

the Handle, allow the Starter

Rope to rewind slowly. Then, pull

the Starter Handle with a rapid,

full arm stroke. Once again while

holding the Handle, allow the

Rope to rewind slowly. Repeat as

necessary, until the Engine

starts. (See Figure G.) warm up

for five minutes after starting with

no electrical load.

5. After the Engine starts and

warms up, slowly move the

Choke Lever to its "RUN"

position. (See Figure H.)

IMPORTANT: Allow the Engine

to run at

6. no load until warm (approx. 3

minutes) after each start-up to

allow the Engine to stabilize.

EQUIPMENT OPERATION

1.The total combined load

through the outlet on the

Generator must not exceed the

rated maximum power of the

unit.

2.Always reduce the load if the

AC Circuit Breaker turns off.

Once the load is reduced, press

the Breaker to reset the

Generator and continue

operation. (See Figure I.)

3.Allow the Engine to run at no

load until warm (approx. 3

minutes) after each start-up to

allow the Engine to stabilize.

4.To fill the Fuel Tank, first wipe

off the Fuel Tank Cap and the

surrounding area. (See Figure

C.)

5.Unscrew, and remove the Fuel

Tank Cap (See Figure C.)

6.Remove the Strainer and

remove any dirt and debris.

Then replace the Strainer. (See

Figure C.)

7.Fill the Fuel Tank to about 1

inch under the fill neck of the

Tank with the pre-mixed

unleaded gasoline/2-cycle oil

mixture.

8.Then replace the Fuel Tank

Cap (See Figure C.)

TO START THE ENGINE

1.Check to make sure the

Engine Switch is in its "OFF"

position.

2.IMPORTANT:Make sure to

unplug any load from the

Generator before starting to any

appliance, tool, or equipment.

3.Turn the Engine Fuel Switch to

its "ON" position. (See Figure D.)

1.Remove all electrical load

devices from the Generator. (See

Figure K.)

2.Allow the Engine to run for

approximately 3 minutes with no

electrical load.3.Turn off the

Generator’s Power Switch to stop

the Engine.(See Figure L.)

4.Turn the Fuel Switch to its

"OFF" position. (See Figure M.)

5.Allow the Generator to

completely cool before

storing.with no electrical load.

MAINTENANCE

Many maintenance

procedures, including those

not detailed in this manual, will

need to be performed by a

qualified technician for safety.

If you have any doubts allow

the Engine to stabilize.about

your ability to safely service

the equipment or Engine, have

a qualified technician service

the equipment instead.

Air Filter Element Maintenance:

1.Wipe off the Air Cleaner Cover.

Then remove the Cover. (See

Figure N.)

2.Remove the Air Filter Element.

3.Wash the Air Filter Element in

warm water and mild detergent

several times. Rinse. Squeeze

out excess water and allow it to

dry completely. Soak the Filter in

lightweight oil briefly, then

squeeze out the excess oil.

4.Install the new Air Filter

Element or the cleaned Filter.

Secure the Air Cleaner Cover

before use.

4.Plug the power cord of the 120

volt appliance/tool into the 120

volt AC Outlet on the Generator.

(See Figure J.)

5.NOTE: Do not allow the

generator to completely run out

of fuel with devices attached. A

generator’s output may sharply

spike as it runs out of fuel,

causing damage to attached

devices.

6.When finished using the

appliance/tool, unplug its power

cord from the AC Outlet on the

Generator. (See Figure K.)

7.For DC current, plug into the

DC plug located on the side of

the generator. To charge your

car battery, connect the alligator

clips to the corresponding

terminals on your battery, The

red lead goes to the positive (+)

terminal and the black lead goes

to the negative (-) terminal. This

Spark Plug Maintenance:

1.Disconnect Spark Plug Wire

from end of plug. Clean out

debris from around Spark Plug.

2.Using the spark plug wrench

provided, remove the Spark

Plug.

3.Inspect the Spark Plug:If the

electrode is oily, clean it using a

clean, dry rag. If the electrode

has deposits on it, polish it using

emery paper. If the white

insulator is cracked or chipped,

the Spark Plug needs to be

replaced.

4.When installing a new Spark

Plug, adjust the Plug’s gap to the

specification on the Technical

specification chart and in the

FIGURE N

FIGURE O

illustration below. Do not pry

against the electrode or the

insulator, the Spark Plug can be

damaged. (See Figure O.)

5.Install the new Spark Plug or

the cleaned Spark Plug into the

Engine. Gasket-style: Finger-

tighten until the gasket contacts

the cylinder head, then about

1/2-2/3 turn more.

Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten

until the plug contacts the head,

then about 1/16 turn more.
