replacement.
Ventilation
Requirements
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the
oil level by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in..
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill the recommended oil
up to the top of the oil filler neck.
The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil
level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level
regularly.
Check the fuel level
Turn the fuel cap lever to “OFF” position before transporting.
Use automotive fuel (Unleaded or low leaded is preferred to minimize
combustion chamber deposits).
!! Don’t use fuel containing ethanol or alcohol: Fuel system damage or
engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain
ethanol or alcohol are not covered under the warranty.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
After refuelling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refuelled or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure the tank cap is
closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result from contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the
carburettor, into the engine.
It is normal for a little oil to appear under the air filter box if the generator
is running for a long period of time, or a lot of oil is in the engine. Wipe up
excess oil after each use and after stopping the generator.
GENERATOR USE
Starting the engine
Before starting the engine, disconnect any load from the DC receptacle.
1. Turn the fuel cap lever fully clockwise to the ON position.
2. Set the fuel valve in the “ON” position
3. Choke(Type 1) To start a cold motor shove the choke lever all the way
to the left. To restart a hot motor set the choke lever half-way.
4. Choke(Type 2) To start a cold motor pull out the choke completely to
close. To restart a hot motor, press the choke completely to open.
Choosing the right choke position is the key to starting the motor. You may
have to practise a few times to use the choke correctly
Shove the choke completely to the right to restart a hot motor.
Shove the choke to about halfway to restart a warm motor.
A hot motor will not start if there is too much fuel in the cylinder. If
this happens, wait five to ten minutes before trying again. Shove the
choke completely to the right and the motor should start.
5. Pull slightly on the start cord until you feel resistance and then yank
hard and swiftly.
Do not let the start cord retract by itself: guide it back by hand.
Hold the carrying handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling
over when you pull the start cord.
6. After the engine starts, allow the engine to run continuously and warm
up.
7. Press the choke in completely after the engine is started.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level
before troubleshooting in other areas.
Move to the right to deactivate
Before using the device once it is connected, switch off the ECO
switch.

Starting Key
The generator can be started by either the remote control or the starting
key.
• When starting the generator with the starting key, do not use the
remote to stop the generator.
• When starting the generator with the remote, do not use the starting
key to stop the generator.
• The emergency stop button can be used to stop the generator,
regardless of how it has been started.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburettor air –fuel mixture will be
excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller
diameter main fuel jet in the carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo
screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than
1,500m (4,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these
carburettor modifications.
Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 300m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude .
The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburettor modification is made.
Warning
• To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances , the generator
should be grounded. Connect an electric conductor (cable) of at least
1.5mm2 between the generator’s ground terminal and an external
ground source.
• Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such
back feed may electrocute utility workers before power is restored, the
generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical
system.
• Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle
• Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause
damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
• Do not modify or use the generator for any purpose other than it is
intended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
—Do not connect generators in parallel.
—Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
• When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a rubber
sheathed flexible cable,
• Limit length of extension cables 60m for cables of 1.5mm2 and 100m
for cables of 2.5mm2.
• Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
distribution network.
• The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you
use both at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for
AC and DC.
• Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-
up.
AC applications
1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green)
illuminates.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug it in to
the generator.
• Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator
light (red) may damage the generator . Marginal overloading that
temporarily lights the overload indicator light (red) may shorten the
service life of the generator.
• Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before
connecting them to the generator, if an appliance begins to operate
abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the
generator engine switch immediately. Then disconnect the appliance,
and examine it for signs of malfunction.
Output and Overload Indicators
The output indicator light (green) will remain lit during normal operating
conditions.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short in the connected
appliance, the output indicator light (green) will turn OFF, the overload
indicator light (red) will turn ON and current to the connected appliance will
be shut off.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) switches ON and
investigate the overload source.
When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red)
and the output indicator light (green) may go on simultaneously. This
is normal if the overload indicator light (red) goes off after about four
seconds.
If the overload indicator light (red) stays on, consult your dealer.
1. Connect the ground terminal
2. Start engine according to “STARTING THE ENGINE”
When the output indicator light (green) does not light and the
overload indicator light (red) lights instead, set the engine switch to
STOP, stop the engine at once and then start the engine again.
3. Confirm that the equipment to be used is switched off, and insert the
plug of the equipment to be used into the AC receptacle unit A.
4. Switch on the equipment output indicator light will light up. In case
of overload operation or when trouble occurs for the equipment
being used, the output indicator light (green) will go out, the overload
indicator light (red) will light continuously, and no power will be put
out. At this time, the engine will not stop, so that the engine must be
stopped by setting the respective engine switch to STOP.
When equipment requires a large starting power, the overload
indicator lights (red) and the output indicator light (green) may light
together for a short time, but this is no abnormality. After start of the
equipment, the overload indicator light (red) will go out after about 5
seconds and the output indicator light (green) will stay lit.
DC Applications
For charging 12V automotive batteries:
The generator cannot sense a sensibility load with the same power which
the manual indicates. It only can sense 40%-70% power which the manual
indicates.
Example:
Model G2000X
Generator rated output 2000VA
Frequency Power factor
AC 1.0 1800W
0.4-0.75 0-720W~1350W
DC 100W (12V/8.3A)
• When using the DC output, turn Smart Throttle to the OFF position.
The DC current will be below 5A if turning on the Smart Throttle
without AC current output.
• When charging batteries, person must be present to monitor the
voltage. Stop charging when the voltage of the batteries is above 16V.
Or it may cause battery explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
• To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect
charging cable first to the generator, then to the battery. Disconnect
cable first at the battery.
• Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a
vehicle, disconnect the vehicles grounded battery cable. Reconnect
the vehicle’s grounded battery cable after the charging cables are
removed. This procedure will prevent the possibility of short circuit and
sparks if you make accidental contact between a battery terminal and
the vehicle’s frame or body.
• Do not attempt to start an automobile engine while the generator still
connected to the battery. The generator may be damaged.
• ·Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. Do
not reverse the polarity of the charging cables, or serious damage to
the generator and/or the battery may occur.
• The battery may give off explosive gases; keep spark, flames and
cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face
shield.
• If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
• If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and call a physician.
• Electrolyte is poisonous.
• If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk
or magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician.
• KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN, PETS AND UNTRAINED
PEOPLE.
DC Overload
• The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use.
• An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit breaker. If this
happens, disconnect the DC load before pushing in the circuit breaker
to resume operation.
Stopping the engine
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF
position.
In normal use:
1. Switch off the connected equipment and pull the inserted plug out.
3. Turn the cap level fully counter clockwise to the “OFF” position.
