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: 4-stroke; Single phase;
Electronic ignition
Start Type: Recoil
Rated Power: 5500W
Fuel Capacity: 5.6gallons
Run Time:9 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.
For customer service, call 1-800-348-5004 or email 1
For warranty purchase, please keep your dated proof of purchase. File or attach to the manual for safekeeping.
Please carefully read and save these instructions before attempting to assemble, maintain, install, or operate this
product. Observe all safety information to protect yourself and others. Failure to observe the instructions may

9) Keep your work area clean
and well lit. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep long
hair pulled back.
10) Do not overload the

generator to do the job of a large
one.
11) Do not use the generator if
the power switch does not
properly turn it on and off.
12) Do not use damaged
generator.
13) Wipe up any gasoline spills
that may have occurred during
refueling before starting the
generator.
14) Do not refill the generator
while it is running or while the
engine is still hot.
15) Use only engine
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 #6 AWG groundingwire
(not included) from the generator
grounding log on the front of the
generator to a grounding rod (not
included) that has been driven at
least 24 inches into the earth. The
grounding rod must be an earth-
driven copper or brass rod
(electrode) which can adequately
ground the generator.
Pre-Start Checks:
1. Check to make sure the Engine
Power Switch is in its "OFF"
position. (See Figure B.)
2. IMPORTANT! Prior to first using
the Generator , the Engine MUST
be filled with approximately 3/4
(0.63) quart of a high quality SAV
10W-30 grade engine oil. To do
so, unscrew and remove the
Engine’s Oil Dipstick located at the
bottom of the Engine Crankcase.
Fill the Engine’s Crankcase until
the oil level is level with the upper
marked line on the Dipstick. Then,
screw the Dipstick back into the
Oil Fill Hole.(See Figure C.)
3. Before the first use ,remove
the fuel Tank cap and fill the
Fuel Tank with unleaded
gasoline . Then replace the fuel
Tank Cap. Thereafter, check the
Engine’s Fuel Gauge for the
amount of unleaded gasoline in
the Fuel Tank. If necessary, refill
the Fuel Tank with unleaded
gasoline; the Generator must be
turned off and cooled down
before refilling the fuel tank.(See
Figure C.)
To Start The Engine
1,Make sure the electrical
powered tools/equipment that
will be used are not plugged into
the Generator while the Engine
is started.
2.Turn the 120 volt circuit
breaker to its "OFF"
position.(See Figure D.)
3.Open the Fuel Valve. (See
Figure E.)
4.Close the choke Lever to
about 1/8" clearance.(See Figure
E)

5. Turn the Engine Power
Switchto its "ON" position.(See
Figure F.)
Powering 120/240 Vott AC
Tools And Equipment:
Prior to powering tools and
equipment , make sure the
Generator’s rated voltage, and
amperage capacity(120V 47AMP,
240V 23AMP) isadequate to
supply all electrical loads that the
unit will power. If powering
exceeds the Generator’s
capacity, it may be necessary to
group one or more of the tools
and/or equipment for connection
to a separate generator.
Once the generator is running
select the desired voltage with
the voltage selector switch
located below the voltmeter, then
simply connect the power cords
to the correct outlet and turn on
applicable breaker(s).(See Figure
G.)
NOTE: The Generator features
AC Fuse circuit breakers to
protect the AC circuit in case of
an overload occur the Breaker
will "trip" to its "OFF" position. In
this case, refer to step#1 above
in this section. Then, reset the
circuit system by turning the
circuit Breaker to its "ON"
position. Restart the Generator
and continue powering the
remaining tools and
equipment.(See Figure D.)
When finished using the
generator ,shut the circuit
breakers off and then turn the
engine power switch to its "OFF"
120 and 240 volt AC Outlets
(See Figure E,F and G.)
Powering 12 Volt DC Tools
And Equipment:
1. Prior to powering a tool or
equipment make sure the
Generator’s rated voltage and
amperage capacity
(12VDC/8AMPs) is adequate to
supply all electrical loads that the
unit will power. If powering
exceeds the Generator’s
capacity, it may be necessary to
group one or more of the tools
and /or equipment for connection
to a separate generator.
2. Connect the Power Cord of a
12 VDC powered tool or
equipment to the DC Terminals.
NOTE: Make sure to connect the
positive(+) lead of the Power
Cord to the positive (+) terminal
on the Generator ,and connect
the negative(-) lead of the Power
Cord to the negative (-) terminal
on the generator.(See Figure H.)
3. if using only a 12 volt DC tool
or equipment turn both the 120V
and 240V breakers to their "OFF"
position.(See Figure D.)
4. Start and run the engine as
previously discussed in this
manual.
5.When finished using the
Generator ,turn the Engine
Power Switch(2) to its "OFF"
position. Turn the Fuel Valve to
its "OFF" position. Then
,disconnect the electrical
6.Hold the Start Handle loosely
and pull it slowly several times
to allow the gasoline to flow into
the Engine’s carburetor. Then
hold the Start Handle firmly and
pull the rope hard and fast. Pull
the road all the way out, using
two hands if necessary. If
necessary pull the rope several
times until the Engine
starts.(See Figure G)
7.Allow the Engine to run for
several seconds. Then, open
the Choke Lever all the
way.(see Figure E.)

powered tools power cord from
the Generator’s DC Terminals
(7). (See Figure H.)
6.After the Engine and
Generator have completely
cooled, store the Generator in a
safe,clean ,dry location (if not
already installed in one).
7. NOTE: The Generator
features a 8 AMP DC circuit
breaker (9) to protect the DC
circuit in case of an
overload.(See Figure H.)
MAINTENANCE
1. CAUTION Always make sure
the engine power switch is in its
OFF position disconnect the
spark plug wire from the engine
.and allow sufficient time for the
engine and generator to
completely cool before
performing any inspection
,maintenance ,or cleaning.
2. before each use, inspect the
general condition of generator
,check for loose screw
.misalignment or binding of
moving parts crake or broken
parts, damages electrical wiring
and any other condition that
may affect its safe operation by
a qualified service technician
before further use.do not use
damaged equipment.
3. before each use check to
make sure the engine oil level
and gas level is adequate ,if
necessary,fill the fuel tank.
4. before each use ,with a soft
brush ,cloth,or vacuum, remove
all debris from the generator
then use a premium
quality,lightweight machine oil to
lubricate all moving parts.
5. every 20hours of use ,drain
the old engine oil and replace
with approximately 3/4 (0.63)
quart of a high quality SAE
10W -30 grace engine oil.
6. EVERY 300 hours of
use,have a qualified ,certified
technician perform thorough
maintenance on the generator
and its engine.
7. For long term storage,either
drain fuel into a suitable
container or add a fuel
preservative stabilizer (not
include) to prevent breakdown
of the fuel .
