1. SAFETY

DANGER!

USING A GENERATOR INDOORS CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

THE ENGINE EXHAUST FROM THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS

KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE

HARM.

1.1 OPERATOR SAFETY

WARNING!

 Always perform an oil, fuel and air lter check before starting the engine.

 Properly clean and maintain the equipment.

 Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and

dependable service.

 Before operating the generator, read the user guide carefully. Otherwise,

it may result in personal injuries or equipment damage.

 Never run the generator in an enclosed area to avoid harm from exhaust

emissions of a poisonous carbon monoxide gas.

 Be careful not to touch the exhaust system, compressor pump or

discharge tubing during operation due to risk of burns.

 Pay attention to the warning labels. The engine exhaust system will

become heated during operation and remain hot immediately after the

engine is stopped.

 Gasoline is a highly ammable and explosive liquid. Refuel in a well

ventilated area with the engine stopped.

 Use of gasoline with an ethanol content greater than 10% can damage

the engine and fuel system and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

 When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarettes, open

ames, smoke and/or sparks.

 Place the generator at least 3 feet away from buildings or other

equipment during operation.

 Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in

fuel spills.

 Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of

all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without

proper instructions.

 Keep children, pets and machinery with rotating parts away during

operation.

 Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.

2

HG SERIES

 Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator.

 Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after

the engine has been shut down.

1.2 AC SAFETY

WARNING!

Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:

 Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or

power cords can lead to an electrical shock.

 Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate

abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem.

 Make sure that the electrical rating of the device does not exceed

that of the generator. If the power level of the device is between the

maximum output power and the running power of the generator, the

generator should not be used for more than 30 minutes.

 Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must

be done by a qualied electrician and must comply with all applicable

laws and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious

injuries to electrical workers during a power outage, and when the

utility power is restored, the generator may explode or cause res. The

generator shall be connected through transfer equipment that switches

all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The

frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding

electrode.

 For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are

better suited for providing backup power to the home. Even a properly

connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result

in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading

to a generator failure.

1.3 MAINTENANCE SAFETY

WARNING!

 After any maintenance is performed, wash immediately using soap and

clean water because repeated exposure to lubricant may cause skin

irritation.

 Do not clean the lter element with ammable liquids like gasoline

because an explosion may occur.

 Turn off the engine before performing any maintenance. Otherwise it can

3

cause severe personal injury or death.

 Allow the generator set to cool down before performing any

maintenance.

 Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air.

 Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can

cause damage to the generator set.

 When working with batteries, ventilate the area, use safety glasses, do

not smoke. Always disconnect the negative rst and reconnect it last.

 Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine oil.

 Always stop the generator set before removing the oil ller cap.

 Only qualied maintenance personnel with knowledge of fuels,

electricity, and machinery hazards should perform maintenance

procedures.

 Lubricate all exposed metal parts regularly. See ‘Maintenance Schedule’

for the recommended maintenance schedule.

1.4 OTHER SAFETY TIPS

WARNING!

 To avoid breathing in poisonous carbon monoxide from the exhaust

gases, adequate ventilation should be provided if the generator set is

running in a partially enclosed space.

 If the generator set is stored outdoors, check all the electrical

components on the control panel before each use. Moisture can

damage the generator and can lead to an electric shock.

 Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the

generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and power

supply cords connected to it for damage resulting from vibration. Have

damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or

cords that show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation

or damaged blades.

 If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been

running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have

carbon monoxide poisoning.

2.2 CONTROL PANEL

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

AC Circuit Breakers

 While the generator is running, the breakers should be in the ON

position.

 If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop

out to the OFF position. Reduce the electrical load on the generator and

push the button back to the ON position.

Low Oil Indicator Light

 The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by

an insufcient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the

crankcase reaches an unsafe limit, the oil alert system will automatically

shut down the engine (the power switch remains in the ON position).

 If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the low oil indicator light

(red) will turn on. Check the engine oil level.

Digital Multi-Display (HG8750, HG10,000)

 Digital display shows the voltage, frequency, session run time, and total

run time. Perform maintenance at the proper intervals according to the

‘Maintenance Schedule’ section of this manual using the total life run

time.

Battery Charging Port (HG8750, HG10,000)

 When the generator will be stored for an extended period of time plug

the battery charger into a 120V outlet every two months to top up the

battery and prolong its life.

Voltage Selector (HG4050)

 When the switch is set to 240V, the generator will produce both 120 and

240 volt output but only half the power will be available for any 120 volt

receptacle. Full power is available from the 240 volt receptacle in this

position.

 When the voltage selector is set to 120V, full power is available from any

120 volt receptacle.

 Always leave the switch in the 120V position when you don't require 240

volts. Select the voltage before turning on the generator.
