OPERATION
Generator Location
Please consult your local authority . In some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility .
Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional rules and regulations .
This generator must have at least five feet of clearance from combustible material . Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides of the generator to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing .
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area . DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces . Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning generator .
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the ground terminals on the power panel .
The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin . Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection may not function properly .
Surge Protection
CAUTION
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment .
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations .
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment .
1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles . They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations .
Starting the Engine
1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator .
Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on .
3 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position .
4 . Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position .
5 . Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position .
6 . RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly
7 . Do not over-choke . As as soon as engine starts, move the choke lever to the “RUN” position .
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter . After first pull, move choke lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter . Too much choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air . This will cause the engine not to start .
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface . The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold .

OPERATION
Connecting Electrical Loads
1 . Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting
2 . Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads .
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator .
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator .
– DO NOT overload the generator .
NOTE
Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s power lines or to another power source may be against the law . In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could damage your generator and appliances and could cause serious injury or even death to you or a utility worker who may be working on nearby power lines . If you plan to run a portable electric generator during an outage, please notify your electric utility company immediately and remember to plug your appliances directly into the generator . Do not plug the generator into any electric outlet in your home . Doing so could create a connection to the utility company power lines . You are responsible for ensuring that your generator’s electricity does not feed back into the electric utility power lines .
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical system, consult your local utility company or a qualified electrician . Connections must isolate generator power from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and codes .
Stopping the Engine
1 . Turn off and unplug all electrical loads . Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on .
2 . Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator .
3 . Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position .
4 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position .
Important: If the generator will be moved or stored turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF“ position and ensure the Ignition Switch on the Power Panel is in the “OFF“ position .
do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary for your purposes .
1 . Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same time .
2 . Total the running watts of these items . This is the amount of power you need to keep your items running .
3 . Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified in step 1 . Add this number to the number calculated in step 2 . Surge wattage is the extra burst of power needed to start some electric driven equipment . Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time .
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to watts:
Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet,
CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
