2. Sigurnosne informacije
Operating a portable generator involves potential hazards. Adhere to all safety warnings and instructions to prevent injury or property damage.
- Opasnost od ugljičnog monoksida: Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. Never operate in an enclosed space. The integrated COsense® technology is designed to detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and automatically shut down the generator, but it is not a substitute for safe operation.
- Opasnost od požara: Fuel is highly flammable. Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area. Do not refuel a hot or running engine. Ensure proper ventilation and clearance around the generator during operation.
- Opasnost od strujnog udara: Never operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded. Do not connect the generator directly to your home's electrical system without a transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician.
- Vruće površine: Motor i prigušivač generatora se veoma zagriju tokom rada i ostaju vrući još neko vrijeme nakon gašenja. Izbjegavajte kontakt s vrućim površinama kako biste spriječili opekotine.
- Pokretni dijelovi: Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from moving parts to prevent entanglement.

5. Podešavanje
Prije prve upotrebe, izvršite sljedeće korake podešavanja:
- Sastavite ručku i kotače: Attach the handle and wheel kit to the generator frame as per the instructions provided with the kit. This enhances portability.
- Dodajte motorno ulje: The generator is shipped without engine oil. Place the generator on a level surface. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. Slowly pour the provided engine oil into the oil fill opening until the oil level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. Securely replace the oil fill cap/dipstick.
- Priključite bateriju: Connect the positive (+) battery cable (red) to the positive (+) battery terminal, then connect the negative (-) battery cable (black) to the negative (-) battery terminal. Ensure connections are tight.
- Choose Fuel Type: Decide which fuel source you will use (gasoline, liquid propane, or natural gas).
- Dodajte gorivo (benzin): If using gasoline, ensure the generator is off and cool. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane) up to the fill neck, but do not overfill. Securely close the fuel cap.
- Connect Fuel (Propane/Natural Gas): If using liquid propane, connect the LP hose with regulator to the generator's LP inlet and to a propane tank. Ensure all connections are tight. If using natural gas, connect the natural gas line to the generator's natural gas inlet. Consult a qualified professional for natural gas connections.
6. Uputstvo za upotrebu
Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from any structures, and on a level surface.
Pokretanje generatora (električni start)
- Osigurajte sigurnost: Verify all electrical loads are disconnected from the generator.
- Odaberite gorivo: Turn the fuel selector dial to the desired fuel type (Gasoline, LP, or NG).
- Open Fuel Valve: Open the fuel valve for the selected fuel source. For LP, open the valve on the propane tank. For NG, ensure the natural gas supply is open.
- Čok (ako postoji): If starting a cold engine, move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position.
- Pokreni motor: Turn the Off/Run/Start switch to the 'START' position and hold until the engine starts. Once started, release the switch to the 'RUN' position.
- Čok (ako postoji): Postepeno pomičite ručicu čoka u položaj 'RUN' dok se motor zagrijava.
- Connect Loads: Kada motor radi glatko, možete spojiti električne uređaje.
Zaustavljanje generatora
- Disconnect Loads: Odvojite sva električna opterećenja od generatora.
- Turn Off Fuel: For LP, close the valve on the propane tank. For gasoline, turn the fuel valve to the 'OFF' position. Allow the generator to run until it runs out of fuel (this helps prevent carburetor issues). For NG, turn off the natural gas supply.
- Isključite motor: Once the engine stops or after the fuel has been shut off, turn the Off/Run/Start switch to the 'OFF' position.
Runtime Information
Approximate runtimes at 50% load:
- Gasoline Powered: Do 9.5 sati
- Propane Powered: Do 4.5 sati
- Natural Gas Powered: Runtime varies based on home gas line pressure and demand.

- Čisti filter vazduha: Redovno provjeravajte filter za zrak i po potrebi ga čistite ili mijenjajte, posebno u prašnjavim uvjetima.
- Pregledajte svjećicu: Check the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Clean or replace if fouled or worn. Ensure proper gap (.030 inches).
- Pregledajte sistem goriva: Redovno provjeravajte vodove za gorivo i spojeve na curenje ili oštećenja.
- Clean Generator: Keep the generator clean and free of debris. Ensure cooling fins are clear for proper airflow.
- Održavanje baterije: Keep the battery charged and terminals clean.
