2. 重要な安全情報
Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents to prevent carbon monoxide accumulation. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause serious injury or death. The generator is equipped with COsense Technology, which automatically shuts down the unit if hazardous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. Ensure the exhaust is pointed away from occupied areas.
Read and understand the entire owner's manual before operating the generator. Keep children and pets away from the generator during operation. Always ensure proper grounding of the unit.
3. セットアップ
3.1開梱と組み立て
Carefully remove the generator and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. The package typically includes the generator, owner's manual, engine oil, oil funnel, wheels, and necessary hardware for assembly.
- Attach the wheels to the generator frame using the provided hardware.
- Install the support legs to ensure stability.
- Attach the handle assembly to the frame.
3.2 エンジンオイルの追加
The generator is shipped without engine oil. Before first use, add the recommended amount of 10W-30 engine oil (approximately 1.2 quarts or 1.1 liters) using the provided funnel. Do not overfill. The low-oil pressure shutdown feature will prevent the engine from starting or running if the oil level is too low.
3.3 燃料の追加
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. The fuel tank has a large capacity of 14.2 Imperial Gallons (approximately 17 US gallons). Fill the tank slowly to avoid spills. Do not fill the tank completely to allow for fuel expansion. Always ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling.

4. 操作
4.1 発電機の始動
始動する前に、発電機が水平な場所に設置され、すべての電気負荷が切断されていることを確認してください。
- 燃料バルブを「ON」の位置に回します。
- Move the choke lever to the 'FULL CHOKE' position (if the engine is cold).
- のために 電動スタート: Press and hold the start button until the engine starts. Release the button once the engine is running.
- のために 手動プルスタート: Grasp the recoil starter handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and firmly. Repeat if necessary until the engine starts.
- エンジンが始動したら、チョークレバーを徐々に「RUN」の位置に動かします。
4.2 電気負荷の接続
The generator features multiple outlets, including 120V AC and 120V/240V AC options. Connect your appliances or extension cords to the appropriate outlets. The TruePower Technology ensures less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), making it safe for sensitive electronics.

4.3 Monitoring and Shutdown
Monitor the fuel gauge to ensure continuous operation. The generator provides a long runtime, offering up to 9 hours at 50% load. To shut down the generator, first disconnect all electrical loads, then turn the engine switch to 'OFF', and finally turn the fuel valve to 'OFF'.
5. メンテナンス
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
- エンジンオイル: 毎回使用前にオイルレベルを確認してください。エンジンオイルは最初の20時間運転後に交換し、その後は100時間ごと、または1年ごとに交換してください。
- エアフィルター: エアフィルターは50時間ごとに点検・清掃してください。埃の多い環境では、より頻繁に点検・清掃してください。損傷している場合は交換してください。
- 点火プラグ： スパークプラグは100時間ごとに点検・清掃してください。摩耗または汚れがある場合は交換してください。
- 燃料システム: Drain the fuel system if storing the generator for more than 30 days to prevent fuel degradation. Use a fuel stabilizer if draining is not possible.
