•

Before performing any maintenance on the generator, remove the control panel fuse and disconnect the Negative (--) battery cable to prevent accidental startup. When disconnecting battery cables always remove the NEGATIVE (NEG or "--") cable first, then remove the
POSITVE (POS, or "+") cable. When reconnecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, and the NEGATIVE cable last.

•

Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous operating
conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

1.3 m Exhaust Hazards
Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness, inability to think clearly, fainting,
unconsciousness or even death. If any carbon monoxide poisoning symptom is experienced, move into fresh air and immediately seek medical attention.
This generator is designed for OUTDOOR installation ONLY. Never operate the generator inside any garage or other enclosed space.

1.4 m Electrical

Hazards

All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages that can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers
extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch, as does the standby generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact with bare
wires, terminals, connections, etc. while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place, secured and/or
locked before operating the generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce potential
shock hazard.

Donot handleany kindof electricaldevicewhilestandingin water,while barefoot,or while handsor feet are wet. DANGEROUSELECTRICALSHOCKMAYRESULT.
•

This is an Automatic Standby Generator, the generator may crank and start at any time when utility is lost. When this occurs, load circuits are
transferred to the STANDBY (generator) power source. To prevent injury, before working on this generator (for inspection, service or maintenance), always put the generator into the OFF mode and remove the 7.5 Amp fuse from the generator control panel.

•

In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power, if this is not possible, attempt to free the
victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or board,
to free the victim from the live conductor, if the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

•

Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving
components resulting in injury.

1.5

Fire Hazards

•

For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly, installation MUST always comply with applicable codes, standards,
laws, regulations and product installation Manual guidelines. Adhere strictly to local, state, and national electrical and building codes. Comply
with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. Following proper installation, do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.

for use on the standby generator. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. Consult the local fire department with
any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.

1.6

Explosion

Hazards

•

Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the generator
compartment, or on or near the generator as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from
debris.

•

Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. install the fuel supply system according to applicable fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home standby electric system into service, fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak
tested according to applicable code. After installation, inspect the fuel system periodically for leaks. No leakage can be permitted.

Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is
required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system
from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 702). Failure to isolate an electrical
system by such means will result in damage to the generator and also may result in injury or death to utility
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

4.6 m Valve Lash Adjustment
After the first 25 hours of operation and then at every 400 hour interval afterwards, check the valve clearance. Adjust if necessary.
Important: Please contact the Dealer for service assistance. This is a very important step to ensure longest life for the engine.
To check valve clearance:
•

The engine should be cool before checking. If valve clearance is 0.002" - 0.004" (0.05 - 0.1mm), adjustment is not needed.

•

Remove spark plug wires and position wires away from plugs.

•

Remove spark plugs.

•

Make sure the piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of its compression stroke (both valves closed). Toget the piston at TDC, remove the intake
screen at the front of the engine to gain access to the flywheel nut. Use a large socket and socket wrench to rotate the nut and hence the
engine in a clockwise direction. While watching the piston through the spark plug hole. The piston should move up and down. The piston is at
TDC when it is at its highest point of travel.

To adjust valve clearance (see Figure 4-4):
•

Make sure the engine is at 60° to 80 ° F (16° to 27 ° C).

•

Make sure that the spark plug wire is removed from the spark plug and out of the way.

•

Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover.

•

Loosen the rocker jam nut. Using a 10ram Allen wrench (530cc engine) or a 13ram Allen wrench (410cc, 990cc and 999cc engines), turn the
pivot ball stud while checking clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem with a feeler gauge. Correct clearance is 0.002-0.004
inch (0.05-0.1 mm).

NOTE: Hold the rocker arm jam nut in place as the pivot ball stud is turned.
•

When valve clearance is correct, hold the pivot ball stud in place with the Allen wrench and tighten the rocker arm jam nut. Tighten the jam nut
to 174 in-lbs. (19.68 N-m) torque. After tightening the jam nut, recheck valve clearance to make sure it did not change.

•

Install new valve cover gasket.

•

Re-attach the valve cover.

NOTE: Start all four screws before tightening or it will not be possible to get all the screws in place. Make sure the valve cover gasket
is in place.
•

Install spark plugs.

•

Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.

•

Repeat the process for the other cylinder, if necessary.

4.7 m Battery Maintenance
The battery should be regularly inspected per the Service Schedule:
1.

With the generator shut down, lift the lid and remove the front panel.

Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries, and if necessary, fill with distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water. Also, have the
Dealer or a qualified Service Technician check the state of charge and condition.

Do not dispose of the battery by incineration. The battery is capable of exploding.

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Strictly observe the following precauZ_

tions when working on batteries:

Remove the 7.5 Amp fuse from the generator control panel.
Remove all jewelry--watches, rings, metal objects, etc.
Use tools with insulated handles.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Do not lay tools or metallic objects on top of the battery.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and
to be toxic. The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. Strictly observe the following precautions:
•

Wear full eye protection and protective clothing.

•

Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water.

•

Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention.

•

Wash down spilled electrolyte with an aid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate
of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has
ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Strictly observe the following pre_

cautions:

•

DO NOT smoke when near the battery.

•

DO NOT cause flame or spark in the battery area.

•

Discharge static electricity from the body before touching the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
