3. Configuração

3.1 Desembalagem

Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Ensure all included accessories are present: wrench, oil funnel, and propane hose connector (if applicable for dual-fuel models).

3.2 Adicionando Óleo do Motor

The generator is shipped without engine oil. You must add the correct amount of oil before first use. Failure to do so will cause severe engine damage and void the warranty.

1. Coloque o gerador em uma superfície nivelada.
2. Remova a tampa de abastecimento de óleo / vareta medidora de nível.
3. Using the provided funnel, slowly add 10W-30 4-cycle engine oil until the oil level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. This model requires approximately 16.2 fluid ounces (0.48 liters).
4. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.

3.3 Abastecendo com combustível (gasolina)

Use only fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 or any gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.

1. Certifique-se de que o motor esteja desligado e frio.
2. Remova a tampa do tanque de combustível.
3. Slowly pour gasoline into the fuel tank, being careful not to overfill. The tank capacity is 1.05 gallons (4 liters).
4. Recoloque a tampa do tanque de combustível firmemente.

3.4 Connecting Propane (for Dual Fuel models)

If your model supports dual fuel, you can connect a propane tank.

1. Ensure the generator is off and the propane tank valve is closed.
2. Connect one end of the provided propane hose to the generator's propane inlet.
3. Connect the other end of the hose to a standard 20lb propane tank.
4. Aperte todas as conexões com segurança.
5. Abra lentamente a válvula do tanque de propano.

4. Instruções de operação

4.1 Iniciando o gerador

Always operate the generator in a well-ventilated outdoor area, away from any structures.

1. Ensure the generator has sufficient oil and fuel (gasoline or propane).
2. Turn the main engine switch to the "ON" position. If starting cold, turn to "CHOKE" first, then move to "ON" once the engine starts.
3. Puxe a alavanca de arranque retrátil com firmeza e constância até o motor ligar.
4. Deixe o motor aquecer por alguns minutos antes de conectar qualquer carga elétrica.

4.2 Conexão de Dispositivos Elétricos

Connect devices one at a time, starting with the highest wattage dispositivo.

• Plug your electrical devices into the appropriate AC 120V outlets, DC 12V outlet, or USB ports.
• Do not overload the generator. The Overload Indicator light will illuminate if the generator is overloaded. If this happens, disconnect devices and restart the generator.
• For sensitive electronics, ensure the Eco Mode is engaged for stable power delivery.

4.3 Parando o gerador

1. Desconecte todas as cargas elétricas do gerador.
2. Turn the main engine switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Se estiver usando propano, feche a válvula do cilindro de propano.
4. Allow the generator to cool down completely before storing.

5. Manutenção

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your generator. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool.

5.1 Verificação e troca do óleo do motor

• Verifique o óleo: Before each use, check the oil level using the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
• Trocar óleo: Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and every 100 hours or 6 months thereafter.

5.2 Manutenção do filtro de ar

• Inspecionar: Inspect the air filter every 50 hours or 3 months.
• Limpar/Substituir: Clean or replace the air filter element if it is dirty or damaged.

5.3 Inspeção da vela de ignição

• Inspecionar: Inspect the spark plug every 100 hours or 6 months.
• Limpar/Substituir: Clean or replace the spark plug if it is fouled or worn.

5.4 Armazenamento

For long-term storage (more than 30 days), prepare the generator as follows:

1. Esvazie o tanque de combustível e o carburador. Ligue o motor até que ele pare por falta de combustível.
2. Add a fuel stabilizer to fresh gasoline if you plan to keep fuel in the tank.
3. Troque o óleo do motor.
4. Limpe o filtro de ar.
5. Guarde o gerador em local limpo, seco e bem ventilado.
