1. Informazioni di sicurezza
Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the generator. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or death.
- Periculu di monossidu di carbonu: Generators produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless gas that can kill you. Operate generators outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents.
- Periculu di scossa elettrica: Never operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are dry and properly insulated.
- Periculu d'incendiu: Gasoline is highly flammable. Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke while refueling.
- Superfici calde: The generator's engine and muffler become very hot during operation. Avoid touching hot surfaces to prevent burns.
- Prutezzione di l'udito: Prolonged exposure to generator noise can cause hearing damage. Use appropriate hearing protection.
- I zitelli è l'animali: Mantene i zitelli è l'animali alluntanati da u generatore in ogni mumentu.

3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
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 Adding Engine Oil
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.
- Pone u generatore nantu à una superficia pianu.
- Eliminate u tappu di riempimentu d'oliu / l'astina.
- 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).
- Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.
3.3 Adding Fuel (Gasoline)
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.
- Assicuratevi chì u mutore sia spento è fretu.
- Eliminate u tappu di u tank di carburante.
- Slowly pour gasoline into the fuel tank, being careful not to overfill. The tank capacity is 1.05 gallons (4 liters).
- Rimpiazzate bè u tappu di u serbatoiu di carburante.
3.4 Connecting Propane (for Dual Fuel models)
If your model supports dual fuel, you can connect a propane tank.
- Ensure the generator is off and the propane tank valve is closed.
- Connect one end of the provided propane hose to the generator's propane inlet.
- Connect the other end of the hose to a standard 20lb propane tank.
- Stringhje tutte e cunnessione in modu sicuru.
- Aprite pianu pianu a valvula di u buttigliu di propane.
