including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Safety
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND FIRE: Operate only with proper spark arrestor installed.
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation.
A spark arrestor may be required.
The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire
prevention requirements.
At high altitudes, the engine’s carburetor, governor, and any other parts that control the fuel‑air ratio
will need to be adjusted by a qualified mechanic to allow efficient high-altitude use and
to prevent damage to the engine and any other devices used with this product.

 Break-in Period
a. Breaking-in the Engine will help to ensure proper equipment and Engine operation.
b. The break‑in period will last about 30 hours of use.
DO NOT exceed 75% of the Generator’s running wattage during this period.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Safety

Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows

the schedule explained in the MAINTENANCE section.

Nominal 12 VDC Output

1. Move the Economy (ESC) Switch to the OFF position.

2. Only use the 12 VDC receptacle to charge a 12 volt lead-acid type battery using an appropriate
charge controller. (Battery and controller not included.) The 12 VDC output is not regulated.

3. Do not connect any device to the 12 VDC terminal that draws more than 8 amps.

4. If this 12 VDC circuit protection is tripped, reduce the load, and press the Reset Button next to the outlet.

Connecting 120 VAC Loads to the Generator

Setup

Calculate Power Draw:

Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
• Never exceed the running wattage for the Generator or any outlet amperage rating.
• Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
• Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cord length at a minimum.

Wattage Estimates

Refer to your device documentation for start-up and running wattage requirements.
Check nameplate wattages on all loads before connecting to Generator.
Operation

Plug the power cord of the 120 volt appliance/tool

into the 120 VAC Outlet on the Generator. Plug in
appliances from largest to smallest load.
Note: Do not allow the Generator to completely run
out of fuel with devices attached. A Generator’s
output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel,
causing damage to attached devices.

to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of
our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so

repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from
causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.
Setup

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state. HFT also warrants that the emissions control system on your engine is

The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and
Harbor Freight Tools (HFT) are pleased to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control

new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent
anti-smog standards. HFT must warrant that the emissions control system on your small off-road engine will be free
from defects in material and workmanship for the period listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine leading to the failure of the emissions control system.
