assembly

Your generator is ready for use after it has been properly serviced with the
recommended fuel and oil.
If you have any problems with the servicing of your generator, contact your local
MOSA service center. If you need assistance, please have the model, revision,
and serial number from the identification label available. See Generator Features
and Controls for identification label location.

unpack generator

1. Set the carton on a rigid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from carton.
the generator is supplied with:
• Battery charge cables
• Operator's manual
• Tool Kit

add engine oil

1. Place generator on a level surface.
2. Add engine oil as described in Adding Engine Oil of the Engine
Maintenance section.
NOTICE Improper treatment of generator could damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly
serviced with the recommended oil. This could result in an engine failure.

add Fuel Figure
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded petrol.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high altitude use, see High
Altitude.
• Petrol with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary
butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE Avoid generator damage.
Failure to follow Operator's Manual for fuel recommendations voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved petrol such as E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in petrol.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer when adding
fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If you experience starting or performance
problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change brands. This
engine is certified to operate on petrol. The emission control system for this engine is
EM (Engine Modifications).
warning Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death, serious
injury and/or property damage.
wHen adding FueL
• Turn generator engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel
cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition
sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator (a) in fuel tank. Be careful not
to fill above the indicator. This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.
High altitude
At altitudes over 1500 meters (5,000 feet), a minimum 85 octane / 85 AKI (89
RON) petrol is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment
is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See a MOSA Authorized Dealer
for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below
750 meters (2,500 feet) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Fuel tank cap vent Lever Figure
The fuel tank cap is provided with a vent lever (a) to seal the fuel tank. The vent
lever must be in the on position (i) for the engine to run.
When the engine is not in use, leave the vent lever in the off position (o) to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage. Allow the engine to cool before turning the vent lever to the
off position (o).

Features and controls

read this operator's Manual and safety rules before operating your
generator. Compare the illustrations with your generator, to familiarize
yourself with the locations of various controls and adjustments. Save this
manual for future reference.
a - Fuel tank cap vent Lever — Turn the vent lever to the on position (i) when
operating generator. Turn to the off position (o) when not in use.
B - Fuel tank — Capacity of 3.7 L (1.0 U.S. gallons).
c - choke Lever — Used when starting a cold engine.
d - side Maintenance cover — Remove to gain access to the air cleaner and oil
service.
e - recoil starter — Used to start the engine manually.
F - engine switch — Set this switch to i before using recoil starter. Set switch to o to
stop engine. Also turns fuel valve on and off.
g - output indicator (ok) — The green LED output indicator light comes on when the
generator is operating normally. It indicates that the generator is producing power
at the receptacles.
H - 12 volt dc receptacle — Use this receptacle with battery charge cables to charge
a 12 Volt battery. This receptacle is protected by a push to reset circuit breaker.
J - grounding Fastener — Consult your local agency having jurisdiction for grounding
requirements in your area.
k - PowersMart switch— Use this switch to turn the POWERSMART mode on and
off.
L - overload alarm (!) — The red LED overload alarm light comes on and cuts power
to the receptacles if you overload the generator. The green output indicator light
will also go off. If the generator was overloaded, you must turn off and unplug
all electrical loads, shut down the generator and restart it to continue in normal
operating mode.
M - Low oil indicator ( ) — The low oil indicator system is designed to
prevent engine damage caused by not enough engine oil. If the engine oil level
drops below a preset level, the yellow LED low oil indicator light comes on and an
oil switch will stop the engine. If the engine stops or the yellow LED low oil
indicator light comes on when you pull the recoil handle, check the engine oil level.
n - 230 volt ac outlets — May be used to supply electrical power for the operation
of 230 Volt AC, single phase, 50 Hz electrical, lighting, appliance, tool, and motor
loads. These outlets are protected against overload by an internal overload system.
P - spark arrester Muffler — Exhaust muffler lowers engine noise and is equipped
with a spark arrester screen.
r - top Maintenance cover — Remove to gain access to the spark plug.
s - identification Label — Provides model, revision, and serial number of generator.
Please have these readily available when calling for assistance.
items not shown:
air cleaner (under side maintenance cover) — Protects engine by filtering dust and
debris out of intake air.
oil Fill cap (under side maintenance cover) — Check and add engine oil here.
