GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
Please familiarize yourself with the following safety symbols and words:
The safety alert symbol is used with one of the safety words (DANGER, CAUTION,
or WARNING) to alert you of hazards. Please pay attention to these hazard notices
both in this manual and on the generator.
DANGER: Indicates a hazard that will result in serious injury or death if instructions
are not followed.
WARNING: Indicates a strong possibility of causing serious injury or death if
instructions are not followed.
CAUTION: Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if
instructions are not followed.
DANGER: This generator produces poisonous carbon monoxide gas when
running. This gas is both odorless and colorless. Even if you do not see or
smell gas, carbon monoxide may still be present. Breathing this poison can
lead to headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and eventually death.
Use outdoors ONLY in non-confined areas.
Keep several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation of
the generator.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline
vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby open flame
can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gas.
Do not operate near an open flame.
Do not smoke near generator.
Always operate on a firm, level surface.
Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for
at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.
Do not overfill gas tank. Gas may expand during operation. Do not fill
to the top of the tank.
Always check for spilled gas before operating.
Empty the gasoline tank before storing or transporting the generator.
Before transporting, turn fuel valve to the off position and disconnect
the spark plug.

GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES (Continued)
WARNING: This generator produces a powerful voltage, which can result in
electrocution.
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the "Grounding the
Generator” portion of the "PREPARlNG THE GENERATOR FOR USE
section).
Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly
or with an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical
system without a qualified electrician. Such connections must comply
with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a
backflow of power, which may result in serious injury or death to utility
workers.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas
such as metal decking or steel work. GFCls are available in-line with
some extension cords.
Do not use uncovered in rainy or wet conditions.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
WARNING: This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near
exhaust can exceed 150°F (65°C).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the
generator denoting hot parts of the machine.
Allow generator to cool several minutes after use before touching
engine or areas which heat during use.
CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
Use the generator only for its intended purposes.
Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
Allow generator to run for 3 - 5 minutes before connecting any
electrical devices.
Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.
Do not exceed the Wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in
more electrical devices than the unit can handle (see "PRECAUTIONS-
OVERLOADING THE GENERATOR").
Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the
generator.
Turn off all connected electrical devices, and turn off the breaker,
before stopping the generator.

starting the engine.
3. Fuel Gauge - Indicates the amount of fuel in the gasoline tank.
4. Fuel Cap - Allows access to fill the gasoline tank.
5. Circuit Breaker - Resettable switch that protects the generator from electrical
overload.
6. 120/240v 4-Prong Receptacle - Use to connect electrical devices that run 120
or 240 Volt, 60Hz, single phase, AC current (NEMA L14-30).
7. Ground Terminal - Connect a ground wire here to properly ground the
generator.
8. 120v 3-Prong Receptacle - Use to connect electrical devices that run 120 Volt,

PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
Using the Generator for the First Time
If you are using the generator for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to
prepare it for operation.
Step 1 - Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the
package contains no oil in the crankcase. You must add the proper amount of oil before
operating the generator for the first time. This amount, which is equal to the oil capacity of
the engine crankcase can be found on the chart in figure 1. When filling the engine with oil
in the future, please refer to this chart.
Model Number
XP5500EH
Engine Oil Capacity
20 fl. Oz. (0.6L)
Figure 1 – Generator Oil Capacity
• Do not apply engine oil with
additives or 2-stroke gasoline
engine oil. They don’t have enough
lubrication, and may shorten the
engine's service life.
• Engine oil recommended: SAE
10W-30. Viscosity varies with regions
and temperatures. Choose your oil
viscosity using the chart to the right.

PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE (Continued)
Figure 2 – Unscrewing the Oil Cap Figure 3 – Adding Oil
To add Oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 2.
3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil, as found in figure 1, into
the crankcase. You will know the crankcase is full when the oil level has
reached the lower lip of the opening you have just poured the oil into. (see
figure 3.)
4. Replace oil filler cap.
Step 2 - Add Gasoline
WARNING: Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flammable.
Do not fill tank near an open flame.
Do not overfill. Always check for fuel spills.
To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, UNLEADED GAS
WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
To add gasoline:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap may be tight and hard to
unscrew).
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill.
Please refer to the chart in figure 4 to find the gas capacity of your generator
model. The fuel gauge on the top of the gas tank indicates how much gasoline
is in the generator gas tank.
NOTE: Gas can expand. Do not fill the gas tank to the very top.
4. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
