GENERAL SAFETY RULES
For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the product, please
call (800) 791-9458 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST before using the generator. Please read and understand the
instructions in this manual before starting the engine or attempting to operate this unit.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
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 if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if it isn’t directly in contact with gasoline.
Do not operate near 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 fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank.
Allow for expansion.
Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Generating set ground” portion of
the “GENERATOR PREPARATION” 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 back-feed, 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. GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.
Do not use in rainy 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℉ (65℃).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator identifying hot parts of the
machine.
Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the generator that become hot
during use.
CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
Only use generator for its intended purposes.
Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting 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.
Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
Turn the engine switch to “OFF” position when the engine is not running.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the PowerSmart®
4500W generator that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as
well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged items
repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or
cracked insulation.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing backup
power to the home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may
result in overheating or stressing of the components, possibly leading to a generator failure.
WARNING: If this generator is used as a supply for a building’s wiring system, the generator
must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately
derived system in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator
shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors excluding the equipment grounding
conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding electrode.

Overload indicator (red)
When the overload indicator is on, it indicates that the generating set is overload and then the AC
protector works. It will stop the output of generating set to protect the electric equipment and the
generating set itself. At this time, the running indicator (green) is off and the overload indicator (red) is on,
but the engine is still in running state.
When the generating set has no output and the overload indicator is on, please take the following steps:
1. Lower the total power of the connected electric devices to the rated output range of generating set.
2. Check the air intake for impurities and check the control parts for abnormal situation. Handle
immediately if necessary.
3. Press the reset button.
Running indicator (green)
The running indicator lights up when generating set starts and has normal output.
Oil alarm lamp (yellow)
When the oil level drops below the lower limit, the oil protection system will stop the engine
automatically and oil alarming lamp will blink by pulling the recoil starter. The engine will not run until
the oil has been filled to the proper level.
Note: If engine flames out or fails to start, turn the combination switch to “RUN” position and then pull
the recoil starter. If the oil alarming lamp lights up, it shows lack of oil. Please add appropriate oil and
restart the engine.

Rest button
The reset button is used to restore output if an overload occurs. To restore output, reduce the loads and
press the rest button.
Energy-saving switch
When the energy-saving switch is in “ON” position, the energy saving equipment controls the engine
rotate speed according to the connected loads. There will be good fuel consumption and low noise.
When the energy-saving switch is in“OFF”position, the engine will always run in rated rotate speed no
matter it is connected to the loads or not.
Note: Please set the energy-saving switch to “OFF” position when connect to air compressor, sinking
pump etc. because these equipments need large starting current.
Grounding terminal
The grounding terminal is designed to prevent electric shock by connecting it to the grounding wire. The
generating set must be properly grounded before operation.
Combination switch (STOP&OFF&RUN&CHOKE)
Note: One-button start and remote control start, no function of manually close for the choke.
Stop: The stop position of the generator.
