 PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing our generators.
This manual covers operation and maintenance of the IG1000, IG1000s
generator.
All information in this publication is based on the latest product information
available at the time of approval for printing.
We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice and without
incurring any obligation.
No part of this publication may be reproduced without written permission.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the generator and should
remain with it if it is resold.
Pay special attention to statements preceded by the following words;
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in
WARNING property damage, serious injury or DEATH!
Read all labels and the owner's manual before operating
this generator.
Operate only in well ventilated areas. Exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide, and can be
deadly. Always stop engine before refueling. Wait 5
minutes before restarting.
Check for spilled fuel or leaks. Clean and/or repair
before use.
Keep any sources of ignition away from fuel tank, at all
times.
Indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or
WARNING death if instructions are not followed.
Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment
CAUTION damage if instructions are not followed.
NOTE: Gives helpful information.
If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator,
consult an authorized dealer.
Our generators are designed to give safe and

Never mix different kinds of oil.

Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level
by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in.
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill the recommended oil up to the
top of the oil filler neck.

NOTE
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine before the oil
levelfalls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level
regularly.
