1. W Pay attention to the warning marks attached to the generator to prevent burns or serious injury Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions Always refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped Keep away from smoking materials sparks and other sources of combustion when refueling the generator Clean up spilled gasoline immediately Restrict operation of generator in high risk fire causing areas MMD PowerPro Inverter Generators IGR6000H 091615 Page 5 A WARNING A WARNING Page 6 Connections for standby power to a building s electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage and when utility power is restored the generator may explode burn or cause fires in the building s electrical system This generator is not designed to be connected to an automatic transfer switch Serious damage to the engine and inverter module may result Always perform a pre operation inspection before starting the engine to prevent equipment damage or accident Place the generator at least three feet one meter away from buildings or other equipment during operation2. 3 These items should be serviced by an authorized MMD service center unless the owner has the proper tools and is mechanically proficient MMD PowerPro Inverter Generators IGR6000H 091615 Page 29 A CAUTION Make sure to turn the engine switch and the fuel cap vent lever OFF before draining oil 1 CHANGING OIL Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure fast and complete draining a Open left side maintenance cover b Remove the oil cap c Remove the drain bolt and drain the oil There is a rubber plug in the bottom of the generator pan that can be removed to facilitate draining the oil The generator will have to be raised off the ground and supported while the oil drains Retighten the bolt securely d Refill with the recommended oil and check the oil level e Close the left side maintenance cover Engine oil capacity Model Oil Capacity at L IGR6000H 12 14 UPPER LIMIT LOWER LIMIT OIL CAP BOLT OIL LEVEL INDICATOR Page 30 MMD PowerPro Inverter Generators IGR6000H 091615 4 NOTE BI Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compliant with environment and local disposal regulations Do not throw it in the trash pour it on the ground or down the drain 2 AIR CLEANER SERVICE A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor To prevent carburetor malfunction service the air cleaner regularly Service more frequently when operating the generator
3. Operate the generator on a level surface to prevent fuel spillage and or oil starvation Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all controls Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions Keep children and pets away from the generator while in operation Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running The generator is a potential source of electrical shock when misused do not operate with wet hands Do not operate the generator in rain snow or anywhere it is exposed to moisture lI Never operate the generator with the door open or any panels removed Do not operate in any enclosure such as an RV compartment MMD PowerPro Inverter Generators IGR6000H 091615 2 Component Locations Read the labels and safety notes and precautions on the generator If a label comes off or becomes hard to read contact your sales representative for a replacement CARBON CANISTER SPARK PLUG OIL CAP Y CONTROL SERVICE PANEL DOOR AIR INTAKE AIR FILTER FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR AIR EXHAUST HIGH TEMPERATURE LABEL MMD PowerPro Inverter Generators IGR6000H 091615 Page 7 Control Panel IGR6000H OVERLOAD PROTECTOR SMART HOUR METER THROTTLE CHOKE KNOB SWITCH AC RECEPTACLES PRQTECTOR 4 OUTPUT INDICATOR 4 OVERLOAD ALARM LOW OIL ALARM FUEL VALYE CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
