OPERATION USB CHARGING PORTS See Figure 1. The USB-dedicated charging ports will charge most USBcompatible devices.  For MP3, cell phones, and other small USB devices (up to 1.9 Amps), connect to the top USB port.  For tablets and high-charging current devices (up to 2.1 Amps) connect to the bottom USB port. NOTE: The USB-dedicated charging port provides power only; it does not provide any communication capabilities. A suitable USB cable must be provided by the user. GENCONTROL™ LCD DISPLAY See Figure 2. NOTE: If the engine is off, the LCD display will not work unless the battery is connected and the EASY START dial is in the ON position. Before the engine is started, the GENCONTROL™ LCD display shows the generator's current fuel level, battery status, total run hours, and Bluetooth® connection status. Once the engine is started, the display changes to show the current fuel status, load level, run time remaining, Bluetooth® connection status, and the shut down timer, when applicable. See below for more details about these indicators. NOTE: The LCD display is equipped with a power-saving sleep mode that is activated when the engine is not started within 15 minutes of turning the EASY START dial to the ON position. To wake the display, press and release the Bluetooth® pairing button. The following information is available on the GENCONTROL™ LCD display Fuel level: The fuel level indicator will show how much fuel is remaining. Auto idle: The LCD display will show if the idle is on or off. Battery status: The battery status indicator shows the battery charge level. Total run hours: The total run hours indicator shows how many hours the generator engine has been run over the life of the unit. Total run hours can only be viewed on the LCD screen while there is a charged RYOBI™ ONE+™ battery pack installed, and the generator is turned on but not running. When the generator is running, this is specific to the app. Load level: The load level indicator will show the connected load. If the generator is approaching the maximum wattage/ amperage capacity, the indicator will blink. If load level capacity is exceeded, the LCD display will show OVERLOAD. To reset the generator, remove all loads from the generator and press the reset button (see fig. 1). Add loads back to the generator one at a time, being careful not to exceed the generator's wattage rating. Run time: The LCD display will show the approximate remaining run time based on fuel level and load. Bluetooth®: Once paired, the LCD display will indicate whether or not the GENCONTROL™ app is connected through Bluetooth®. Shut down timer: The shut down timer appears only when a shut down time has been set using the GENCONTROL™ app. The timer icon will begin to flash when the timer reaches 10 minutes or less. CHECKING/ADDING LUBRICANT See Figure 3. NOTICE: Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly filled with lubricant will result in equipment failure. NOTE: If a separate engine manual is provided for this product, please follow the instructions provided in the engine manual instead of the information listed below. Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine performance and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE 10W30 is recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ. This engine comes with a feature that will shut off the engine when a specific lubricant level is not maintained. The engine will not restart until an appropriate lubricant level is reached. NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will damage the engine and should not be used. n Loosen the knob at the side of the engine cover. Remove cover and set aside. n Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove. n Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-thread. n Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant level should fall between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. n If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. n Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick. n Reinstall cover. USING FUEL STABILIZER Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer's directions for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.  Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and shaking gently to combine. NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer directly into the generator's fuel tank. n Replace and secure the fuel tank cap. n Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system. 15 - English
