1. Before checking or relling oil, be sure the
generator is put on a stable and level surface,
ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
When lling with oil you can lift the generator
approximately 100 mm at the front (Fig G),
however the generator must be sitting at back on
its feet when checking the level of oil using the oil
ller cap/dipstick (12).
Make sure you check the capacity of fuel tank
before checking the oil level. The fuel tank
(26) should be less than 50% full when the
generator is tilted by 100mm to ll the oil
reservoir, or fully drained if the generator is
tilted more than 100mm.
2. Remove the oil ller cap/dipstick (12)
by rotating the cap in an anti-clockwise
direction, and wipe all oil residue o the oil
ller cap/dipstick (12) with a clean rag.
Re insert the oil ller cap/dipstick (12) and
thread the cap fully in position.
Then remove the oil ller cap/dipstick (12) by rotating in an anti clockwise
direction and view the oil level on the oil ller cap/dipstick (12).
3. If the oil level is close to or below the lower level line, rell using the supplied
oil bottle (32) with 4 stroke oil to the upper level line (Fig H).
Do not use the generator when the oil level is close to the low level. Fill the
oil tank before use each time.
4. If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure you change the oil.
Replace the oil ller cap/dipstick (12). DO NOT start the generator with the
oil Filler cap/dipstick (12) not rmly replaced.
NOTE: This engine is tted with a low oil indicator light (4). If the oil level
is too low the engine will stop operating or the engine will not start. It is
advised to check the oil level each time the generator is used and ll to the
upper mark on the oil ller cap/dipstick (12) by the above method.
Do NOT over ll.
Preparation Information Preparation Information
WARNING.
• Do not rell fuel tank (26) while engine is running or is hot.
• Check to ensure that the fuel drain (10) has been tightened and that fuel is
not leaking.
• Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
• Wipe o spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
• Ensure you DO NOT fuel the generator in close proximity to any open
ames, lit cigarettes, or hot objects.
• The generator should also be located in an open area with fresh air and NOT
in a conned area.
WARNING: Ensure the engine is switched o while undertaking
this task.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (27) by rotating in an anticlockwise direction.
2. Remove the fuel tank inlet lter (24) and ensure it is clean and free of debris.
Check the level of fuel is sucient.
3. If the fuel tank inlet lter (24) was removed to check the fuel level, ensure it
is replaced back before adding fuel.
4. To add fuel, pour the unleaded fuel from an approved fuel container into the
fuel tank (26). As fuel expands, DO NOT FILL to the lip of the tank. Maximum
ll is to the top of the fuel tank inlet lter (24) rim.
5. Replace fuel tank cap (27) turning in a clockwise direction to lock.
Filling and checking the Engine oil
The engine of this generator is NOT lled with oil when unpacked.
Prior to starting the engine ensure the oil tank is lled with SAE 10W-30
4 stroke oil. For the rst time ll the engine should be lled with 550ml
(+/-10%) of SAE 10W-30 oil. We recommend GARDENLINE® Full Synthetic
4 Stroke Oil.
NOTE: Damage to the engine is not covered under warranty if the engine is
run with insucient oil.
NOTE: Ensure the fuel tank cap (27) is secure before attempting to add oil.
