5. If theoil level is low add more oil. SAE 10W-30 engine oilfor
4-stroke engines is recommended for normal use (-5–25 C°).
Theoil should have anAPI service class rating of at leastSJ.
Refuelling
1. Makesure that thegenerator is flat and level and in awell-ventilated place. Unscrew thefuel cap (8).
2. Onlyuse fresh, clean petrol with anoctane rating of at least 95 and containing no more than 10 % ethanol.
Theuse of fuel with acontent of ethanol higher than 10 % could lead to engine damage which is not
covered by theguarantee.
3. Screwthefuel cap back on, close theair vent (7) if thegenerator is not to be used straight away.
4. Wipeup any fuel spills immediately.
Starting the engine
The generator should be placed on afirm, flat surface with good ventilation and at least 3 feet awayfrom
building walls and ceilings. Note:Thegenerator’s engine cooling air inlet vents are located on theunderside
of thegenerator. Thegenerator must not be placed on any soft material which could block theair inlets and
cause theengine to overheat.
1. Make sure that all appliances connected to thegenerator are turned off.
2. Open thefuel cap air vent (7) by turning it clockwise toON.
Operating instructions
Preparations
Check the oil level before switching the generator on
1. Removethescrews fastening themaintenance cover (20) (the big cover next to thestarter handle).
2. Make sure that thegenerator is on aflat and level surface. Removetheoil filler cap (4) and wipe thedipstick clean.
3. Fully insert thedipstick into thefiller neck without screwing thecap back on.
4. Remove thedipstick and read theoil level. Thereis aminimum level mark about 1 cm up from thebottom
of thedipstick. Thedipstick hole is also theoil filler neck. Theoil level should be between themark on
thedipstick and thebottom of thefiller bottom of thethread on theoil filler neck.
