FILLING THE FUEL TANK
UNLEADED 91 PETROL - NO ETHANOL
Fuel tank capacity – 4 litres (4 L)
Use of incorrect fuel and/or oil may damage the generator
and will not be covered under warranty.
Do not use E10 or any type of ethanol fuel as this will
damage the generator and will not be covered under
warranty.
Do not use high octane fuels (greater than 91%) as this
will damage the generator and will not be covered under
warranty.
Use a clean approved container to store your unleaded
petrol (ULP) in before decanting into the fuel tank.
WARNING! Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an
oil/petrol mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel
tank.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refuelled or where Petrol is stored.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
Do not let fuel spill over the generator casing. If there is
some fuel spillage, be sure that it has evaporated before
starting the engine.
Avoid touching gasoline or breathing in gasoline fumes.
1. Remove the fuel cap
2. Fill with unleaded petrol. The fuel tank should not be
filled above the bottom of the fuel filter, Pic. 5.
3. Replace and secure the fuel cap. Petrol is extremely
flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
FUEL CAP BREATHER
This generator is fitted with a sealable fuel cap vent,
Pic. 6.
Seal the fuel cap vent for storage or transport - rotate the
lever to OFF.
For using the generator the fuel needs to breathe - rotate
the lever to ON.
FUEL PUMP PRIMER
If the fuel tank has been totally empty then you may find it
easier to prime the fuel pump rather than pulling the recoil.
To prime;
1. Remove the access panel for more details,
refer page 10.
2. Push priming bulb about 5 times and the bulb should
appear half full. This is now primed and should be
easier to start.
3. Fit access panel and secure with top screw for more
details, refer page 10.
GENERATOR ‘EARTHING’
Always ensure that this generator is “Earthed” BEFORE
starting and using.
Before using this generator it must be prepared correctly
before use. Locate the generator on firm level ground
away from buildings or other structures ensuring that the
exhaust is not obstructed.
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
