Note: The engine switch will remain in the On
position. If the engine stops or the oil alert indicator
light turns on when you pull the starter grip, check the
engine oil level. Oil must be added to the engine
before it will re-start.
FUELLING
STOP engine before adding fuel. This engine is
certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded
gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Warning! Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or
an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in
the fuel tank.
Replace and secure the fuel cap after adding fuel.
Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
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.
OPERATION
STARTING THE GENERATOR
Before starting the generator make sure there is
sufficient fuel in the tank. If the fuel is low, refill with
unleaded automotive gasoline. Be sure to use the fuel
filter screen on the fuel filter neck. Press the primer
bulb 6 times after fuelling.
AC Power Applications. 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.
Before starting the engine make sure that all the
electrical loads are disconnected from the generator
AC outlet socket.
Open the fuel filler cap vent (Fig 4) and the fuel cock,
Fig 5.
Turn the engine switch to the On position and the
economy switch to the Off position, Fig 6.
To start a cold engine, set the choke to the “CHOKE”
position, Fig 7.
Caution: When engine is hot or environment
temperature is high, set the choke to the “Run”
position.
Hold down the generator firmly with one hand. With
the other hand grip the recoil starter cord handle and
pull slowly until resistance is felt indicating that the
recoil starter is engaged.
When resistance is felt pull the cord sharply. Continue
this procedure until the engine starts, Fig 8.
Caution: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back.
When the engine has been successfully started and is
running smoothly return the choke to the “RUN”
position.
Warning! Before connecting any electrical load to the
generator ensure that the load does not exceed the
maximum load as stated on the rating plate. Ensure
that the appliance being connected is in good working
order and that the mains supply lead is long enough
to reach the generator without any strain.
When the generator engine has been successfully
started and is running smoothly connect the electrical
load into the generator AC output socket.
Warning! DC power and AC power can be used at the
same time but DO NOT exceed the maximum power
output, as shown on the rating plate.
DC BATTERY CHARGING FUNCTION
This function is applicable to 12V battery charging
