This document serves as a user's manual for the Genmax Inverter Generator, providing essential information for its safe operation, maintenance, and storage. The generator is designed to provide portable power, suitable for various consumer applications.
The Genmax Inverter Generator is a portable power source that produces electricity through an internal combustion engine. It utilizes inverter technology to deliver clean, stable power, making it safe for sensitive electronic devices. The generator is equipped with a CO DETECT technology that monitors carbon monoxide accumulation and automatically shuts off the engine if unsafe levels are detected, enhancing user safety. It features a 120-Volt, 20-Amp duplex outlet and a USB duplex for charging various devices. For increased AC power output, two identical generators can be connected using special paralleling cords. The generator also incorporates an "Efficiency Mode" switch, which allows the engine to sense the load and run at a slower RPM to conserve fuel. A ground terminal is provided for external grounding, ensuring safe electrical operation.
Before operating the generator, users are instructed to remove any load from the output ends, turn the ventilation knob on the fuel tank cap to "ON," and set the fuel switch to "ON." The ECO switch should be in the "OFF" position for starting. The engine switch is then pressed to "ON." For cold starts, the choke lever should be moved to the "START" position. The generator is started by gently pulling the startup handle until the cable is tight, then pulling with effort. Once started, the lever should be moved to the "RUN" position, and devices can be plugged in.
When connecting the generator as a backup power supply to a household power source, it is crucial that the connection is performed by a professional electrician or someone familiar with electricity to prevent damage, burning, or fire. The manual explicitly warns against connecting the generator to commercial power outlets. When extending cables, users must ensure they do not exceed the specified lengths and that the extension cable is protected by a tough and elastic rubber cover.
For shutting down the generator, the power cord should first be unplugged. The engine switch is then pressed to "OFF," and the fuel switch is turned to "ON." After the generator has completely cooled down, the ventilation knob on the fuel tank cap should be turned to "OFF."
The generator is designed for outdoor use only, in well-ventilated areas, and away from occupied buildings, with exhaust pointed away from people and structures. It should not be used indoors, in humid environments, or connected directly to household appliances. Smoking and spilling fuel during refueling are strictly prohibited, and the generator must be shut down before refueling.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the safe, economical, and reliable operation of the Genmax Inverter Generator. The manual provides a detailed maintenance schedule, outlining checks and replacements for various components at different intervals (e.g., every 1 month/20 hours, every 3 months/50 hours, 100 hours per year/use).
Key maintenance tasks include:
For long-term storage, specific measures are recommended to prevent aging. These include shutting down the generator, draining all fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, and then starting the engine to burn off any remaining fuel in the carburetor. The oil dipstick should be unscrewed, old oil drained, and new oil filled to the upper limit. Finally, the startup handle should be gently pulled until resistance is felt, closing both inlet and exhaust valves, and the generator should be stored in a clean, dry area.
When transporting the generator, it is essential to ensure no fuel spills, avoid overfilling the fuel tank, and prevent direct sunlight exposure. The generator should not be transported on rough roads for extended periods.
