3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK cont.
•
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
NOTE:
The Low Oil System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the
safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to
visually inspect the oil level on a daily and regularly basis.
STEP 2.
Check the fuel level.
Use ONLY Unleaded Petrol.
Remove fuel tank cap (anti-clockwise). If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank until the level
reaches the upper limit mark at the top of the fuel filter.
Do not use an oil/petrol mixture or dirty or contaminated petrol.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
After refuelling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
•
Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the generator is being refuelled.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank - there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark. After refuelling,
make sure the fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact of petrol with skin or breathing of petrol vapour.
•
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
