Usage Features

The generator is designed for straightforward operation, with several key features to ensure ease of use and safety:

Starting the Generator:
1. Ensure no appliances are connected to the generator.
2. Turn the fuel faucet to the "ON" position.
3. Open the air lever (choke).
4. For models 60100-60104A, move the air regulation lever to "1" (left).
5. Pull the recoil starter to start the engine.
6. Once the engine starts, regulate the airflow as needed.
7. The generator is equipped with a main switch (ON/OFF) and a circuit breaker for overload protection.
Stopping the Generator:
1. Before switching off, disconnect all connected appliances.
2. Move the switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Turn the fuel faucet to the "OFF" position.
Electrical Connections:
- The generator provides a 230V/50Hz AC socket (16A) and a 12V DC socket.
- It is essential to use appropriate cables and ensure proper grounding of the generator before use.
- Avoid connecting appliances that exceed the generator's maximum power output.
- The generator is equipped with a voltmeter to display the output voltage.
Safety Precautions:
- Always operate the generator in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Keep the generator away from flammable substances and open flames.
- Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot.
- Avoid touching hot parts of the engine and exhaust during operation.
- Ensure the generator is placed on a stable, level surface.
- Maintain a safe distance from walls and other objects (minimum 1 meter from walls, 1.5 meters from the ceiling) to ensure adequate cooling.
- In case of an electrical overload, the circuit breaker will trip to protect the alternator.
- Do not use the generator in rain or snow.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating or maintaining the generator.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the POLAR power generator.

Spark Plug Cleaning/Replacement:
- Check the spark plug every 3 months or 50 hours of operation.
- Remove the spark plug cap and unscrew the spark plug.
- Inspect for residues, wear, or insulation damage. Clean with a wire brush or replace if necessary.
- Measure the distance between the electrodes (0.7-0.8 mm) and adjust if needed.
- The recommended spark plug type is F7TC.
Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement:
- Clean the air filter every 3 months or 50 hours of operation, or replace if necessary.
- Open the cover of the air filter box.
- Remove and clean the sponge element with water and soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Soak the element in clean engine oil, squeeze out excess oil, and reinsert it.
- Close the cover securely.
Fuel Filter and Pipes Maintenance:
- Regularly check fuel pipes for cuts or cracks and ensure joints are solid.
- Verify there are no fuel leaks. Replace if necessary.
- Clean fuel tap and fuel filters every 6 months or 100 hours of operation.
- Close the fuel faucet, unscrew the cup placed on the bottom of the fuel faucet, and clean it with a non-flammable solvent.
- Refit the cup, replace the gasket if damaged, and open the faucet to check for leaks.
- Clean the fuel filter on the tank daily with a non-flammable solvent.
General Maintenance:
- Periodically check all screws and nuts for tightness.
- Lubricate moving parts as recommended.
- Store the generator in a dry, clean place, protected from dust and moisture.
- For prolonged storage, drain the fuel tank and carburetor to prevent fuel degradation and potential engine damage.
- The manufacturer recommends replacing the muffler every 100 hours of use for optimal performance.
- Ensure the generator is always clean and free from debris.
- Periodically check the oil level (for models requiring oil).
- Verify the fuel mixture ratio for 2-stroke engines.

This comprehensive description covers the essential aspects of the POLAR power generator, including its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance requirements, ensuring users can operate and maintain the device effectively and safely.
