- These sockets can be loaded continuously with 2000W and temporarily for a maximum of 2 minutes with 2200W. The generator is suitable for 230 V appliances.
- Do not connect the generator to the domestic power network as this may result in damage to the generator itself or to other electrical appliances in your home.
- Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws, drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power consumption when used in difficult conditions.
- Switching Off the Engine:
- Before you switch off the generator, allow it to run briefly with no consumers so that it can "cool down."
- Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to the "OFF" position.
- Close the petrol cock.
- Important: The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This shuts down the sockets (3). You can restart the sockets (3) by pressing the overload cut-out (5).
- Important: If this happens, reduce the electric power you are taking from the generator or remove any defective connected appliances.
- Note: Defective overload cut-outs must be replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical design and with the same performance data. If repairs are necessary, please contact your customer service center.
- Automatic Oil Cut-Out: The automatic oil cut-out responds if there is too little oil in the engine. In this case, it will not be possible to start the engine or it will cut out automatically after a short period of time. It cannot be started again until the engine oil has been topped up.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the WORCRAFT GG-2700 generator.
- General Maintenance:
- Always ensure the generator is placed on a clean, dry, and well-ventilated surface.
- Before any maintenance, disconnect the spark plug and ensure the engine is cool.
- In the event of unusual vibrations or noise, or if the engine appears to be overloaded or misfires, stop operation and consult a service station.
- Cleaning:
- Keep all safety devices, air vents, and the motor housing free of dirt and dust.
- Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
- Regularly clean the equipment with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
- Inspection and Cleaning Air Cleaner:
- A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor and cause poor engine performance.
- Inspect the air cleaner each time the engine is operated. You will need to clean the air cleaner more frequently if you operate the engine in very dusty areas.
- Procedure:
- Remove the air cleaner cover and foam element.
- Remove the paper element from the air cleaner base.
- Tap the paper element several times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa)) through the filter from the wire screen side. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty.
- Wash the foam element in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
- Reinstall the air cleaner element, and make sure both elements are properly positioned. Install the air cleaner cover and tighten the two wing bolts securely.
- Maintaining the Spark Plug:
- Important: Incorrect spark plugs can cause engine damage.
- Procedure:
- Disconnect the cap from the spark plug, and remove any dirt from the spark plug area.
- Use the proper size spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
- Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if damaged, badly fouled, if the sealing washer is in poor condition, or if the electrode is worn.
- Measure the electrode gap with a suitable gauge. The correct gap is 0.028 - 0.031 in (0.70-0.80 mm). If adjustment is needed, correct the gap by gently bending the side electrode.
- Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
- After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the proper size spark plug wrench to compress the washer.
- When reinstalling the original spark plug, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
- When installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
- Notice: A loose spark plug can become very hot and can damage the engine. Over-tightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the cylinder head.
- Attach the spark plug cap to the spark plug.
- Filling Up Fuel:
- Warning: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.
- Always add the fuel in an outdoor environment, when the engine is cold. Carefully wipe away any stains or drops.
- Do not smoke when adding petrol. Do not pour fuel into the generator in the vicinity of an open fire or sparks.
- Procedure:
- Remove the fuel tank cap.
- Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level limit in the neck of the fuel tank.
- Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.
- Fuel tank capacity: 15 L.
- Checking the Oil Level and Adding Motor Oil:
- Change oil after the first 15 hours of operation. Check the engine oil level every 20 hours of operation. Change oil again after a year of operation.
- Procedure:
- Take out the oil dipstick, clean it using a cloth and reinsert it into the hole.
- Then take the dipstick out again and read off the oil level. If the oil level is below the "Min" mark, slowly pour oil into the filling tube until the oil level reaches the "Max" (full) mark on the oil dipstick. Do not overfill the tank.
- Put the oil dipstick back into place.
- Oil Change:
- Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm, as warm oil drains quickly and completely.
- Procedure:
- Place a suitable container next to the engine to catch the used oil.
- Remove the drain bolt and drain the oil into the container by slightly tipping the engine toward the oil filler cap/dipstick.
- Dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take used oil to a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
- With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil.
- Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use oil for four-stroke engines. For normal use, we recommend using SAE 5W-40.
- Notice: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
- Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
Storage, Troubleshooting, Disposal and Recycling
- Before Storing Generator for Extended Period of Time:
- Be sure storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
- Drain fuel into suitable container.
- Change engine oil.
- Remove spark plug. Add a tablespoon of clean engine oil into spark plug hole. Place rag over spark plug hole and pull recoil starter handle slowly to turn engine and distribute oil. Reinstall spark plug. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both intake and exhaust valves are closed. Storing engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion.
- Transportation:
- When transporting the generator, close the petrol cock. Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Fuel fumes or drops can cause fire. A hot engine or exhaust system can cause burns or ignite some materials. Before loading generator into a transport, allow the engine to cool down. Be careful not to let the generator during transportation and damaging it. Do not place heavy objects on generator.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a table for common faults, their causes, and remedies.
