• Check to ensure that the fuel drain (13) has been tightened and that fuel is
not leaking.
• Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
• Wipe o spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
• Ensure you DO NOT fuel the generator in close proximity to any open
ames, lit cigarettes, or hot objects.
• The generator should also be located in an open area with fresh air and NOT
in a conned area.
WARNING: Ensure the engine is switched o while undertaking
this task.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (2) by rotating in an anticlockwise direction.
2. Remove the fuel tank inlet lter (27) and ensure it is clean and free of debris.
Check the level of fuel is sucient.
3. If the fuel tank inlet lter (27) was removed to check the fuel level, ensure it
is replaced back before adding fuel.
4. To add fuel, pour the unleaded fuel from an approved fuel container into the
fuel tank (1). As fuel expands, DO NOT FILL to the lip of the tank. Maximum
ll is to the top of the fuel tank inlet lter (27) rim.
5. Replace fuel tank cap (2) turning in a clockwise direction to lock.
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine of this generator is NOT lled with oil when unpacked.
Prior to starting the engine ensure the oil tank is lled with SAE 10W-30
4 stroke oil. For the rst time ll the engine should be lled with 600ml
of SAE 10W-30 oil. We recommend GARDENLINE Full Synthetic 4 Stroke Oil.
NOTE: Damage to the engine is not covered under warranty if the engine is
run with insucient oil.
1. Before checking or relling oil, be sure the generator is put on a stable and
level surface, ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
2. Remove the oil ller cap (15) by rotating the cap in an anti-clockwise
direction, and wipe all oil residue o the oil dipstick (15) with a clean rag.
Re insert the oil ller cap / dipstick (15) and thread the cap fully in position.
Then remove the oil ller cap / dipstick (15) by rotating in an anti clockwise
direction and view the oil level on the oil dipstick (15).

In any of the above instances, when the red load status indicator light
(8) turns on, the power supply to the control panel will be disconnected
automatically.
NOTE:
The engine must be stopped and the issue resolved before the
power supply will be restored.
3. Power Supply indicator (Fig N)
The power supply indicator light (9) is a green LED. It will only display
green when there is a 240V output available, thus the generator must be
operating. This indicator will remain on when the generator is operating and
has 240Va.c. available to the control
panel, with or without appliances
connected to the AC sockets (12).
In an overload condition, there is no
240Va.c. available to the panel so the
green indicator will not operate.
Preparing the Generator
It is important to check the generator
before you commence operating the unit.
IMPORTANT. Ensure that the engine has oil. When leaving the factory,
this generator has NO OIL in the engine.
NOTE. The engine will not start if the generator has no oil.
Checking the Engine Fuel
IMPORTANT: Fuel goes o after about 3-4 months. If you nd your generator
does not start, rst change the fuel in the tank with newly purchased fresh
unleaded fuel. Do not use ethanol based fuels.
WARNING.
• Do not rell fuel tank (1) while engine is running or is hot.
