See Figure 3.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the 

information on the product and in this operator’s manual as well 

as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use 

of this product, familiarise yourself with all  operating features 

and safety rules.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The circuit breaker is provided to protect the generator against 

electrical  overload  and  can  be  used  to  turn  the  generator’s 

electrical power on or off.

AIR fILTER

The air filter helps to limit the amount of dirt and dust drawn 

into the unit during operation.  

CHOKE LEVER

The choke lever is used when starting the engine. 

ENGINE sWITCH

The engine switch is used in combination with the recoil starter 

grip to start the generator. It is also used to turn the generator off.

fUEL LEVEL GAUGE

Consult the fuel level gauge to determine the amount of fuel 

remaining in the generator.

fUEL TANK

25 litres

fUEL VALVE

The  flow  of  fuel  through  the  generator  is  controlled  by  the 

position of the fuel valve.

GROUND TERmINAL

The ground terminal is used to assist in properly grounding 

the generator to help protect against electrical shock. Consult 

with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.

OIL DRAINAGE BOLT

When changing the engine oil, the oil drainage bolt is loosened 

to allow old engine oil to be drained.

OIL CAp/DIpsTICK

Remove the oil fill cap to check and add oil to the generator 

when necessary.

RECEpTACLEs

Your generator has the following single phase, 50 Hz outlets: 

one 230 Volt AC, 16 Amp receptacle. These can be used for 

operating appropriate appliances, electrical lighting, tools, and 

motor loads.

RECOIL sTARTER GRIp

The recoil starter grip is used (along with the engine switch) to 

start the generator’s engine.

DC TERmINALs

The  DC  terminals  may  ONLY  be  used  for  charging  12  volt 

automotive type batteries.
The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal 

and black to identify the negative (-) terminal. The battery must 

be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper 

polarity ( battery positive to generator red terminal and battery 

negative to the generator black terminal).

DC CIRCUIT pROTECTOR 

The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery 

charging circuit when the DC charging circuit is overloaded, when 

there is a problem with the battery, or when the connections 

between the battery and the generator are improper.
