Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity
can damage generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it.
•See "Don't Overload Generator".
•Start generator and let engine stabilize before
connecting electrical loads.
•Connect electrical loads in OFF position , then turn
ON for operation.
•Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from
generator before stopping generator.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use
the following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.
IMPORTANT
: Failure to start and operate unit on a
level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut
down during operation.
2. Turn petrol valve to "
On
" position (Figure 3).
3. Petrol valve is shown in "
ON
" position.
4. Pull the choke level.
5. Insert the start key and then turn to "START" position;
6. Release the key and it will go back to "ON" position

or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit
is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit are equipped with a low oil
protection device. See engine manual.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Temperature
of muffler and nearby areas can reach or
exceed 65 'C (150°F).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves ,
grass , brush, ect. Can catch fire.
•DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
•Allow equipment to cool before touching.
•The generator must be at least 2m (5 ft) from
structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials.
•Keep at least 1m (3 ft) of clearance on all sides of
generator for adequate cooling, maintenance
and servicing.
Connecting Electrical Loads
•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
•Plug in and tum on the desired 220V (220/380V)
Volt AC, single phase or three phase, 50Hz
electrical loads.
•DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the single phase
generator.
•DO NOT connect 60 Hz loads to the 50 Hz
generator.
•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See "Don't
Overload Generator".
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
genera tor panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop
engine with electrical devices plugged in and
turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn back the start key to "OFF" position, switch off
the engine.
4. Move petrol valve to "Off ' position.
