STARTING THE GENERATOR

Take all plugs out of the sockets and switch the thermal safeguard OFF.

Switch the fuel tap to the ON position

Depress the choke handle to the 'choke' setting:

Press the ON/OFF switch to ON.

Pull the starter rope out until you feel resistance. Then pull the cord sharply all the way
out. Repeat this process until the engine starts.

Once the engine is warm, you can set the choke to 'run'.
Tips and warnings about use:
1.
After starting the engine, run without drawing any power for around 3 minutes. If the generator is
being used to power more than one device, connect them one by one, the most demanding first.
Most devices require more power when starting than during operation (peak flow); be careful that you
do not exceed the maximum output of the socket!
2.
Check to ensure that all devices you wish to connect are in good condition before connecting to the
generator. If a device begins to work abnormally (works slowly or stops suddenly), switch the
start/stop switch on the device to OFF immediately. Disconnect the device and check it is working
correctly.
3.
In the event of overloading, the thermal safeguard will switch the generator off. If this happens,
disconnect all of the devices, wait a few minutes and then resume operation with a lower power
demand. If the voltmeter indicates a voltage that is too high/low, switch the generator off and try to
find the cause. The generator can work if the voltmeter indicates voltage between 210 and 250V
(50Hz).
4.
The direct current socket (DC 12V) can only be used for charging 12V batteries. Do not change the
cables around as this can cause serious damage to the generator and/or battery! Do not draw 12V-
DC and 230V-AC simultaneously.
5.
Any connection from the generator to a household mains network must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Incorrect connection could damage the generator or device or cause a fire.
Warning: never draw mains power and generator power at the same time for a domestic network!
STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Switch off the thermal safeguard.

Press the start/stop switch on the generator to OFF.

Connect the fuel tap.
NB: turn off the stop switch for an emergency stop.
REGULAR CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Regular checks and maintenance
Regular checks and maintenance are very important in order to keep the engine running reliably and in
good condition. The generator set comprises a petrol engine, generator, control panel and frame. Always
switch the engine off when doing any maintenance. If the engine is running, ensure it is located in a well
ventilated area. The exhaust gases contain toxic carbon monoxide gas.
After use, the engine must be cleaned with a clean cloth to prevent rust formation and deposits.
