Before starting the engine, 

Before starting the engine, make sure that the power rating of power consumers matches that of the generator. Do 

not exceed the nominal power of the generator. Do not connect any devices before you start the engine!

Do not connect any devices before you start the engine!

GETTING STARTED

7

Do not change the controller settings in terms of the amount of 

fuel or speed governor (this adjustment was made at the factory). 

Otherwise, this may result in changes in the engine operation or 

its failure.

IMPORTANT!

In the power supply mode, the generator should operate no longer 

than 15 minutes in the range from nominal to maximum power.

ATTENTION – DANGER!

COMMISSIONING

In the first 20 operating hours of the generator, the following requirements should be met:

1.  During commissioning, do not connect power consumers, the power of which exceeds 50% of the nominal 

(operating) power of the device.

2.  After commissioning, be sure to change the oil. It is better to drain oil while the engine is still hot after operation 

to ensure quick and complete oil draining.

Before starting to use the generator, connect the ground wire to 

the ground terminal.

IMPORTANT!

Useful tip: to ensure long-term operation of the generator engine, 

it is important to observe the following tips:

- Before connecting the load, allow the engine to run for 1-2 minutes to warm it up.

-  When  disconnecting  the  load  after  lengthy  operation,  do  not  turn  off  the  generator.  Allow  the 

generator to run idle for 1-2 minutes so that it cools down.

IMPORTANT!

Do  not  connect  two  or  more  devices  at  a  time.  The  start-

up  of  many  devices  requires  high  power.  Devices  should 

be  connected  one  at  a  time  according  to  their  power  rat-

ing.  Do  not  connect  any  power  consumers  within  the  first

 

2 minutes after the generator has been started.

ATTENTION – DANGER!

DISCONNECT ALL DEVICES BEFORE STOPPING THE GENERATOR!

Do not stop the generator if it has any devices connected to it. This may disable the generator or devices connected 

to it!

ENGINE START

Do not connect any power consumers to the generator before you start the engine. Turn the ECON switch to the “OFF” 

position. Turn the air choke control knob to the “CLOSE” position. Turn the fuel valve handle to the “ON” position 

(OPEN). Set the engine switch to “ON”. Pull the manual starter until a slight resistance is felt, then pull it toward you 

relatively sharply. Slowly turn the manual starter by hand, do not release it abruptly. When starting the generator, 

hold the generator by the carrying handle to prevent the generator from falling. Slowly turn the air choke control knob 

to the “OPEN” position and then warm up the engine for 1-2 minutes. If the engine does not start, check the oil level. 

Before turning on the connected device, check that the ECON switch is in the “OFF” position.
