Oil Change
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to ensure rapid and complete
draining.
WARNING!
MAKE SURE TO TURN THE ENGINE SWITCH
AND FUEL LEVER ARE OFF BEFORE DRAINING.
1. Using a spanner remove the oil
drain screw.
2. Tilt the generator and spill out the oil into a suitable container.
3. Refit the oil drain screw and refill with new oil, check the oil level
with the dipstick as described in
“Checking the Oil”
section.
Note:
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. Do not throw it in the rubbish bin or pour it on the
ground.
Air Filter Service
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor. To prevent
carburettor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the generator in extremely dirty areas.
1. Remove the air filter
locking knob and remove
the cover.
2. Check the air filter sponge is
intact and clean, if not rinse
with water and allow to dry or
replace the filter.
Note:
It is normal for a little oil to appear under the air filter box if the
generator is running for a long period of time, or if a lot of oil is in the
engine. Wipe up the excess oil after each use and after stopping the
generator.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE PETROL OR LOW FLASH POINT
SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. THEY ARE FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
WARNING!
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE AIR
CLEANER. RAPID ENGINE WEAR WILL RESULT FROM
CONTAMINANTS SUCH AS DUST AND DIRT BEING DRAWN
THROUGH THE CARBURETTOR, INTO THE ENGINE.
WARNING!
DO NOT REMOVE THE FRONT PANEL WHILE
THE GENERATOR IS RUNNING.
