PRE-OPERATE INSPECTION
Engine oil
STARTING THE ENGINE
Air cleaner
● Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine’s
performance. Do not use engine oil with additives or
2-stroke gasoline engine oil, as they haven’t enough
lubrication, which may shorten the engines service life.
● Check the engine when it on a level ground.
Recommended engine oil: SAE10W-30
As viscosity varies with regions and temperatures, so the
lubricant has to be selected in accordance with our
recommendation. (Fig. 6)
Use cleanser-free oil or two-stroke engine oil will shorten
the machine’s life.
Check steps
：
1
）
Ensure that the engine is stops on a level ground.
2
）
Remove the dipstick and clean it. (Fig.7)
3
）
Reinsert the dipstick into the oil filler without screwing it,
and check oil height.
4
）
if the oil level is too low, fill the recommended oil to the
upper level mark.
5
）
Reinstall oil plug and dipstick.
1. Push the fuel cock to “ ON ”. (Fig.9)
2. Push the choke lever to “ CLOSE ”. (Fig.10)
3. Push the throttle to “FAST” slowly. (Fig.11)
4. Start the engine as follows:
a). Hand-operated kick-starter
Pull slightly the starting rope handle up until feeling
anti-action, and then make a rapid pull.
CAUTION!
Releasing the handle suddenly may make it hitting the
engine. Release the handle slowly conforming with its
recoiling force.
b) Electric starter
Push the engine switch to “START” and keep 5 seconds to
make it start. (Fig.13)
CAUTION!
Use the engine switch not than 5 minutes each time to
avoid damage of the engine. Try again 10 seconds later
after last attempt failures. Once engine starts, push the
engine switch to “ON”.
Dismantle the air cleaner cover, and check its filter element,
make sure it clean and intact. Otherwise clean or replace it.
(Fig. 8)
CAUTION!
1. Do not allow the engine in operation without air
cleaner, or it will speedup its abrasion.
2. Keep dust and fragment out of the air cleaner
housing.
Fuel and fuel tank
The engine must apply unleaded gasoline with an octane
number over 86.
Using unleaded gasoline will decrease the possibility of
producing carbon deposit and will prolong the engine’s
service life.
Never apply used or polluted gasoline or a mixture of
gasoline with engine oil. Make sure the fuel is free of dirt
and water.
b) Remotely –controlled throttle valve and Manually-con-
trolled choke valve (Fig. 4)
c) Manually-controlled throttle valve and Manually-con-
trolled choke valve
2. Put the levers of both the choke and throttle on the
controlled pedestal.
CAUTION!
1. Run with insufficient engine oil may severe damage the
engine.
2. Please stop the engine and check it on ground level.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
PPE devices (ear protection, gloves) should be used
before start the engine.
RUNNING THE ENGINE
1. If the engine stars when the choke knob “CLOSE”,
please push it to “ON” immediately after the engine runs
smoothly. (Fig.14)
2. Set the throttle lever in proper position to ensure the
engine runs at required velocity. (Fig.15)
Engine oil alarm
The engine oil alarm is designed to function when the
engine oil in the crankcase is insufficient. Lack of engine oil
may damage the engine. Once oil level in the crankcase is
too low, the engine oil alarm will stop the engine
automatically to make it free of damage while the engine
switch is still at “ON ”.
CAUTION!
If cannot restart the engine, check the engine oil level
first before go to other check items.
CAUTION!
This generator offers two 230-volt power outlets, each of
which could supply power up to 16A/3680W, please pay
attention to your appliance or tool power before usage.
NOTE: The generator shall only be loaded up to the rated
power under the rated standard ambient condition , if the
condition do not conform the refrence standard condition or
cooling of the engine or alterator is impaired ,it is necessary
to reduce the power of generator.
Below is the refrence standard condition:
a) Ambient air temperature: 25
℃
b) Ambient air pressure: 100 kpa
c) Relative humidity: 30%
