Note: Smart Throttle Switch (fig.2) - This should be set to ON “I” in normal use. The engine will idle when electrical appliances are
not connected and will speed up when electrical appliances are connected.
When high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the Smart Throttle switch to the OFF ”0” position.
In DC applications, turn the Smart Throttle switch to the OFF ”0” position
Note: To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be earthed by connecting a length of heavy cable
from the generator’s ground terminal (fig.2) to a suitable earthing point.
3.3
USING THE GENERATOR - AC APPLICATIONS
!
WARNING! Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
3.3.1 Start the engine and ensure the green output indicator light illuminates (fig.2).
3.3.2 Connect the equipment to the generator socket.
3.3.3 The output indicator light will remain on during normal operation. If the generator overloads, i.e. in excess of 1kVA or there is a short in
the connected appliance, the red overload indicator light will illuminate (fig.2) and current to the connected appliance will be cut off.
3.3.4 If the red overload indicator light illuminates, stop the engine at once and investigate the source of the overloading.
Note: When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light and the output indicator light may come ON
simultaneously. If the overload indicator extinguishes after approximately four seconds, then this is normal.
3.4
USING THE GENERATOR - DC APPLICATIONS
!
WARNING! Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
Note: The DC socket can be used whilst the AC power is in use. If using both simultaneously, do not exceed the total power for
both AC and DC. When using DC application only - switch Smart Throttle switch to the OFF ”0” position.
The DC circuit has an overload protector that may trip in certain circumstances. If this happens wait for a minute and then
push in the protector reset button (fig.2) to resume operation.
3.4.1 Start the engine and ensure the green output indicator light illuminates (fig.2).
3.4.2 Connect the equipment to the generator socket.
3.4.3 The output indicator light will remain ON during normal operation. If the generator overloads, i.e. in excess of 100W or there is a short
in the connected appliance, the red overload indicator light (fig.2) will illuminate and current to the connected appliance will be cut off.
3.4.4 If the red overload indicator light illuminates, stop the engine at once and investigate the source of the overloading.
3.5
STOPPING THE ENGINE
3.5.1 Switch off the connected equipment and disconnect the equipment plug.
3.5.2 Turn the engine switch to the OFF “0” position.
3.6
BATTERY CHARGING
Note: In DC operation, turn the Smart Throttle switch to the OFF “0” position.
3.6.1 Connect the supplied charging cables to the DC socket of the generator and then to the battery’s terminals ensuring that the correct
polarity is observed.
Note: When charging a battery installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle’s battery earthing cable. Reconnect the earthing cable
after charging has been completed. Care should be taken when charging batteries, please refer to the battery manufacturer’s
guidelines.
3.6.2 Start the generator’s engine to charge battery. When charged sufficiently, stop generator and disconnect all cables.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
After first 10 hours, then every 100 hours.
4.1.1 Loosen the retaining screw and remove the front maintenance cover (fig.8).
4.1.2 Remove the oil filler cap.
4.1.3 Thoroughly drain the used oil into a container by tipping the generator (fig.9).
4.1.4 Refill the oil reservoir with the recommended oil and check the oil level (fig.3).
4.1.5 Replace the oil filler cap and then replace the front maintenance cover and tighten the retaining screw.
Note: Engine oil capacity is 0.25 litre.
4.2
AIR FILTER CLEANING
Every 50 hours.
4.2.1 Loosen the retaining screw and remove the front maintenance cover (fig.8).
4.2.2 Press the tab on top of the air filter body and remove the air filter cover (fig.10).
4.2.3 Inspect and replace the filter if necessary, or wash the filter in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent and dry it thoroughly.
4.2.4 Soak the element in clean engine oil and then squeeze out the excess oil.
4.2.5 Replace the air filter.
4.2.6 Replace the cover by inserting the lower tab and then the top tab.
4.2.7 Replace the front maintenance cover and tighten the retaining screw.
