3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
p
p
WARNING! Before use, ensure that you read, understand and apply with the safety instructions in this document. Ensure that
you fully understand the application, limitations and hazards of the generator.
p
p
WARNING! Never connect the generating set earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry flammable substances such as gas or
domestic fuel and there is a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
p
p
WARNING! Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
p
p
WARNING! If the generator is being used after storage of more than 30 days, remove the desiccant bags from the alternator
and the plastic tape from the air inlet and outlet ports - see 5.7.

IMPORTANT! The generator must not be more than 10
O
(13%) from the horizontal in any plane.
3.1.
EARTHING
3.1.1. The generator must be earthed every time it is used, to reduce the chance of electric shock. To do this, use a 10mm² copper wire and
bolt it to the generator earth point (fig. 1.1). Connect the other end to an earthing rod which has been driven into the ground to a
depth of one metre. This earthing connection will also dissipate any static electricity generated by the electrical equipment.
3.2.
PRE START-UP
3.2.1. The battery is supplied charged but dry and the electrolyte (sulphuric acid) must be added before first use. Ensure that you
have read and understood the battery safety instructions in Section 1 and then follow the manufacturers instructions
supplied with the battery.
3.2.2. Once the electrolyte has been added, clamp the battery to the battery plate on the generator frame, as shown in fig. 1.2, and connect
the positive (red) and negative (black) wires to the positive and negative battery terminals respectively.

WARNING!
Check the engine oil level before each start-up. Only use an approved oil and NEVER operate the engine with insufficient oil.
3.2.3. Ensure that the generator set is on a flat horizontal surface and that the engine is not running and is cold.
3.2.4. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick (fig. 2.D) and wipe the dipstick clean.
3.2.5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but
DO NOT
screw it in.
3.2.6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be between the two lines (fig. 3) - never below the lower and never above the
higher. If the level is too low (below the lower line), top-up the oil and recheck the level.
3.2.7. Replace the dipstick and screw in.
3.2.8. Turn on the fuel valve (located behind air filter/fuel filter access panel, see fig. 9).
3.3.
FILLING WITH FUEL
p
p
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
Allow cool down time.
p
p
WARNING! Diesel is flammable and the vapour is explosive.
p
p
WARNING! Never use an oil/fuel mixture or any polluted fuel. Fuel substitutes or
additives are not recommended.
3.3.1. Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected.
3.3.2. Ensure the area around the fuel tank filler is clean.
3.3.3. Remove the fuel tank filler cap, check the level of the fuel and refill if necessary.
3.3.4. Do not over-fill the fuel tank, always leave room for the fuel to expand.
