Step 4 (Ti-1002 only):
⇒
Open the air vent valve on the fuel cap (Ti-1002 only)
⇒
Hold the fuel cap firmly so that it does not move and turn the vent valve clock-
wise to the open position.
Off
On
Step 5:
⇒
Hold the handle of the generator firmly with one hand.
⇒
Grip the recoil start handle and slowly pull the cord until it engages, then pull
sharply until the engine starts.
Note:
It may take a few sharp pulls to get the engine started.
Step 6:
⇒
Once the engine is running and warm enough, slide the choke lever to the right
’open’ position.
Note:
Once the engine has started slowly release the recoil and allow
the cord to be retracted.
Note (Ti-2002 only):
The 1st time the generator is used, if the fuel was
drained from the generator after its last use, or if the fuel ran out. Pump
the primer bulb 10 times to introduce fuel to the carburettor.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap and filter.
2. Clean the filter with solvent, if damaged then replace.
3. Wipe the filter and insert it back in.
4. Ensure the tank cap is tightly secured.
Clean The Spark Arrestor (periodically).
If the exhaust spark arrestor is unclean, the engines performance will be affected and
can cause excessive noise. Clean and maintain the spark arrestor regularly, every six
months and more frequently if the generator runs in an unclean area.
1. Remove the M6 screws and open the muffler cover.
2. Remove the two M4 screws on the spark arrestor.
3. Take out the spark arrestor.
4. Check the spark arrestor, clean or replace if necessary.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Hot Surfaces:
The muffler / exhaust reach temperatures that can cause
serious burns if touched, never touch hot surfaces. Before cleaning the
spark arrestor always make sure the generator has stopped and has
completely cooled down.
Transportation And Storage.
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator
should be stored upright in its normal operating position, ideally with all of the fuel re-
moved and with the engine switch off. The fuel cap vent (Ti-1002 only) lever is turned
counter clockwise to the off position - Allow the engine to cool well before turning the
fuel cap vent lever to the off position.
Long Term Storage (1 month or greater).
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Completely drain the fuel from the tank. Open the fuel valve, start the engine and
operate it in the idle position until all remaining fuel is used and the engine stops
automatically.
3. Discharge the oil.
4. Remove the spark plug and fill the cylinder with 1 tablespoon of fresh oil. Pull the
starting cord 3-4 times to discharge the remaining oil then reinstall the spark plug.
5. Pull the starting cord slowly until the resistance is strong, this indicates that the pis-
ton is moving to the top of the compression stoke and the valves will be closed.
