12.2 Engine
Follow these steps to protect the cylinder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug, pour approximately one tablespoon of SAE 10W 30 oil into the hole of the spark plug,
and then reinstall the spark plug. Perform an incomplete engine start-up with the pull starter by making repeated
incomplete pulls (set to “OFF” with the 3-in-1 switch knob) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
2. Pull the pull starter until you feel resistance, and then stop pulling (this prevents the cylinders and valves from
rusting).
3. Clean the generator housing. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place with the cover over it.
13 Troubleshooting

1. Fuel systems
Fuel is not being fed into the combustion chambers.

“Installation and major repairs must only be carried out by trained personnel.”
2. Insufficient engine oil
The engine oil level is low... Add engine oil.
“May be performed by a layman.”
3. Electrical systems
Set the 3-in-1 switch to “CHOKE” and pull the pull starter... Poor spark formation. The spark plug is wet or con-
taminated with carbon... Remove the carbon deposits or rub the spark plug dry.
“May be performed by a layman.”
Faulty ignition system... contact a specialist.
“Installation and major repairs must only be carried out by trained personnel.”
13.2 The generator does not generate power
– Safety mechanism (DC overload protection function) is set to “OFF”... Set the DC overload protection function to
“ON”.
