Grounding the generator
• DO NOT connect to a commercial power outlet.
• DO NOT connect to a second generator.
Air Filter
Double-check the filter cartridges are clean and in good
working condition. Clean or replace cartridges if needed.
Never start the motor if the air filter is not
ready. The motor will wear out faster.
To prolong the useful life of the generator, when using it for
the first time, let it run during 10 hours at 25% - 50% of its
rated load. After changing the motor oil use the generator
as instructed in this Manual.
Starting the motor
Before starting the generator do not connect any power
device.
1. Turn the fuel tap to the
ON (open) position
2. Set the choke lever on the
OFF (closed) position.
3. Place the engine switch in
the ignition position (ON).
Operation
• Use caution when filling up the generator. Do not spill fuel
on the motor or silencer.
• In the event of accidentally swallowing any amount of
fuel, inhaling vapors or fuel gets into your eyes see a doctor
immediately.
Any amount of fuel spilled on your skin or clothes should be
washed with soap and water. Change your clothing.
Do not fill up more than indicated (fuel should not be up to
the tank neck). After filling up verify the cap is adequately
closed. (Figure 4)
Using unleaded fuel is recommended since it produces
fewer residues in the spark plug and motor and lengthens
the useful life or the unit parts.
Never use contaminated or spoiled fuel nor gasoline and
oil mix. Avoid dust, residues or water entering into the fuel
tank. The use of low-octane gasoline could cause “buzzing”
or “backfire” (metallic banging noise). If it worsens could
damage the motor.
If, “backfire” or “buzzing” are present
when running the motor in a stable speed and low load
change the gasoline brand. If the problem is still present
consult with a Truper Authorized Service Center. Failure to
follow these instructions will be considered misuse of the
generator and the warranty will get void.
Occasionally while running the generator with heavy loads
you will notice small backfire sounds. This is not a motive of
concern. It means the motor is running adequately.
Fuel tank capacity: 7.4 gallons
• Avoid spilling fuel when filling up. Spilled fuel or
excessive vapors could cause explosion. Clean the fill up
area if fuel was spilled. Verify the area is dry before starting
the motor.
• Keep away from the reach of children.
• Before buying gasoline in a new gas station try to find
if it has alcohol. In which case double check type and
percentage of alcohol used.
If noticing any undesired sign while using gasoline
containing alcohol, or gasoline you believe contains alcohol,
change for gasoline with no alcohol.
