6. OPERATION
WARNING
• Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause
unconsciousness and death within a short time. Operate the engine
in a well ventilated area.
• Before starting the engine, do not connect any electric devices.
NOTICE
• The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Do not start the
engine till fill with the sufficient engine oil.
• Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in
overfilling and damage to the engine.
TIP:
The generator can be used with the rated output load at standard
atmospheric conditions.
“Standard atmospheric conditions”
Ambient temperature 25
Barometric pressure 100kPa
Relative humidity 30%
The output of the generator varies due to change temperature, altitude
(lower air pressure at higher altitude) and humidity.
The output of the generator is reduced when the temperature, the
humidity and the altitude are higher than standard atmospheric
conditions.
Additionally, the load must be reduced when using in a confined area, as
generator cooling is affected.
6.1 Starting the engine
1. Turn the ESC switch to “OFF” (1).
2. Turn the air vent knob to “ON” (2).
3. Turn the 3 in 1 switch to “CHOKE” (3),
a. Ignition circuit is switched on.
b. Fuel is switched on.
c. Choke is switched off
TIP:
The choke is not required to start a warm engine. Push the choke
knob in to the position “ON”.
4. Pull slowly on the recoil starter until
it is engaged, then pull it briskly.
TIP:
Grasp the carrying handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling
over when pulling the recoil starter.
5. After the engine starts, warm up the
engine until the engine does not stop
when the choke knob is returned to the
“ON” position (4).
TIP:
When starting the engine, with the ESC “ON”, and there is no load
on the generator:
• In ambient temperature below 0°C (32°F), the engine will run at the
rated r/min (4500r/min) for 5 minutes to warm up the engine.
• In ambient temperature below 5°C (41°F), the engine will run at the
rated r/min (4500r/min) for 3 minutes to warm up the engine.
• The ESC unit operates normally after the above time period, while the
ESC is “ON”.
