Starting the engine

WARNING.

 Before starting the motor, ensure you have  

filled the crank case to the correct level with oil.

Note.

 The crank case is not filled with oil from the factory.

1. Before starting, ensure that no electrical apparatus has 

been connected to the generator. 

2. Turn the fuel valve clockwise to the ‘on’ position.

3. Move the choke lever (12) towards the front of the generator. 

This is not necessary if the engine is already warm.

4. Turn the engine switch (8) to ‘on’.
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter (10) until you feel it engage 

and then pull it briskly. 

Note.

 When the motor is started for the very first time, it 

will require a number of attempts to start until the fuel has 

travelled from the tank to the motor.
6. Once you hear the motor operating, push the choke lever 

(12) slowly, back towards the rear of the generator. This 

position will switch the choke ‘off’.

Stopping the engine

1. Before stopping, ensure that 

no electrical apparatus is 

connected to the generator.

2. Turn the engine switch (8) to 

the ‘off’ position.

3. Turn the fuel lever anti 

clockwise to the ‘off’ position.

Connecting apparatus to the generator

1. Start the engine. Allow the 

motor to run for a couple of 

minutes to warm up prior to 

connecting any apparatus to 

the generator.

2. For AC current, plug the  

power cord into the AC output 

socket (6).

CAUTION.

• 

Ensure the electric apparatus is turned off before 

plugging in.

  Check to ensure that the total load is within the  

generator rated output.

3. For DC current, plug into 

the DC outlet socket (7). 

To charge your car battery, 

connect the DC plug (19) 

which have alligator clips to 

the corresponding terminals 

on your battery. The red 

lead goes to the positive (+) 

terminal and the black lead 

goes to the negative (-) terminal.  

This DC cord has been supplied with the unit.

Note.

 This usage is applicable to 12V battery charging only.
