CHECKING THE GENERATOR PRIOR TO USE
•
Check the fuel level and top up with unleaded petrol if necessary. Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no
fuel in the filler neck).
• After refuelling make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling
and
clean up any spilled or excess fuel
. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour can ignite when the engine
is started.
• The generator has a
maximum fuel capacity of 15 Litres
• Do not fill above the fuel filter top.
• Check the engine oil level and top up if necessary as shown in
Fig.1
.

remove the oil plug and add 2cc of engine oil before starting.

Warm up the engine without the load for about 3 minutes.
2.
Open the Fuel Cock.
3.
Put the starting switch into the "
RUN
" position.

Hold the starting/recoil handle loosely and pull the cord out it until you
feel resistance - then return it slowly.
CONNECTING EQUIPMENT TO THE GENERATOR
1.
Connect the equipment you want to use to the AC socket.

WARNING:
• Make sure there is no air in the fuel pipe when using the unit for the first time, starting the
unit or refuelling an empty tank. You can drain away air by loosening the connection
between the injection pump and pipeline then drain the air until the fuel comes out.
• Do not loosen or adjust either the engine speed limit bolt or fuel injection limit bolt. These
have been set to their optimum settings before leaving the factory.
• Never pull out the start handle when the engine is running. This is dangerous and can
damage the engine.
