Checking the engine oil
The motor of this generator is not filled with oil when unpacked.
Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is filled with
SAE #30 4 stroke oil.
Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty if the
motor is run with insufficient oil.
1. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the generator is
put on a stable and level surface, ensuring the engine has
been switched OFF.
2. Remove the oil filler cap (7) by rotating the cap anti-
clockwise and inspect to see the oil level.
3. Always fill the motor with
oil to the point where the
oil is just overflowing
from the filling neck.
Do Not start the
generator when the oil is
near the low level mark.
Check and fill before
each use.
Note. Do not screw in the oil filler cap (7) when checking
oil level, simply insert and pull the cap straight out.
4. If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure you
change the oil. Refer to the
‘Engine oil replacement’
section for instructions.
Note.
This motor is fitted with a low oil sensor. If the oil level
is too low the motor will stop operating or the motor will
not start. It is advised to check the oil level each time the
generator is used.
Battery start connection
When unpacked, this generator is not fully connected to the
starting battery (22) and will require the negative wire to be
connected to the battery as follows.
1. Check the Red positive wire is connected to the battery
terminal and the insulating cover is fully pulled over the
terminal.
2. Remove the nut and bolt from the negative terminal.
3. Refit the bolt through the negative terminal and with the
insulation cap pulled bag on the black wire, fit the eyelet
of the black negative wire on the bolt through the negative
terminal.
4. Fit the nut on the bolt
through the negative
terminal and secure firmly.
Recheck the connections
ensuring the red wire has
been fitted to the + terminal
in the factory and the
black wire which has just
been connected is to the -
terminal.
5. Refit the insulation cover on
the black wire to completely
cover the terminal. Also
recheck the red termination
and ensure the cover is
fully fitted.
Note.
The charge from the
battery will vary and may
not be sufficient to start the
generator. If this is the case,
start the generator manually
as descried in the section,
“Starting the generator
manually”. The battery will
charge while the generator is
operating.
