APPLICATIONS
This generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools,
and motor loads.
BEFORE OPERATING THE PRODUCT
■ Only use outdoors and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
■ Never use inside a home or garage, even if the doors
and windows are open.
■ Always position the generator on a flat firm surface.
■ Check engine lubricant level and fill, if necessary.
Refer to the "Checking/adding lubricant" section in this
manual.
■ Check fuel level and fill, if necessary. Refer to the
"Checking/adding fuel" section in this manual.
CAUTION
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
fi lled with oil will result in equipment failure.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Please consult a qualifi ed electrician, electrical inspector,
or the local agency having jurisdiction:
■ In some areas, generators are required to be registered
with local utility companies.
■ If the generator is used at a construction site, there may
be additional regulations which must be observed.
CHECKING/ADDING LUBRICANT
See Figure 4
CAUTION
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
fi lled with oil will result in equipment failure. Engine
lubricant has a major infl uence on engine performance
and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE
10W-30 is recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor
lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service classifi cation SJ.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will
damage the engine and should not be used.
■ Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
■ Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-
thread.
■ Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level.
Lubricant level should fall between the minimum and
maximum marks on the dipstick.
■ If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises between the minimum and maximum marks on
the dipstick.
■ Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.
CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
See Figure 5
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely fl ammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle petrol with care. Keep away
from ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not
smoke while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding fuel to the generator, make sure the product
is sitting on a fl at, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
generator cool before adding gas. Always fi ll the fuel tank
outdoors with the machine turned off.
■ Remove the fuel cap.
■ Fill the fuel tank to 25 mm below the top of the fuel neck.
■ Replace and secure the fuel cap.
NOTE: Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
rating of 86 or higher. Never use old, stale, or contaminated
unleaded fuel, and do not use an oil/fuel mixture. Do not
allow dirt or water into the fuel tank. Do not use E85 fuel.
USING FUEL STABILISER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding
a fuel stabilizer extends the usable life of fuel and helps
prevent deposits from forming that can clog the fuel system.
Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer's directions for correct
ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
■ Add stabiliser to fuel tank, then fill with unleaded fuel
following previous instructions.
NOTE: Fuel stabiliser and unleaded fuel can be mixed prior
to filling the tank by using a gasoline can or other approved
fuel container and shaking gently to combine.
■ Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
