while charging. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
NOTE: Only use battery charging cable assembly to
charge vented wet lead acid batteries.
■ When batteries become fully charged, disconnect the
battery charging cable assembly from the battery.
Disconnect the negative (black) wire first, then the
positive (red) wire, being careful not to short across
the terminals. Always abide by the safety warnings
provided with the battery.
NOTE: Most batteries will be completely charged after
30 to 120 minutes. However, it is highly recommended
that you refer to your battery manufacturer's
instructions for specific charge times.
■ Unplug battery charging cable assembly and store for
later use.
USING THE GENERATOR
Connect devices to be powered by generator by following
the steps below:
■ Make sure the generator can supply enough
continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for
the items you will power at the same time. See the
Electrical section for how to calculate total amount of
power needed.
■ Start the generator with nothing connected.
■ Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load (highest wattage) you have.
■ Permit the generator output to stabilise (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
■ Plug in and turn on the next load.
■ Again, permit the generator to stabilise.
■ Repeat previous two steps for each additional load.
WARNING
Never add more loads than the generator capacity.
Take special care to consider surge loads in generator
capacity.
MOVING THE GENERATOR

fuel flow.
■ Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storing
the machine.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
The product is not designed for high-altitude operation
(altitudes greater than 1,500 m above sea level). Operating
the product in higher altitudes may increase the engine's
emissions, decrease fuel economy and performance and
reduce the generator life.
MAINTENANCE
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Always wear eye protection with side shields. Failure
to do so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended
to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other
parts should be replaced at an authorised service
centre.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance, stop the product
and ensure the engine/choke lever is in the off position.
Ensure the engine and exhaust of the product has
cooled down. Failure to heed this warning could result
in serious personal injury or could damage the product.
Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where
it is not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive
vapours. Do not allow the cooling air slots in the generator
to become clogged with foreign material such as leaves,
snow, etc.
Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
entering the fuel system or other internal parts of the
product can cause problems that will decrease the life of
the generator.
