Storage

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 

days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the 

generator for storage.

Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in 

enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach 

an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water 

heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

Ensure the fuel tank is fully drained of fuel.
Open the drain 16 on the carburettor to drain the fuel totally 

from the bowl.
Check the fuel tap is turned off.

Spark plugs

1. Remove spark plug (15) from the generator with the  

spark plug spanner socket supplied.

2. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3. Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug.  

The standard colour should be a tan colour.

4. Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be 

between 0.7 – 0.8mm (Fig. T).

5. The recommended spark plugs are as follows:
  BPR6ES (NGK) 

  RN11YC (Champion) 

  WR6DC (Bosch)
Model G1100KU
  W7RBC (Bosch)   

  RL87BC(Champion)   

  BPR7HS (NGK)

Engine oil replacement

1. Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the 

engine for several minutes. The stop the engine.

2. Remove oil filler cap (7).
3. Place an oil pan under the generator and commence 

removing the oil drain plug (25) so that the oil can be 

completely drained.

4. Check the oil drain plug (25), gasket, oil filler cap (7) and 

O-ring. If damaged, have these replaced.

5. Reinstall the oil drain plug (25).
6. Add engine oil to the upper level. Recommended 4 stroke 

engine oil is SAE #30.

CAUTION.

 Check that no foreign material, debris, dust 

enters the crankcase.

Air filter

It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper 

condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the filter has:

  Improperly been serviced.

   Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter due 

to improper installation and engine wear.

ALWAYS

 keep the filter clean at all times.

1a. (For A2300, G2300KU, 

G3800KU and G6000KU) 

Remove the air filter cover 

(13) on the side of the 

generator by unclipping the 

cover at the front side of 

the filter housing (Fig. U1).
