  7. Oil filler/ dip stick

8. Never touch the generator with wet hands.
9. Do not cover the generator with a cloth. 

The machine 

    needs a free flow of air to operate.

10. Always ground (earth) the generator.
11. Do not connect the generator to commercial power

      outlet.
12. Do not connect the gnerator with another generator.
13. Do not fill above fuel filter top.
14. Fuel is easily evaporated. After refuel please screw 

      the tank cover tightly, please use unleaded petrol 

      #93 or more.

Place generator on level ground, keep balance.

NOTE:

The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. When 

the generator new from the package, contains no oil in the 

crankcase. You must add the proper amount of oil before

operating the generator for the first time. This amount, which 

is equal to the oil capacity (0.6L) of the engine crankcase.

If you are using the generator for the FIRST TIME, there 

are a few steps you must take to prepare it for operation.

ADD OIL

USING THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME

SUBSEQUENT USE OF THE GENERATOR

CAUTION!

Do not apply engine oil with additives or 2-stroke petrol 

engine oil, as they haven’t enough lubrication, which may 

shorten the engine’s service life.

Please use 4-stroke petrol engine oil.

To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine (Fig. 1).

3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil into the 

    crankcase. You will know the crankcase is full when the oil 

    level has reached the lower lip of the opening you have 

    just poured the oil into (Fig. 2).

4. Replace oil filler cap.

Petrol and fuel fumes are highly flammable.

• Do not fill tank near an open flame.

• Do not overfill. Always check for fuel spills.

To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, 

UNLEADED FUEL WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 93 OR 

HIGHER. 
To add petrol:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

2. Unscrew fuel cap and set aside. 

NOTE:

 the fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.

3. Slowly add unleaded petrol to the fuel tank. The fuel 

    tank capacity is 15L (4.0 gallons), be careful not to overfill. 

    The fuel gauge on the top of the generator indicates how 

    much petrol is in the generator fuel tank.

NOTE: 

fuel can expand. Do not fill the fuel tank to the 

                very top.

4. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled petrol with a 

    dry clothe.

• Never use an oil/petrol mixture.

• Never use old fuel.

• Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

• fuel can age in the tank and make it hard to start up the 

  generator in the future. Never store generator for extended 

  periods of time with fuel in the tank.

WARNING!

If this is NOT YOUR FIRST TIME using the generator 

there are still steps you should take to prepare it for 

operation.

At this point you should be familiar with the procedures 

described in the first portion of this section entitled "USING 

THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME." If you have not
