STARTING

1.  Turn the main AC switch to the ‘OFF’ position.

2.  Make sure that the machine has fuel for the task.

3.  Make sure the emergency STOP switch is out (turn anti-clockwise).

4.  Set the engine speed lever is set to ‘RUN’.

5.  Turn the starting key clockwise to the ‘START’ position. Remove your 

hand from the key as soon as the engine starts.

6.  If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, wait 15 seconds before 

trying again. Excessive start attempts will cause the battery to flatten.

7.  If it does not start after 3 attempts, or runs intermittently with excessive 

smoke check that the fuel system is fully primed.

8.  Always leave the key in the ‘ON’ position whilst the engine is running.

9.  Run machine for two minutes before applying load

10.  Insert the plug into the socket you are about to use.

11.  Turn the main AC switch to the ‘ON’ position and turn the electrical 

appliance ‘ON’.

Checks before use

1.  Any abnormal sound or vibration?
2.  Is the engine misfiring or running rough?
3.  What about the color of the exhaust gas? (ls it black or too white?). If 

you notice any situation mentioned above, please contact SGS. 

PRIMING THE GENERATOR

Before starting to prime make sure that there is fuel in tank and that you 
can contain any fuel spilt.

1.  Release the pipe clip on the diesel fuel line connected to the injector 

pump. Make sure you pinch the fuel line and then release slowly until 
all air is released and fuel appears.

2.  When fuel appears replace pipe onto the injector pump and replace 

clip. Clear up any fuel spills before restarting.

3.  The above may be necessary when new, or if the machine runs out of 

fuel.
