OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into
the filler neck without screwing it in. If the level
is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the
recommended oil.
Use high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke
engine oil SAE 10W-30.
Warning!
Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine
oils will damage the engine and are not
recommended.
Low Oil Alert System
The low oil alert system is designed to prevent
engine damage caused by an insufficient
amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil
level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit,
the low oil alert indicator light turns on and the
low oil alert system will automatically shut down
the engine.
Note:
The engine switch will remain in the On
position. If the engine stops or the oil alert
indicator light turns on when you pull the starter
grip, check the engine oil level. Oil must be
added to the engine before it will re-start.
Fueling
Danger!
STOP engine before adding fuel. This engine is
certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and
spark plug deposits and extends exhaust
system life.
Warning!
Never use stale or contaminated
gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Replace and secure the fuel cap after adding
fuel, Fig 4.
Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where
the generator is refuelled or where Petrol is
stored.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
Do not let fuel spill over the generator casing. If
there is some fuel spillage, be sure that it has
evaporated before starting the engine.
Avoid touching gasoline or breathing in gasoline
fumes.
Starting the generator
AC Power Applications. Before using this
generator it must be prepared correctly before

away from buildings or other structures ensuring
that the exhaust is not obstructed.
Before starting the engine make sure that all the
electrical loads are disconnected from the
generator AC outlet socket.
