5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL: Check engine oil every time you use the generator. If low refill it.
Change engine oil after first month or after 20hrs operation and thereafter
every 3 months or 100 hours of operation, in both cases whichever is

load. Starting and stopping under load will damage the
generator and powered accessories.
!
output must only be used briefly or generator damage will occur.
! DC output to be used for charging automotive and solar 12V batteries only.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting cables, i.e. +ve to +ve and-ve to -
ve generator to battery terminals.
! Ensure the generator is properly earthed. Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
Ensure the total load does not exceed the generator rating. Maximum power
3. ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS
