CHECK ENGINE OIL. Operating without oil will cause severe engine
damage and invalidate the warranty.
To start ensure ignition 'on', fuel valve 'on' and choke 'on' .Then either pull
starter cord (manual start) or turn key (electric start). For electric start do not
turn the engine on for more that 5 seconds. If it fails to start release the switch
and wait 15 seconds before re-trying. Switch off choke when engine has
started.
Check output voltage is 240V on the voltmeter. If not adjust engine speed. If
the speed setting is correct and the voltage is low then the generator is
overloaded and load must be reduced.
If more than one appliance is connected apply load progressively with
greatest load first.
4. GENERATOR OPERATION
WARNING
Always start generator before applying load by switching the
circuit breaker and stop the generator after disconnecting
load. Starting and stopping under load will damage the
generator and powered accessories.
3. ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS
!
!
!
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
WARNING
If the generator is to be connected for standby power use
ensure a qualified electrician is employed. The generator must
be isolated from the utility power when connected or serious
damage will result to the generator and house power circuits.
2. CONTROLS
All generators are fitted with the following:-
2 no 3 pin AC outlets, +ve and -ve DC connections. DG950 with one
outlet
Engine on/off switch.
Magnetic circuit breaker electric cutout.
Voltmeter (Not DG950)

5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
For Diesel engines see separate engine manual. The below instructions apply to
petrol versions only.
ENGINE OIL
Check engine oil daily. If low refill with SAE30.
Change engine oil after first month or after 20hrs operation and thereafter every 3
months or 50 hours of operation, in both cases whichever is sooner.
AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner every 3 months or after 50 hours operations, whichever is
the sooner. Clean by blowing away accumulated dust and soaking in kerosene.
SPARK PLUG
A correctly set spark plug in good condition is essential for efficient engine
operation. Check the plug every 3 months or after 50 hours operation, clean with
a wire brush and set the electrode gap to 0.7-0.8mm. If general conduction is
unsatisfactory it should be changed with a NGK (BPR5ES) or similar.
! Close fuel valve whenever generator is not operating.
· DG 950 generators use two-stroke engines and oil must be pre-mixed with
petrol at the ratio of 50:1. Use fuel tank cap as an oil measure adding one
inverted capfull for each litre of fuel. Engine damage will occur without
pre-mixed oil.

6. SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not restrict the exhaust silencer.
There is a danger of overheating and fire.
Read and carefully understand the Instruction
Manual before before use.
Instruction
Manual
Ensure a competent trained person is used in case
of overhaul.
Do not use generator on a slope.
Fuel spillage may occur and cause a fire.
Do not connect generators together
Generator damage will occur.
Avoid proximity to fire when refueling.
Highly inflammable!
!
Gasoline
Ensure good ventilation around the generator and
do not operate indoors.
Exhaust gases are very poisonous.
