2. SAFETY WARNINGS
Instruction
Manual
!
Gasoline
Read and carefully understand the Instruction Manual
before use.
Avoid proximity to fire when refueling highly
inflammable!
Ensure good ventilation around the generator and do
not operate indoors.
Exhaust gases are very poisonous
Do not use generator on a slope.
Fuel spillage may occur and cause a fire.
Do not restrict the exhaust silencer.
There is a danger of overheating and fire.
Do not connect generators together.
Generator damage will occur.
Ensure a competent trained person is used in case of
overhaul.
3. CONTROLS
All generators are fitted with the following:-
Ÿ2no. 3 pin AC outlets, +ve and -ve DC connections.
ŸEngine on/off switch.
ŸMagnetic circuit breaker electric cutout.
ŸVoltmeter
4. ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS
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.
ŸEnsure total load does not exceed the generator rating. Maximum power output must
only be used briefly or generator damage will occur.

6. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
For comprehensive diesel engine operation, see separate engine manual.
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 sooner.
FUEL FILTER: Every 3 months check the fuel filter under the fuel cock for debris and
clean. Use a spanner to remove.
AIR CLEANER: Check the air cleaner every time you use it and clean it every 3 months or
after 100 hours operations, whichever is sooner. Clean by blowing away accumulated
dust and soaking in kerosene.
ŸDC 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.
ŸEnsure the generator is properly earthed. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
5. GENERATOR OPERATION
ŸCHECK ENGINE OIL. Operating without oil will cause severe engine damage and
invalidate the warranty.
ŸTo 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 than 5 seconds. If it fails to start release the switch and wait 15 seconds
before re-trying. Switch off choke when engine has started.
ŸCheck 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.
ŸIf more than an appliance is connected apply load progressively with greatest load
first.
Ÿ Close fuel valve whenever generator is not operating.
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.
