FUEL FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Select bare ground for fuelling and move at least 10
feet (3m) from fuelling spot before starting the engine.
After refuelling, properly tighten fuel cap; wipe off any
spilled fuel and check for leakage.
Warning! If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change clothes
immediately. Do not rely on evaporation.
Flammable quantities of fuel may remain on clothes
after a spill for longer than expected.
Warning! Vibrations can cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand as
securely as possible.
Before use always make sure that the fuel cap has
been properly tightened. Check for fuel leakage while
refuelling and during operation. If a fuel leak is
suspected, do not start or run the engine until leak is
fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away.
Warning! The ignition system of your unit produces
an electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This
field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, people with a
pacemaker fitted should consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this
tool.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
Consult the Owner’s Manual for generator
safety precautions. Do not install, operate

this manual and the safety precautions
throughout.
Use only genuine replacement parts
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical generator must always be grounded,
(connected to earth).
Petrol or diesel powered generators must never be
used in an unventilated closed spaces. The exhaust
fumes are highly dangerous and can cause “Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning” which will cause drowsiness
and death.
The generator must be mounted on a firm level
surface.
The electrical output load must not exceed the
maximum load stated on the rating plate.
Exceeding the rated load will damage the unit or
shorten its life and will invalidate the guarantee.
The engine must not be run at speeds that exceed the
maximum stated on the rating plate.
Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases
the hazard of personal injury.
Do not tamper with components, which may increase
or decrease the governed speed.
Mains extension leads, mains supply leads, and all
electrical equipment must be in good working
condition.
Never operate electrical equipment with damaged or
defective mains supply leads.
Keep the area around the generator clear of
obstructions at all times. Never locate the generator
against a building or near a canvas or plastic structure
i.e. Tents etc.
Always use the correct fuel as stated in the user
manual and on the rating plate.
To prevent fire, always stop the engine when refueling
and never over fill the fuel tank.
Always clean up spilt fuel immediately using sand.
Do not use the generator in or near an explosive
atmosphere.
To prevent an electric shock, never operate the
machine in rain, snow or touch with wet hands.
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks, seals and
hoses should be checked for signs of deterioration or
chafing. Check for loose or missing clamps, damaged
fuel tank or filler cap. All defects should be corrected
before further use.
Always allow the generator to reach full operating
speed before connecting any electrical load.
Always disconnect the electrical load before switching
the generator off.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage
electrical equipment, do not allow engine to run out of

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power

COMPONENTS & CONTROLS (FIG.1)
LOCATION & GROUNDING
Before using this generator it must be prepared
correctly before use. Locate the generator on firm
level ground away from buildings or other structures
ensuring that the exhaust is not obstructed.
It is advisable to properly earth-ground your generator
before starting using a wire and a small earth stake.
Note: The wire and earth stake are not supplied with
the unit.
Earth spike and cable can be purchased at your local
camping supplies, or alternatively an earth spike can
be made, and it is suggested you get advice from a
registered electrical trades person. To make a spike
use a copper tube or copper rod 12mm diameter, a
minimum length of 200mm and with an M6 machine
screw one end. The cable used should be a maximum
length of 1 metre and a minimum of 1.0mm2to carry a
10amp load. The cable should be attached to the
generator at the earth point (Fig 2) and to the spike
between a flat washer and the copper with a lock
washer under the head of the M6 Machine screw in a
similar fashion to the earth point screw on the
generator.
When placing the spike into the ground the generator
must not be running and it is suggested that the spike
is pushed into the ground by at least 100mm so that it
is firm and a litre of water poured around it to ensure
good earth continuity.
CHECKING THE OIL
The generator is supplied without oil and must be
filled before first use, failure to do so will invalidate
your guarantee. Loosen the cover screws and remove
the maintenance cover.
Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean,
Fig 3.
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.

When the engine has been successfully started and is
running smoothly return the choke to the “RUN”
position.
Warning! Before connecting any electrical load to the
generator ensure that the load does not exceed the
maximum load as stated on the rating plate. Ensure
that the appliance being connected is in good working
order and that the mains supply lead is long enough
to reach the generator without any strain.
When the generator engine has been successfully
started and is running smoothly connect the electrical
load into the generator AC output socket.
Warning! DC power and AC power can be used at the
same time but DO NOT exceed the maximum power
output, as shown on the rating plate.
DC BATTERY CHARGING FUNCTION
This function is applicable to 12V battery charging
only.
DANGER

12
Disconnect the leads from the battery.
Loosen the vents on the battery.
Make sure the battery fluid level is correct
Using a hydrometer measure the specific gravity of
the battery fluid and calculate the charging time in
accordance with the table shown.

correct polarity (Red = + Positive) (black = - Negative).
Plug the 12v charger lead into the socket on the
generator, Fig 9.
The specific gravity for the fully charged battery shall
be within 1.26 to 1.28. It is advisable to check the
specific gravity every hour.
ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH (FIG 10)
On: Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and
further reduce noise levels when no load is applied to
the generator.
Off: The smart throttle system does not operate.
Engine speed varies with the load.
With the switch in the On position, the engine speed is
controlled automatically. The engine speed is lowered
when the load on the generator is reduced, turned off
or disconnected. When loads are turned on or
re-connected, the engine returns to the correct speed
to power the connected load.
In the Off position the system does not operate. The
economy system also helps in fuel economy and
reduced noise levels when under no load conditions.
When a load is connected to the generator, the
generator speed will automatically adjust in order to
supply enough power.
Appliances with large start-up power demands may
not allow the engine to reach normal operating speed
when they are connected to the generator. Turn the
economy switch to the Off position and connect the
appliance to the generator. If the engine still will not
reach normal operating speed, check that the
appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of

If the generator is overloaded or if there is a
malfunction or a short circuit in a connected
appliance, the (Green) output indicator will extinguish
and the (Red) overload indicator light illuminates and
the power to the connected appliance will be
disconnected.
If the (Red) overload indicator light illuminates stop the
generator and investigate the cause.
Before connecting an appliance to the generator,
check that it is in good order, and that its electrical
rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then
connect the power cord of the appliance, and start
the engine.
When an electric motor is started, both the (Red)
overload indicator and the (Green) output indicator will
illuminate simultaneously. This is normal, the (Red)
over- load indicator extinguishes after about four (4)
seconds. If the (Red) overload indicator remains
illuminated, consult your generator dealer.
Caution: Substantial overloading that continuously
illuminates the (Red) overload indicator may damage
the generator. If the (Red) overload indicator light and
the (Green) output indicator illuminate at the same
time when engine starts and the (Red) overload
indicator remains illuminated after the (Green) output
indicator extinguishes, please contact your supplier.
Note: For equipment with an inductive load (more
power will be required at initial start). Under these
conditions it is normal for both the (Red) overload
indicator and the (Green) output indicator will
illuminate simultaneously for a short period about four
(4) seconds. After the appliance starts, the (Red) over-
load indicator extinguishes and the (Green) output
indicator will remain illuminated.

between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not the actual
level of exposure of the workroom, the other sources of noise etc. i.e. the number of machines and the adjacent
processes and the length of time for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure
level can vary from country. This information however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better
evaluation of the hazard and risk. The supplier recommends the use of ear protection at all time.

TÄRKEITÄ TURVALLISUUSTIETOJA
Sinun ja muiden henkilöiden turvallisuus on erittäin
tärkeää.
Ohjekirjassa ja laitteessa on useita tärkeitä
turvallisuusohjeita. Lue kaikki turvallisuusohjeet ja
noudata niitä.
Tämä on varoitussymboli.
Symboli varoittaa sinua
mahdollisista vaaroista, jotka voivat
olla hengenvaarallisia tai
vahingoittaa sinua tai muita.
Kaikkien turvallisuusohjeiden
yhteydessä on varoitussymboli ja
sana ”VAARA” tai ”VAROITUS”.
Nämä sanat tarkoittavat:
VAARA ilmaisee vaarallisen tilanteen, joka johtaa
kuolemaan tai vakavaan henkilövahinkoon, jos sitä ei
vältetä.
VAROITUS ilmaisee vaarallisen tilanteen, joka saattaa
johtaa kuolemaan tai vakavaan henkilövahinkoon, jos
sitä ei vältetä.
HUOMIO, käytettynä varoitussymbolin kanssa,
ilmaisee vaarallisen tilanteen, joka saattaa johtaa
lievään tai kohtalaiseen henkilövahinkoon, jos sitä ei
vältetä.
HUOMAUTUS, käytetään tilanteissa, joihin ei liity
henkilövahinkoa.
HUOMIO, ilman varoitussymbolia, käytetään
tilanteissa, joihin ei liity henkilövahinkoa.
Kaikissa turvallisuusohjeissa kerrotaan, mikä
potentiaalinen vaara on, miten loukkaantumisvaaraa
vähennetään, ja mitä tapahtuu, jos ohjeita ei
noudateta.

POLTTOAINEEN TÄYTTÖOHJE
Valitse polttoaineen täyttöön paljas maa ja siirry
vähintään 3 metriä täyttökohdasta ennen kuin
käynnistät moottorin. Täyttämisen jälkeen kierrä
polttoainesäiliön korkki kunnolla kiinni, pyyhi kaikki
mahdollisesti roiskunut polttoaine ja tarkasta vuodot.
Varoitus! Jos polttoainetta roiskuu vaatteille,
erityisesti housuille, on tärkeää vaihtaa vaatteet
välittömästi. Älä luota haihtumiseen.
Syttyvä määrä polttoainetta voi säilyä vaatteissa
roiskumisen jälkeen kauemmin kuin uskotkaan.
Varoitus! Tärinä voi löysätä tai irrottaa huonosti
suljetun polttoainesäiliön korkin ja polttoainetta voi
roiskua. Polttoaineen roiskumisvaaran ja
tulipalovaaran vähentämiseksi polttoainesäiliön korkki
tulee kiristää käsin mahdollisimman tiukalle.
Varmista aina ennen käyttöä, että polttoainesäiliön
korkki on kunnolla kiristetty. Tarkista polttoainevuodot
täyttämisen ja käytön aikana. Jos epäilet
polttoainevuotoa, älä käynnistä tai käytä moottoria
ennen kuin vuoto on korjattu ja vuotanut bensiini on
pyyhitty.
Varoitus! Laitteen sytytysjärjestelmä tuottaa hyvin
alhaisen intensiteetin sähkömagneettisen kentän.
Tämä kenttä voi häiritä joitakin sydämentahdistimia.
Vakavien tai kuolemaan johtavien henkilövahinkojen
välttämiseksi sydämentahdistinta käyttävien
henkilöiden tulee keskustella lääkärin tai
sydämentahdistimen valmistajan kanssa ennen
laitteen käyttöä.
LUE OHJEET
Katso käyttöoppaasta generaattorin
varotoimet. Älä asenna, käytä tai korjaa
laitetta lukematta huolellisesti tätä
käyttöopasta ja varotoimia.
Käytä vain aitoja varaosia.
ERITYISET TURVAOHJEET
Sähkögeneraattori täytyy aina maadoittaa (yhdistää
maahan).
Bensiini- tai dieselkäyttöistä generaattoria ei saa
koskaan käyttää ilmastoimattomissa suljetuissa
tiloissa. Pakokaasu on erittäin vaarallista. Se voi
aiheuttaa häkämyrkytyksen, joka aiheuttaa
uneliaisuutta ja kuoleman.
Generaattori tulee asentaa tukevalle tasaiselle
alustalle.
Lähtökuorma ei saa ylittää arvokilvessä olevaa
enimmäiskuormaa.
Jos nimelliskuorma ylittyy, laite vioittuu tai sen
käyttöikä lyhenee ja tämä mitätöi takuun.
Moottoria ei saa käyttää nopeuksilla, jotka ylittävät
arvokilvessä annetun enimmäisarvon.
Moottorin käyttäminen liiallisella nopeudella lisää
henkilövahingon vaaraa.
Älä käsittele osia, jotka voivat lisätä tai vähentää
rajoitettua nopeutta.
Jatkojohtojen, syöttöjohtojen ja kaikkien
sähkölaitteiden tulee olla hyvässä käyttökunnossa.
Älä koskaan käytä viallisia sähkölaitteita tai
virtajohtoja.
Pidä generaattorin ympäristö aina esteettömänä. Älä
koskaan sijoita generaattoria rakennuksen seinää
vasten tai lähelle kangas- tai muovirakenteita kuten
teltat ym.
Käytä aina polttoainetta, joka on määritetty
käyttöoppaassa ja arvokilvessä.
Sammuta moottori polttoaineen täyttämisen ajaksi
tulipalon estämiseksi, äläkä koskaan täytä
polttoainesäiliötä liian täyteen.
Imeytä roiskunut polttoaine välittömästi hiekkaan.
Älä käytä generaattoria räjähdysherkässä
ympäristössä tai sen lähellä.
Älä käytä konetta vesi- tai lumisateessa tai koske
siihen märin käsin sähköiskujen välttämiseksi.
Tarkasta polttoainejärjestelmä, tiivisteet ja letkut
säännöllisesti vuotojen, kulumisen ja
hankautumisvaurioiden varalta. Tarkasta löysät tai
puuttuvat kiinnikkeet, polttoainesäiliön ja täyttökorkin
eheys. Kaikki viat tulee korjata ennen käytön
jatkamista.
Anna generaattorin saavuttaa täysi käyttönopeus
ennen sähkökuorman yhdistämistä.
Irrota aina sähkökuorma ennen generaattorin
sammuttamista.
Älä päästä moottoria käyttämään polttoainetta
loppuun, kun sähkökuorma on yhdistettynä, jotta estät
sähkölaitteen mahdollisesti vaurioittavan sykkimisen.
Tyhjennä kaikki polttoaine ennen generaattorin
kuljettamista ajoneuvolla vuotojen välttämiseksi.
Älä koskaan yhdistä sähkökuormaa, jonka sähköteho
on kytkettynä päälle. Se voi aiheuttaa sähköiskuja tai
tulipalon.
Älä yhdistä generaattoria mihinkään muuhun
virtalähteeseen.
Moottorin nopeus on säädetty tehtaalla turvallisen
käytön varmistamiseksi. Moottorin nopeuden säädön
muuttaminen voi aiheuttaa liitettyjen laitteiden
ylikuumenemisen ja tulipalon. Älä koskaan yritä
”nopeuttaa” moottoria paremman suorituskyvyn takia.
Tällainen toimenpide muuttaa sekä lähtöjännitteen että
taajuuden vakioarvoja sekä vaurioittaa kiinnitettyjä
laitteita ja vaarantaa käyttäjän.
Säilytä generaattori hyvin ilmastoidussa paikassa ja
polttoainesäiliö tyhjänä.
