Pre-Operation Checklist
NOTE: Pre-operation checks should be carried out each
time the generator is used.
Fuel System
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank. The engine
uses regular unleaded petrol only. The fuel tank capacity
is 4 litres.
Check The Fuel Level.
1. Turn the generator “OFF” by rotating the engine switch
(7) to the “OFF” position. (Fig. D).
2. Remove the fuel cap and fuel filter and look inside to
check the fuel level. (Fig. E).
3. If fuel is low, replace the filter screen inside the fuel
tank neck (Fig. F).
4. Pour unleaded fuel into the fuel tank using an
approved fuel container.

WARNING: Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous.
DO NOT fill above the top of fuel filter or it may overflow
when the fuel heats up and expands.
Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
After refuelling, make sure the tank cap is tightened.
Engine Oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the upper level of the oil filler hole. Add oil as necessary.
Recommended oil for most climates is 10W30. Engine oil quantity is 450 millilitres.
Oil Warning System
If the oil level falls below the safe operating level, the engine will stop automatically. Unless
you refill with oil, the engine will not start again.
Note: If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position
and then pull the recoil starter. If the oil warning light flickers for a few seconds, the
engine oil is low. Add oil and restart.
DC Protector
The DC Protector turns off automatically when the load exceeds the generator’s rated
output.
NOTE: If the DC Protector trips to the OFF position, press to reset. Reduce the load to
the specified generator output if the DC protector turns off. If it turns off again, consult
the authorized dealer.

Operation
Starting The Engine
NOTE: Before starting the engine, ensure you have filled the crankcase to the correct
level with oil. The crankcase is not filled with oil from the factory.
1. Before starting, ensure that no electrical apparatus has been connected.
2. Turn the fuel cap vent lever to the “ON” position (Fig.G).
3. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (Fig. H).
4. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the “START” position. In order to
restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the “RUN” position (Fig. I).
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter (6) until you feel it engage and then pull it firmly.
Return the recoil starter gently and slowly to the original position.
NOTE: Starting the motor for the very first time will require a number of attempts until
the fuel has travelled from the tank to the motor.
6. If the choke lever is in the “START” position, gradually move it to the “RUN” position
as the engine warms up (Fig. K).

Spark Plugs
1. Loosen 4 handle screws (Fig. Q) and remove handle (Fig. R).
2. Remove spark plug maintenance cover from the generator housing (Fig. S).
3. Remove the spark plug lead (Fig. T).
4. Remove any dirt from around the spark plug base.
5. Use the spark plug wrench provided to remove the spark plug (Fig. U).
6. Visually inspect the spark plug. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
7. Check for discolouration of the top of the spark plug.
The standard colour should be tan colour.
8. Check the spark plug gap (Fig. V).
Acceptable gap should be between 0.6mm - 0.7mm.
9. Install / Reinstall the spark plug carefully by hand.
10. Once the spark plug has been seated, tighten with the spark plug wrench.
11. Reinstall the spark plug cap on top of the spark plug.
12. Reinstall the spark plug maintenance cover (Fig. S), the handles and 4 handle screws.

Engine Oil Replacement
1. Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes.
Then stop the engine.
2. Loosen the side maintenance cover screw and remove the side maintenance cover.
3. Remove the oil filler cap.
4. Drain dirty oil into a container by tilting the engine toward the oil filler neck.
5. Once emptied, place generator in the upright position.
6. Refill with recommended oil. Fill to the upper limit of the filler neck (Fig. W).
NOTE: The recommended 4 stroke engine oil is 10W30 (multi viscosity) 4 stroke oil.
CAUTION: Check that no foreign material (eg. debris and dust)
enters the crankcase.
7. Replace the oil filler cap.
CAUTION: Be sure to replace cap securely to prevent it from
falling off during operation.
8. Reinstall the side maintenance cover and tighten the cover screw.
