1.0 Safety Information.
To protect yourself and your property, please carefully read the following instructions.
● Read and understand the user manual before using the generator.
● DO NOT use in an enclosed area or a moving vehicle. The engine exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide. Use the generator in a well ventilated area.
● DO NOT touch the hot exhaust. When the generator is running, or before cooling.
● Petrol is explosive and flammable. When refuelling, the generator needs to be stopped,
and fuel kept away from all ignition sources i.e. heaters, lamps, sparks from grinding or welding.
● DO NOT connect to the building’s electrical system or another generator, in order to avoid
electric shocks and fires.
● The generator must be kept one metre away from all other equipment and flammable materials.
● Place the generator on a the level surface, in order to avoid overturning or spilling fuel.
● Children and pets should be kept away from the generator at all times especially when in operation.
● DO NOT operate with wet hand/s.
● DO NOT let the generator to come into contact with rain, moisture or snow.

3.2 ECON Switch (Economy Control Switch)
"ON" ( )
When the economy control switch is turned to "ON" ( ) the engine keeps running
at idle state automatically when the electrical appliance is disconnected, and will
return to the proper speed when the electrical load requires it.
The "ON" ( ) function is recommended to minimise fuel consumption, reduce noise and
prolong engine life.

NOTE
When a high load electrical appliance is connected and in order to reduce voltage change, turn
the economy control switch to the “OFF”( ) position. This will allow the engine speed to
increase before the load is applied
In DC operation, turn the economy control switch to the “OFF”( )position.
Connect both AC load and DC load, turn the economy control switch to the “OFF”( ) position.
“OFF” ( )
When the economy control switch turns to the “OFF” ( ) the engine runs at high speed.
3.3 Hour Meter
When the generator goes into overload protection mode, the overload indicator light (RED) will
come on, by pressing the "RESET" button the output of the generator can be recovered. It will be
unnecessary to restart engine.
Press and hold the “RESET” button for one second, until the overload indicator light (RED) goes off,
and the output indicator light (GREEN) comes on.
Under non-overload condition the "RESET" button does not have any function.
When the "DISP" button is pressed the backlight will come on. Successive presses of the "DISP"
button will display in turn at each press the Voltage - Frequency - Engine Speed & Cumulative Run
Time.
NOTE
If the "DISP" button is not pressed for more than 10 seconds the backlight will turn off.
NOTE
When in protection condition, the output indicator light (GREEN) is off and the overload indicator
light (RED) is on.
When the generator is started the "RESET" function is available to recover from an overload
condition five times, after which time you will have to restart the engine.

4.0 Pre-Operation Checks.
4.1 Oil Level Check.
Make sure that the generator has been stopped and is on a level surface.
Remove the oil filler cap, and clean it with a clean cloth, reinsert the oil filler cap (do not
screw it in) remove and check the oil level on the dipstick.
If the level is low, fill to the upper limit of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
WARNING
NOTE
DO NOT use non-detergent or 2 stroke oil this could shorten the engines working life.
DO NOT mix different types of engine oil in this engine.
Use a 4 stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed API standards: SG, SF or SAE
rating.
Make sure that you carefully use and store the engine oil. Avoid getting dirt or dust into the
engine oil.

NOTE
If the engine oil falls below the safety margin the low oil alert system will automatically shut
off the engine. The oil alert indicator light (RED) will come on. To avoid this inconvenience it
is advisable to check the oil regularly
4.2 Fuel Level Check.
Unleaded petrol is the recommended fuel.
Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Do not use a mixture petrol containing ethanol or methanol. This will seriously damage
the engine.
