1. GENERATOR SAFETY
To ensure safe operation-
l. Place the generator at least 1m away from building or other equipment when operating the generator.
2. Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage away result.
3. Exhause gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the generâtor in an enclosed area. Be sure to pro-
vide adequate ventilaton.
4. Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit any one to
operate the generator without proper instructions.
5. Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.
6. Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
7. The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misued, do not operate with wet hands.
8. Do not operate the generator in rain or snow and do not let it get wet.

3. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
3.1 Engine oil
CAUTION
O Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine's performance. Do not apply engine oil with additives
or 2-stroke gasoline engine oil, as they haven't enough lubrication, whicti-inay shorten the engine's service life.
O Check the engine with it stopped on a level ground.
SAEI0W-30 is recommended for general, all temperature use.

Fnvironmcnl tcmncraf r rrc
As viscosity varies with regione and temperatures, so the lubricant has to be selected in accordance with
our recommendation. If single viscosity engine oil is to be used instead, its viscosity corresponding to average
temperature of the region must be considered.

%% Oil level
I
Check Ensure that the engine is stopped on a level ground.
(1) Remove the dipstick and clean it.
(2) Reinsert the dipstick into the oil filler without screwing in, and check oil level.
(3) If the oil level is too low, add the recommended engine oil to the oil filler neck.
(4) Reinstall the dipstick
CAUTION
O Run with insufficient engine oil may damage severely.
3.2 Air cleaner
Check the filter element for dirt, and remove it if any.
CAUTION
O Never run the engine without an air cleaner, or severe wear of the engine may occur.
3.3 Fueland Fuel tank
3.3.1 Fuel
7

The engine must apply unleaded gasoline or low-leaded gasoline. Using unleaded gasoline will decrease
the possibility of producing carbon deposit and prolong the engine's service life.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirry gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
3.3.2 Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity: 7.5 liters ::
AWARNING
O Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
O Refueling in a well-ventilation area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke and allow flames or
sparks in the area where gasoline is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled.
O Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the fuel
tank cap is set back securely.
O Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
O If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area igni-
tion until petrol vapour have dissipated.
O Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor.
O Keep out of reach of children.

4. STARTING THE ENGINE
CONTROLS-
O Engine switch: To start and stop the engine
O Switch positions:
OFF: To stop the engine :-:
ON: To start and run the engine
O Recoil starter:
To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the starter.
O Choke rod:
The choke rod opens and closes the choke valve in the cal'buretor. Pulling the choke rod to the
CLOSED position enrich the fuel mixture for starting a cold engine.
Pushing the choke rod to the OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after
starting ,and for restarting a warm engine.
O AC circuit breaker:
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or an overload of the generator
at the AC receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched off automatically, check that appliance is working properly
and does not exceed the real load capacity of the AC circuit before switching the AC circuit breaker ON again.
