3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Before use, ensure you read, understand and comply with the safety instructions in this document. Ensure
you fully understand the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.
WARNING! Never connect the generating set earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry inflammable substances such as gas or
domestic fuel and there is a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
WARNING! Never run the engine without an air filter fitted.
3.1. EARTHING
3.1.1 The generating set must be earthed every time it is used, to reduce the chance of electric shock. To do this, use a 12mm² copper
wire and bolt it to the generator chassis using the earthing point seen in Figs.3, 4 & 5. At the other end, bolt it to an earthing rod of
copper or brass which has been driven into the ground. This earthing connection will also dissipate static electricity generated by the
electrical equipment.
PRE START-UP OF THE GENERATOR
WARNING! Check the engine oil level before each start-up. Only use an approved oil and NEVER operate the engine with insufficient
oil.
Check the air filter element to ensure it is clean and in good condition, clean or replace as necessary.
3.2. FILLING WITH ENGINE OIL
3.2.1 Ensure the generator set is on a flat horizontal surface.
3.2.2 Unscrew the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean (See Fig.6).
3.2.3 Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but DO NOT screw in.
3.2.4 Remove the dipstick and check the level indicated. If the level is too low, top up to the top of
the filler neck with the recommended oil.
3.2.5 Replace the dipstick and screw in the oil filler cap.
3.3 FILLING WITH FUEL
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
WARNING! Never use an oil/fuel mixture or any polluted fuel.
3.3.1 Ensure all electrical loads are DISCONNECTED and the circuit breaker where fitted is in the "OFF" position.
3.3.2 Ensure the area around the fuel tank filler hole is clean.
3.3.3 Remove the fuel tank filler cap, check the level of the fuel and refill with the recommended fuel if necessary.
3.3.4 Do not over-fill the fuel tank, always leave room for the fuel to expand.
3.4. STARTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING! The output sockets will be live once the engine has started.
WARNING! DO NOT run this generator unless there is adequate ventilation, the
exhaust gases contain deadly carbon monoxide.
3.4.1 Ensure you have performed all actions in paragraphs 3.2. and 3.3. above.
3.4.2 Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position, Fig.1.
3.4.3 Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position, Fig.2.
Note: If starting a warm engine or when the ambient temperature is high, move the choke control
to the "RUN" position.
3.4.4 Set the Engine Switch to the "ON" position, Fig.3.
Note: Ensure there is sufficient free area around the generator to prevent personal injury when
pulling the rope.
3.4.5 Grasp the recoil handle and pull rope slowly until some resistance is felt (Fig.2A). Let rope
rewind slowly, then pull with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope slowly return.
3.4.6 When engine starts, move choke lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly and
then to the "RUN" position. If engine fails to start, repeat the procedure from section 3.4.5.
If it still will not start, refer to ’Trouble-Shooting’ section. If necessary contact your authorised
Sealey service agent.
3.4.7 On models fitted with a circuit breaker, set the switch to "ON".
WARNING! Never pull out the starting handle when the engine is running, as this will damage the engine.
