OUTPUT POWER ALERT
Green light will always glow when power supply is good.
If it goes out it will generally be due a power overload,
see below.
SAFETY DEVICES
AC OUTLET
Your generator is equipped with an output indicator light,
see above. When this light is goes out then the generator
will produce NO POWER.
To restart the power supply;
1. Remove the appliance.
2. Stop the generator, see page 12.
3. Wait 2 minutes.
4. Start generator, see page 11, ensure the green output
indicator light is illuminated.
5. Re - attach the appliance.
6. If the output indicator light goes out and the output
power stops then the attached appliance is either
faulty or the appliances required power is greater than
the generators output, check the appliances wattage
requirements.
12V DC OUTLET
Your generator is equipped with a DC output circuit
breaker. This circuit breaker will “pop” out if the attached
appliance is either faulty or the appliances required
power need is greater than the generators DC power
output.
To reset the circuit breaker and restart the power supply;
1. Remove the appliance.
2. Stop the generator, see page 12.
3. Wait 2 minutes.
4. Push the circuit breaker back in, it should stay in. If
not the circuit breaker is still over heated, allow to
cool down for another 2 minutes before trying again
to push it in.
5. Start generator.
6. Re - attach the appliance.
7. If the circuit breaker “pop’s” out again and the power
stops then the attached appliance is either faulty
or the appliances required power is greater than
the generators output, check the appliances power
requirements.
LOW OIL LIGHT
If the oil level in the motor sump drops to a dangerously
low level then the generator will automatically stop.
If the oil level in the motor sump is dangerously low, then
the generator will not start, however the low oil light will
flicker only when the recoil starter is pulled.
If your generator will not start always check the oil level
first.
To add oil or check the oil level, refer page 10.

STORAGE
If the generator is not to be used or is to be stored for
more than one month the following storage procedure
should be carried out. Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank
(refer to page 18) and the carburettor (see below), ensure
that all the fuel has been drained.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one
tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug
hole.
With the ignition turned OFF gently pull on the recoil
starter cord several times. Re-fit the spark plug and
continue to pull the recoil starter cord until the piston is
on the compression stroke (when resistance is felt) then
stop puling.
Store the generator in a dry well ventilated place under a
cover to prevent any dust or debris from accumulating on
the generator.
DRAINING THE CARBURETTOR
1. Start the generator.
2. Turn the fuel switch OFF.
3. Turn the fuel cap breather lever to OFF.
4. Ensure the generator is NOT in “Eco” mode, ECO
switch OFF
5. Keep the generator running until it runs out of fuel
which may take around 3mins.
When preparing the generator for storage, follow the
guidelines below.
Storage Time Prior to Storing
Less than 1 month No special preparation is required
1 to 2 months Empty fuel from fuel tank
Drain fuel from carburettor
2 months to 1 year Empty fuel from fuel tank
Drain fuel from carburettor
1 year or more Empty fuel from fuel tank
Drain fuel from carburettor
Remove spark plug
Put a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Turn the engine
slowly with the pull rope to distribute the oil
Reinstall spark plug
Change engine oil
*Use unleaded fuel stabilisers formulated to extend storage life. For recommendations, contact your nearest authorised service centre.
