Pre-operation Checks
•Be sure to check the generator is on a level surface with the engine
stopped.
•Check the engine oil level.
•Using 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life. Use a
premium quality 4-stroke engine oil.
Checking the Oil
•Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
emove the oil filer cap, then wipe the dipstick with a rag. Check the oil
level by reinserting the dipstick into the filler hole without screwing it in.
•If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill up to the top of the oil
filler neck.
Note: The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level
falls below the safe limit, however to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shut-down, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level regularly.
Checking the Fuel Level
•Turn the fuel cap lever to the “OFF” position before transporting.
•Use unleaded automotive fuel.
Note: DO NOT use any fuels containing alcohol. Fuel system damage or engine
performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol are not
covered by warranty.

•Never use an oil/petrol mixture or dirty fuel.
•Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
•After refuelling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
•Petrol is extremely flammable under certain conditions.
•efuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
•Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refuelled or where petrol is stored.
•Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure that the tank cap is
closed properly and securely.
•Be careful not to spill fuel when refilling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapours may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
•Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin, or the breathing of vapour.
•KEEP FUEL OUT OF EACH OF CHILD EN
Check the Air Cleaner
Check the air cleaner element to ensure it is clean and in good working condition.
1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
2. Press the latch tab on top of the air cleaner body, remove the air cleaner
cartridge, then check the element.
3. Clean and replace the element if necessary.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. apid engine wear will result from
airborne contaminants such as dust and dirt being drawn through the carburettor
and into the engine.
It is normal for a little oil to appear under the air filter box if the generator is
running for a long period of time or if a lot of oil is in the engine. Wipe up excess
oil after each use and after stopping the generator.

Using the Generator
Starting the Engine
1. Before starting the engine, disconnect any load from the DC receptacle.
Turn the fuel cap lever fully clockwise to the ON position.
2. Set the fuel valve to the ON position.
3. Set the motor switch to the ON position.
4. Pull slightly on the start cord until you feel resistance, then yank hard and
swiftly.
•Do not let the start cord retract by itself, but instead guide it back by hand.
•Hold the carry handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling over
when you pull the start cord.
Note: A hot motor will not start if there is too much fuel in the cylinder. If this
happens, wait for five to ten minutes before trying again.

Engine Switch
Once the engine has started, allow the engine to run continuously and warm up.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before
troubleshooting in other areas.
Before using a device once it is connected, switch the ECO switch off.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, the standard carburettor air/fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main
fuel jet in the carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always
operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500m (4,000 feet) above sea
level, have a specialist perform these carburettor modifications.
Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease by
approximately 3.5% for each 300m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of
altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburettor modification
is made.
Note: Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburettor is
jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating and serious engine
damage caused by excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
Generator Use
•To prevent electric shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be
grounded. Connect an electric conductor (cable) of at least 1.5mm2
between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source.
•Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be
made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current
from the generator to feedback into the utility lines.
•Do not exceed the current limit set by any one receptacle.
•Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause
damage to either the generator, or to electrical appliances in the house.
•Do not modify or use the generator for any purpose other that what it is
intended for.
•Keep the generator away from other electrical cables or wires such as the
distribution network.
•The DC receptacle can be used while AC power is in use. If you use both at
once, ensure you do not exceed the total power for AC and DC.
•Most appliances require more than their rated wattage for start up.
