BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Add Engine Oil

• Place generator on a level surface.

CAUTION

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

•Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.

•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

•Refer to engine owner’s manual and follow oil recommendations and instructions.

NOTE: Check oil often during engine break–in. Refer to engine owner’s manual for recommendations.

NOTE: The generator assembly rotates on a prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Add Petrol

NOTE: This engine is certified to operate on petrol only. It will not operate on paraffin, diesel or other fuels.

WARNING

Petrol and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN ADDING PETROL

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing petrol cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Fill petrol tank outdoors.

•DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for petrol expansion.

•Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

1.Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED petrol with a minimum of 85 octane. DO NOT use petrol which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil with petrol.

2.Clean area around petrol fill cap, remove cap.

3A. For model 030212, slowly add regular unleaded petrol to petrol tank. Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 4cm (1.5") of tank space for petrol expansion (Figure 1).
