Automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
This generator has been equipped with AVR technology which provides automatic voltage regulated power for continuous uninterrupted stable power supply.
The AVR maintains a regulated AC output and reacts substantially quicker to rapid surges in voltage, therefore, preventing the possibility of damage to the generator and attached equipment.
Preparing the generator
It is important to check the generator before you commence operating the unit.
Checking the engine oil
The motor of this generator is not filled with oil.
Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is filled with SAE #30 4 stroke oil.
Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty if the motor is run without oil.
1.Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the generator is put on a stable and level surface, ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
2.Remove the oil filler cap (5) by rotating the cap anti- clockwise and inspect to see the oil level.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the engine has oil.
Checking the engine fuel
1. | Switch off engine by pressing the engine switch (8) |
| to the ‘off’ position. |
2. | If the fuel is low, remove the fuel cap (2) by turning |
| anticlockwise. |
3. | Check to ensure the fuel filter screen is inside the fuel |
3.If the oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE #30 4 stroke oil to the upper level line.
Note. Do not screw in the oil filler cap (5) when checking oil level, simply insert and pull the cap straight out.

4. | Pour the unleaded fuel from an approve fuel container |
| into the fuel tank (1). Because fuel expands, DO NOT |
| FILL to the tip of the tank. |
5. | Replace fuel cap (2) and turn clockwise to lock. |
WARNING: | |
• | Do not refill fuel tank (1) while engine is running or is hot. |
•Check to ensure that the fuel drain (14) has been tightened and that fuel is not leaking.
•Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into the fuel.
•Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
•Ensure you DO NOT fuel the generator in close proximity to any open flames.
4.If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure you change the oil. Refer to the ‘Engine oil replacement’ section for instructions.
