Starting the engine

WARNING. Before starting the motor, ensure you have filled the crank case to the correct level with oil.

Note. The crank case is not filled with oil from the factory.

1.Before starting, ensure that no electrical apparatus has been connected to the generator.

2.Turn the fuel valve clockwise to the ‘on’ position.

3.Move the choke lever (12) towards the front of the generator. This is not necessary if the engine is already warm.

4.Turn the engine switch (8) to ‘on’.

5.Slowly pull the recoil starter (10) until you feel it engage and then pull it briskly.

Note. When the motor is started for the very first time, it will require a number of attempts to start until the fuel has travelled from the tank to the motor.

6.Once you hear the motor operating, push the choke lever (12) slowly, back towards the rear of the generator. This position will switch the choke ‘off’.

Stopping the engine

Connecting apparatus to the generator

1.Start the engine. Allow the motor to run for a couple of minutes to warm up prior to connecting any apparatus to the generator.

2.For AC current, plug the power cord into the AC output socket (6).

CAUTION.

•Ensure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in.

•Check to ensure that the total load is within the generator rated output.
