Inverter technology
(including Smart Throttle System)
This generator has been developed with inverter technology providing regulated, clean and “pure” electricity for a continuous uninterrupted stable power supply.
Inverter technology provides confidence as a power source for camping applications, out door lights, sound systems, televisions, microwaves and power tools.
This particular inverter generator has been fitted with the Smart Throttle System. The Smart Throttle System
Note. The Low Oil indicator will only operate for a few seconds before the motor shuts down
1. Before checking or refilling oil,
be sure the generator is putA on a stable and level surface,
ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
2.Remove the oil filler cap (19) by rotating the cap anti- clockwise and inspect to see the oil level (Fig. A).
automatically reduces the generators engine speed when no load and low load is connected or loads are turned off. When appliances are reconnected or turned on the engine adjusts to the correct speed to power the electrical load.
The Smart Throttle System is designed to minimise the fuel consumption, reduce emissions as well as reduce the noise levels when no load or low loads are applied to the generator. The Smart Throttle System is only operational on AC items (refer to page 13 AC Applications for further information).
Preparing the generator
3.If the oil level is below the top of the oil tank housing neck refill with either SAE30 (single viscosity) or 10W30 (multi viscosity) 4 stroke all the way to the top of the oil tank neck (refer to the ‘Engine oil filling/ replacement’ section of this instruction manual) (Fig. B).

It is important to check the generator before you commence operating the unit.
IMPORTANT. Ensure that the engine has oil. When leaving the factory, this generator has NO OIL in the engine.
Note. The engine will not start if the generator has no oil.
Checking the engine oil
The motor of this generator is not filled with oil.
Prior to starting the generator ensure the crank case is filled to the top of the neck (refer to Fig. B) with either SAE30 (single viscosity) or 10W30 (multi viscosity) 4 stroke oil.
This Generator is fitted with a low oil alert indicator (12). The low oil alert indicator will glow when the generator requires oil to be topped up. If the oil is not topped up the generator will automatically cut out to protect the motor from running without oil and ceasing up. The generator will not restart until the oil has been installed.
Note. Completely remove the oil filler cap (19) when checking oil level. The oil cap is not required for checking oil level.
4.If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure you change the oil. Refer to the ‘Engine oil replacement’ section for instructions.
Checking the engine fuel
1.Make sure the generator is turned off, by rotating the engine switch (7) to the ‘off’ position (Fig. C).
