AC and DC overload cut out
IMPORTANT. Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your generator and connected apparatus.
1.Each separate circuit has a circuit breaker to protect the generator from over loading.
2.If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical apparatus from the generator.
3.Let the overload cut out switch cool down.
4.If it is an AC apparatus causing the overload push the AC reset button (3). If it is the DC apparatus press the DC reset button (4). Commence to start your generator accordingly.
5.When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to that which previously overloaded the generator.
Note. If the DC overload cut out has operated, and the 240V is being used at the same time, reduce or remove the 240V appliance from the generator. This will reduce the output current on the DC circuit.
Generator maintenance
Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or operated in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapours. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.
Storage
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage.
Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
Always drain the generator; tank and fuel system by opening the small drain valve (14) in the lower section of the carburetor bowl before storing.
Spark plugs
1.Remove spark plug (13) from the generator with the spark plug spanner socket supplied.
2.Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3.Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug. The standard colour should be a tan colour.
4.Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be between
0.7– 0.8mm (0.028”– 0.031”)
5.The recommended spark plugs are as follows: Sino E6TC (Original one supplied in unit)
Engine oil replacement
1.Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes. The stop the engine.
2.Remove oil filler cap (5).
3.Place an oil pan under the generator and commence removing the oil drain cock (9) so that the oil can be completely drained.
4.Check the oil drain cock (9), gasket, oil filler cap (5) and
5.Reinstall the oil drain cock (9).
6.Add engine oil to the upper level. Recommended
4 stroke engine oil is SAE #30. Refer to the “Checking the engine oil” section in this instruction manual.
CAUTION. Check that no foreign material, debris, dust enters the crankcase.
