and disconnected. It is best to always use a voltage or surge protector with this generator. It is NOT recommended to connect any electronic equipment to the generator such as computers, televisions, or stereo equipment. They are very sensitive to the input supply fluctuations and could be damaged if run off this generator. This warning also includes caravans where electronic equipment is incorporated as part of the wiring.
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 receptacle 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 circuit breaker button (11). If it is a DC apparatus causing the overload push the DC circuit breaker button (14).
Commence to start your generator accordingly.
5.When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to that which previously overloaded the generator.

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.
Spark plugs
1.Remove spark plug from the generator with a spark plug spanner socket.
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.
