INSPECTION BEFORE OPERATION

WARNING! You MUST check battery position and connections, oil level, fuel level, air cleaner filter and unplug any load from the
generator before starting generator to prevent permanent damage to any appliances.
12V Battery for Electric Start
Important Note: Before connecting electrical wires to the battery, it is very important to make sure the generator engine switch is off and that
there are no electrical loads connected to generator.
The 12V maintenance free battery used for electric starts normally comes installed in the battery tray but the red wire and black ground wire
are not connected to the battery. In order to use the electric start, it is necessary to
connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black ground wire to the
(-) negative terminal of the battery. Secure battery wires with a hex. bolt and hex. nut
each.
Replacing/Installing 12V Battery
To remove the battery from the battery tray, undo both wing nuts from both fixing rods
which fasten the top mounted battery fix plate, remove fix plate, undo electrical wires
(negative first) and remove battery. To install battery, place battery into battery tray. Hook
the fixing rods to both sides of the battery tray, insert fixing rods through the fix plate,
place fix plate against the front edge of the battery and fasten it into place by tightening
the two wing nuts.
To connect, follow these steps;
1) Connect the RED wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery with a hex. bolt and

hex. nut.
2) Connect the BLACK ground wire (which is bolted to the engine) to the negative
(-) terminal of the battery using a hex. bolt and hex. nut.
OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This generator has been shipped from the factory without or with very
little oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine.
Always check the oil level before starting the generator, make sure the genarator is
on a level surface. To check oil level;
1) Turn the oil gauge dipstick(A) Fig.1 counterclockwise, remove it and clean it with a
clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to check the oil level.
Figure 2
3) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill with oil through the dipstick hole
until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick.
4) Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by turning clockwise.

FUEL LEVEL

WARNING! Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank before operating.
1) Check the fuel level indicator window (A) Fig.2, if the orange float gauge is all the way
up, it is not necessary to add fuel. If you do not see or hardly see the orange float gauge,
it is necessary to add fuel.
2) If it is necessary to add fuel, first make sure the engine is OFF, then open the fuel cap
(B) Fig.2 by turning it counterclockwise.
3) When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to add enough fuel
based on usage. A full tank will give you 6-7 hours of operation. Use clean unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Fuel tank capacity: 25 Litres.

AIR CLEANER FILTER
