WARNING! To prevent permanent damage to generator or any appliances, you MUST
check oil level, fuel level, air cleaner filter and unplug any load from the generator
before starting.
OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This generator has been shipped from the factory without oil or very little
oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without the correct amount of oil can damage
the engine. Oil crankcase capacity: 1.6 litres.
Always check the oil level before starting the generator, make sure the genarator is
on a level surface. To check oil level:
1) Pull and remove the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.5 and clean it with a clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to check the oil level.
3) If the oil level is at the halfway mark on the dipstick or below, refill with SAE 10W-30.
Undo oil fill cap (B). Using the supplied oil funnel, add oil through the oil fill hole until the
oil level reaches the maximum mark on the dipstick as shown in the illustration below.
4) Reinstall the oil gauge dipstick.
FUEL LEVEL
WARNING! Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank before operating.
1) Check the fuel level indicator window (A) Fig.6, 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.6 by turning it counterclockwise.
3) Make sure the fuel filter cup (C) is positioned inside the tank opening before refueling.
4) When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to add enough fuel
based on usage. A full tank will give you 8-9 hours of operation at 50% load. Use clean
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank
capacity: 40 Litres.
AIR CLEANER FILTERS
The combined air cleaner filter (foam & paper) should be checked before every start-up
and after prolonged storage, the following steps should be done when checking:
1) Release four latch tabs (A) Fig.7 on both sides of the air cleaner cover (B), and remove
the air cleaner cover.
2) Foam filter:
a) The foam filter (A) Fig.8 is attached to the paper filter (B). If the foam filter is very dirty,
detach it from the paper filter. Make sure it is still in good condition, if damaged replace
the foam filter.
b) Clean the foam filter in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly, or clean
in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry. Dip the foam air filter in clean engine oil, then
squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in
the foam air filter. Refer to Fig.17.
c) Reinstall the foam up against the paper filter.
3) Paper air filter:
a) If the paper air filter (B) is dirty, replace it with a new one. Do not clean the paper air
filter.
4) Reinstall the combined air cleaner filter with foam filter facing up, and the air cleaner
cover.
