gb
the engine is refuelled o gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure
the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapour may ignite, If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapour.
Keep out of reach of children
CLEANING THE FUEL FILTER
Make sure that the fuel cock (6) is closed before
performing this operation.
Use a spanner to unscrew the nut located under the tap
(6).
Remove the filter located inside the nut and wash it in non-
flammable solvent. Dry it completely before reinserting it
into the nut.
Replace the nut back to its original position using a
spanner and tighten it firmly to prevent any fuel leakage.
AIR FILTER
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and
in good condition.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side
maintenance cover.
Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body,
remove the air cleaner cover, and check the element.
Clean or replace the element if necessary.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid
engine wear will result from contaminants, such as
dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburettor,
into the engine.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Adirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor.
To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air cleaner
regularly.
Service more frequently when operating the generator in
extremely dirty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
- Loosen the cover screw and remove the maintenance
cover.
- Remove the screw under the air filter box.
- Pull the air filter cover down 30mm and remove the air
filter cover.
- Remove the air filter iron clip and check the air filter
element. Clean or replace the element if necessary.
- Reinstall the air filter parts after cleaning or replacing
air filter element.
MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG
Please use high quality authentic spark plug. To ensure
proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of deposits.
- Remove the bolts on the panel and the controlling
panel.
- Take out the ignition coil rubber boot.
- Remove the spark plug with spark plug wrench.
- Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean spark plug with
a wire brush if it is to be reused.
- Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid
crossthreading.
- After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it
should be tightened ½ turn with a wrench to compress
its washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should
only require 1/8 to 1/4 turns after being seated.
- Reinstall the ignition coil rubber boot on the spark plug
securely.
- Reinstall the controlling panel.
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An
improperly tightened plug can become very hot and
possibly damage the generator.
Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during
temporary storage, the generator should be secured
upright in its normal operating position, with the engine
switch OFF. The fuel cap vent lever is turned counter
clockwise to the OFF position. Allow the engine to cool
well before turning the fuel cap vent lever to the OFF
position.
When transporting generator:
Do not overfill the tank. (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck)
Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle. Take
the generator off the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated
place.
Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting
the generator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in an
enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature inside
the vehicle could cause fuel to vapor ze resulting in a
possible explosion.
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with
the generator on board. If you must transport the generator
on board. If you must transport the generator on a rough
road, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand.

EQUIPMENT STORAGE

Before storing the unit for an extended period: Be
sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and
dust. Drain the fuel.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the area.
Completely drain the fuel from the tank. Open the fuel
valve, start the engine and operate it in the idle position
until all remaining fuel is gone and the engine stops
automatically
Discharge oil.
Remove spark plug and fill cylinder with 2cc's fresh oil.
Pull start motor 3-4 times to discharge the remaining oil.
Then reinstall the spark plug.
Pull the starting cord slowly until resistance is strong. At
this time, the piston is moving to the top of the compression
stroke and the valves will be closed.
