3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING! Before use, ensure you read, understand and comply with the safety instructions in this document. Ensure
you fully understand the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.
!
WARNING! Never connect the generating set earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry inflammable substances such as gas
or domestic fuel and there is a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
!
WARNING! Never run the engine without an air filter fitted.
3.1.
EARTHING
3.1.1. The generating set must be earthed every time it is used, to reduce the
chance of electric shock. To do this, use a 12mm² copper wire and bolt it
to the generator chassis using the earthing point seen in Fig.1. At the other
end, bolt it to an earthing rod of copper or brass which has been driven into
the ground. This earthing connection will also dissipate static electricity
generated by the electrical equipment.
PRE START-UP OF THE GENERATOR
!
WARNING! Check the engine oil level before each start-up. Only use an
approved oil and NEVER operate the engine with insufficient oil.
"
Check the air filter elements to ensure they are clean and in good condition,
clean or replace as necessary.
3.2.
FILING WITH ENGINE OIL
3.2.1. Ensure the generator set is on a flat horizontal surface strong enough to prevent it from sinking.
3.2.2. Unscrew the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean. (See Fig.4.)
3.2.3. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but DO NOT screw it in.
3.2.4. Remove the dipstick and check the level indicated. If the level is too low, top up to the top of the filler neck with the recommended oil.
3.2.5. Replace the dipstick and screw in the oil filler cap.
Note: OIL WARNING SYSTEM The oil warning system is designed to prevent any damage to the engine as a result of insufficient oil in the
lower sump. Before the oil level in the lower sump can fall below the safety limit, the oil warning system will automatically stop the
engine (the engine ON/OFF switch will remain in the ON position).
3.3
FILING WITH FUEL
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow cool-down time.
! !
!
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
!
WARNING! Never use an oil/fuel mixture or any polluted fuel. Fuel substitutes are not recommended.
3.3.1. Ensure all electrical loads are DISCONNECTED.
3.3.2. Ensure the area around the fuel tank filler hole is clean.
3.3.3. Remove the fuel tank filler cap, check the level of the fuel and refill with the recommended fuel if necessary.
3.3.4. Do not over-fill the fuel tank, always leave room for the fuel to expand.
3.4.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
!
WARNING! The output sockets will be live once the engine has started.
3.4.1. Ensure you have performed all actions in paragraphs 3.2. and 3.3. above.
3.4.2. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position, fig.2.
Note: If starting a warm engine or when the ambient temperature is high, move the choke control to the OPEN position.
3.4.3. Close the choke, figs.1 & 2.
3.4.4. Set the Engine Switch to the 1 position, figs.3.
Note: Ensure there is sufficient free area behind to prevent peronal injury when pulling the rope.
3.4.5. Grasp the recoil handle and pull rope slowly until some resistance is felt. Let rope rewind slowly, then pull with a rapid full arm
stroke. Let rope slowly return.
3.4.6. When engine starts, move choke lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly and then to the OPEN position.
3.4.7. If engine fails to start, repeat the procedure from paragraph 3.4.5. If it still will not start, refer to 'Trouble-Shooting' section. If necessary
contact your authorised Sealey service agent.

USING THE GENERATOR
!
WARNING!: Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
3.5.1. Allow the engine to warm up (approximately 3 minutes).
3.5.2. Select the required voltage output by positioning the voltage selector switch mounted between the two power sockets.
3.5.3. Connect the equipment to the appropriate generator socket.
3.5.4. Always observe the safety instructions of the equipment being used.
3.5.5. Carry out the following checks whilst the generator is in use:
Is there any vibration or abnormal noise?
Is there any backfiring or is the engine not running smoothly?
What colour is the exhaust gas? (Is it black or too white.)
3.5.6. If you notice any of the above points stop the generator (paragraph 3.6) and contact your local servicing agent.
3.6. TO STOP THE GENERATOR
3.6.1. Disconnect the electrical load.
3.6.2. Allow the engine to run unloaded for 1 - 2 mins.
3.6.3. Stop engine by moving the engine switch to the 0 position, figs 1 & 3.
3.6.4. Turn off the fuel valve, fig .2.
