PRE-START CHECK

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 lit-
tle oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without the correct amount of oil can dam-
age the engine. Oil crankcase capacity: 0.35 litres. Always check the oil level before
starting the generator, make sure the genarator is on a level surface. To check oil
level;
1) Remove the rear access cover.
2) Turn the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.1A counterclockwise, remove it and clean it with a clean cloth.
3) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to check the oil level.
4) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill with SAE 10W30 oil through the dipstick hole (using the supplied oil fill container) until
the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole as shown in illustration Fig.1B.
5) 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) If it is necessary to add fuel, first make sure the engine is OFF and preferably cool, then
open and remove the fuel cap (A) Fig.2 by turning it counterclockwise.
2) Make sure the fuel filter cup (B) is positioned inside the tank opening before refueling.
3) When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to add enough fuel
based on usage. Fill tank with gasoline until you notice the fuel level coming up through
the fuel filter cup, fill until it reaches approximately half way up the cup, be careful not
to spill gasoline or to overfill the tank. A full tank will give you 5-6 hours of operation
depending on the load. Use clean unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do
not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: 4.5 Litres.
4) IMPORTANT: Before operating generator, turn the fuel cap lever (C) Fig.2 to the
"On" position to allow gas vapors to escape, preventing fuel vapor build-up in
the gas tank. Once you have finished using the generator, turn the fuel cap lever
to the "Off" position.
AIR CLEANER FILTER
WARNING! Never run the engine without the air cleaner filter installed. Rapid engine
wear will result.
The air cleaner filter (A) Fig.3 should be checked before every start-up and after prolonged storage to make sure it is clean and in good condition.
The following steps should be done when checking the air cleaner filter;
1) Remove the rear access cover.
2) Undo the large screw (B) Fig.3 and remove the air cleaner cover (C).
3) Remove the filter (A).
4) Wash filter in kerosene, squeeze kerosene out, soak filter in engine oil and squeeze engine oil out.
5) Reposition filter in air cleaner assembly (D), reinstall cover and secure it with the large screw.
