Before Use Checklist
Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before starting the engine or operating the w ater
pump. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in
making the product warranty void.
4-Stroke Engine Oil
Four-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or
irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires
regular maintenance. Check the engine oil level and ensure that the oil level is at or just under the maximum
level indicator.
Always check the engine oil level before starting the engine. See Checking and Changing Engine Oil.
Air Filte r
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possi bly entering the engine and causing internal
damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance.
Always check the air filter before starting the engine. See Checking, Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter.
Fuel
Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition
sources. • The engine must be cool before refuelling.
Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.
• Use non-ethanol unleaded (higher RON values will provide best engine performance). Do not use old or
contaminated fuel.
To fill or top up fuel:
1. Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
2. Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap
is removed.
3. Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.
4. Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or
otherwise overfill the tank.
5. When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the
machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the machine away from the spillage before starting the engine.

Engine Starting and G ener at or O per a tion
Before starting the engine, ensure that you have followed all procedures described in the Before
Use Checklist. • Before starting the generator, disconnect all output sockets so that no load is
immediately placed on the generator as it starts up.
Different models may feature variations in design; for example, some have different engine t ypes, etc. The
following procedures and images are typical to all models, however, the position or appearance of controls
etc may vary. All major engine controls are identified on the machine by way of stickers or other markings.
Once the engine is started, the engine speed will automatically regulate depending on connected load. For
example, under high loads, the engine may run at a higher speed.
Starting and Stopping the Engine
1. FUEL – Place the fuel tap (A) in the “ON” position and on the fuel filler cap, place the fuel vent (B) in the
“ON” position.
2. IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF switch (C) in the “ON” (“I”) position.
3. START – Slowly pull out the starter cord (D) until you feel it engage with the engine, then pull it out
rapidly. Hold the generator handle firmly when pulling the starter cord to prevent the machine toppling
over. The engine should start. Allow the starter cord to rewind slowly – do not let it “snap” back.
If the engine does not start, repeat step 3. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, refer to
Troubleshooting.
Using the Choke
In very cold conditions, if the normal starting procedure is
not working, choke may be required to help start the engine.
To use the choke:
1. Remove the engine access cover (E).
2. Rotate the choke lever (F) toward the rear of the
machine – this is the “COLD” or “START” position.
3. Start the engine as normal. As the engine warms up,
slowly rotate the choke lever back towards the front of
the machine – this is the “HOT” or “RUN” position.
4. Once the choke is fully in the “HOT” or “RUN” position,
re-install the engine access cover.
NOTE: If the engine cannot be started, check the engine oil le v el before any other troubleshooting as the low
oil safety mechanism may be preventing the engine from starting.
Stopping the Engine
1. OUTPUTS – Turn OFF any connected devices, then unplug them from the generator.
2. IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF switch in the “OFF” (“O”) position.
F
E
3. FUEL – Place the fuel tap in the “OFF” position and on the fuel filler cap, place the fuel vent in the “OFF”
position.

Operating the Generator
• Ensure that the generator is grounded (eart hed) before using it.
• Allowing the generator to run when being overloaded may permanently damage the unit
and/or shorten its service life and may void product warranty.
• Ensure that any device to be powered by the generator is switched OFF before connecting it to the
generator.
• Ensure that all devices that will be powered by the generator are electrically safe and functioning normally.
If at any time a connected device appears to malfunction, stop or slow down etc, immediately switch the
generator and device OFF and disconnect the device.
• Do not exceed the rated power output of the generator. Consider the power rating for all connected
devices that will be running simultaneously, both AC and DC, and ensure that the sum of all power
consumption is no more than the generator rated output with consideration given to actual power output
based on altitude and temperature (see Understanding the Rated Output). For example, 2 x 1200W devices
will be acceptable for a 2.5kW rated output generator, however, will overload a 2kW unit.
• Do not exceed the rated current for the output socket. For example, do not connect a device that draws
15A to a 10A socket.
• If using an extension cable, ensure it is an approved type and has a minimum wire gauge of 1.5mm² up to
a cable length of 60m; 2.5mm² up to a cable length of 100m.
• For appliances that place high “inductive” loads when being started or stopped (for example, electric
motors), consideration should be given to the rated output of the generator and the required inductive load
capacity. Rated output equates to approximately 45 to 75% of inductive load capacity.
• Do not connect devices in parallel to the generator.
• Devices sensitive to input voltage fluctuation should be connected via a suitable surge protector.
Understanding Rated Output
The “rated output” is described as the maximum power that the generator can consistently and reliably
provide. The rated output of a generator is based around several factors including altitude, ambient
temperature and relative humidity. The specified rated output is calculated at an altitude of 0m, ambient
temperature of 25°C and relative humidity of 30%. Deviations from these values will affect the actual output
capacity of the generator. For example, if the generator is used at high altitude it will produce less power.
Basically the higher the altitude, the warmer the ambient temperature and the greater the humidity, the less
power can be produced. The following table provides a guideline for calculating actual generator output
based on ambient temperature and altitude [note that humidity is ignored here as it has a marginal effect]:
Altitude (m)
0
500
1000
2000
3000
4000
25 30 35 40 45
1 0.98 0.96 0.93 0.90
0.93 0.91 0.89 0.87 0.84
0.87 0.85 0.82 0.80 0.78
0.75 0.76 0.71 0.69 0.66
0.64 0.62 0.6 0.58 0.56
0.54 0.52 0.5 0.48 0.46
Ambient Temperature (°C)
Power Output Coefficient
Examples:
At an approximate altitude of 1000m and 30°C ambient temperature, the power output coefficient is 0.85.
So, a rated output of 2.5kW becomes 2.5 x 0.85, which equates to an actual power output of 2.125kW.
At an approximate altitude of 2000m and 25°C ambient temperature, the power output coefficient is 0.75.
So, a rated output of 2.0kW becomes 2.0 x 0.75, which equates to an actual power output of 1.5kW.

At an approximate altitude of 3000m and 40°C ambient temperature, the power output coefficient is 0.58.
So, a rated output of 2.0kW becomes 2.0 x 0.58, which equates to an actual power output of 1.16kW.
Calculating Generator Load
Most electrical devices clearly state the required power, usually in Watts (W). This information is generally
labelled on the device, or listed in its user manual. If a device lists power consumption figures in amperes
(A) only, calculate the wattage by multiplying the ampere rating by the voltage. For example, a 10A device @
240VAC equates to 2400W (10A x 240V). The sum of all devices required to be operating simultaneously
needs to equal or be less than the rated output of the generator.
Many devices require a different load on start-up/shut-down that is often much higher than the actual
continuous running requirements. For example, a water pump may require 2000W to start, and once started,
requires 500W to continue running. When calculating generator load, the start-up requirements need to be
factored in. If the start-up power consumption is not known, the table below lists typical consumption figures
for several device types that may assist in determining how many or which devices may be connected and a
starting order [that is, start the high consumption devices first, followed by devices with no additional start-up
power requirements].
Start-up Watts 50 to 150 100 to 200 150 to 500 800 200 1400

Example (using the typical values above):
To run a radio, electric fan and small refrigerator requires an approximate running power consumption of
100W (radio) + 200W (fan) + 600W (refrigerator) = 0.9kW. However, when factoring in start-up power
requirements, the equation becomes 100W (radio) + 600W (fan) + 1500W (refrigerator) = 2.2kW.
11
Fuel-Injected Petrol Powered Inverter Generators
NOTE: Many generators have a “maximum” output above that of the rated output, which is allowable for a
short period. This is to allow (up to a point) for increased start-up loads that reduce once connected devices
are running. Using the above example, a generator with a rated output of 1.5kW and maximum output of
2.2kW would be suitable.
Grounding the Generator
The generator must be properly grounded before use. Failure to ground the generator may create a
shock or electrocution hazard.
Connect a length of insulated heavy gauge wire (C) between the generator Ground connector (A) (on the
control panel) and a suitable ground point. You can create a ground point by driving a metal rod (B) into the
ground and connecting the free end of the cable to it.

Generator Stat us Indicato rs
Once the engine is running, the generator is ready for operation. The generator stat us indic ators on the
control panel have the following functions:
• Overload – Illuminates red when the power being drawn from the generator exceeds
its rated power output or a short-circuit has occurred in a connected device. If this
indicator remains illuminated, you must switch the generator OFF and disconnect one
or more devices before using the generator again. Ensure that the generator is
operating within its rated power output capacity or, in the event of a device shortcircuit, have the device inspected by a qualified technician. If this indicator remains
illuminated after generator start-up or without any devices connected to the generator,
switch the generator OFF and have it inspected at an authorized service center.
• Power – Illuminates green when the generator is operating normally and the power
being drawn from it is within its rated power output capacity.
• Low Oil – Illuminates red if the engine oil level is inadequate and will automatically stop the engine. This
safety feature may also prevent the engine being started. If the engine oil level is low, top it up.
AC Applications
Observe the following safety precautions when connecting AC mains devices:
• Connect only devices that have power requirements compatible with the generator.
• Connect only devices that have connectors compatible with the generator output sockets.
• Always switch the connected device OFF before connecting to or disconnecting from the generator.
• Do not connect devices in parallel to the generator.
• Devices sensitive to input voltage fluctuation should be connected via a suitable surge protector.
1. Start the generator and ensure that the Power indicator (green) is lit.
2. Ensure that any device to be connected is switched OFF, then plug the device in to the applicable
generator outlet.
3. Switch the connected device ON and operate as normal.
When finished using the device, switch it OFF, then unplug the device from the generator.

Fuel-Injected Petrol Powered Inverter Generators
DC Applications
Observe the following safety precautions when connecting/disconnecting and
charging batteries:
• When connecting to the DC output ALWAYS ENSURE that the polarity (+ to + and – to –)
of connections is correct. Failure to do so may represent an explosion hazard and/or damage the generator
and/or connected battery.
• The DC circuit is not monitored and does not automatically switch off or self-regulate depending on the
voltage of the connected battery. This means that you must independently monitor battery charge status and
disconnect the battery before it is over-charged. Over-charging batteries may present an explosion hazard.
• The DC output over-current protection can be tripped in the event of too much
current being drawn (see Specifications for maximum current draw for differing
generator models). If this occurs, the DC protection reset switch (on the control
panel) will “pop out”. Press the switch to reset the protection and re-activate the
generator DC output.
• To prevent sparking near the generator, when disconnecting a battery,
disconnect the battery charging cable from the battery terminals before unplugging it from the generator DC
output socket. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, followed by disconnecting the positive (+) terminal
and do not allow the cable ends to touch.
• When charging a battery that is mounted in a vehicle, at the vehicle battery, disconnect the negative (-)
terminal first, followed by disconnecting the positive (+) terminal. Then, proceed to connect the battery
charging cable as normal. Ensure that the battery terminals or charging cable terminals do not make contact
with the vehicle chassis as sparking may occur.
• Do not attempt to start a vehicle whilst its battery is connected to the generator, as damage to the
generator may result.
• Batteries that are being charged may emit dangerous gases. Batteries being charged should be in a well
ventilated area and a safe distance from any sources of flame, heat, flammable or volatile materials.
• Batteries contain sulphuric acid. Contact with skin or eyes may cause burns – wash with water immediately
(at least 15 minutes if has contacted eyes) and seek professional medical attention. Wear protective clothing
and face mask when handling batteries.
• If battery acid is swallowed, administer water or milk and immediately seek professional medical attention.
• All batteries should be kept out of reach of children.
Some generators feature a protected 12VDC outlet that is used for
charging suitable batteries (vehicle batteries etc). Use the supplied
cable to connect the battery to the generator.
1. Connect the battery charging cable (A) to the generator DC
output socket (B).
2. Connect the battery charging cable to the battery terminals (C)
– red to the battery positive (+) terminal, black to the battery
negative (-) terminal. Connect the positive (+) terminal first.
3. Start the generator.
When finished using the DC output, disconnect the battery
charging cable from the battery, then disconnect it from the generator.

Maintenance
Running petrol engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust
fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see.
NEVER run a petrol engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run petrol
engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents. • Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely
flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. • Do not have the engine running during
inspection and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch before
performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities described may be beyond the scope of
some users. For procedures that you are not comfortable with or have the tools or experience for, have the
unit serviced by a service center or qualified technician.
To keep the engine performing at optimal efficiency, regular checks and maintenance is required. Proper
care and maintenance ensures best performance and longest service life.
The Maintenance Schedule below specifies preventative maintenance checks and necessary maintenance
tasks and how often they should be performed. The schedule applies to multiple engines; some engines may
not include some components, so maintenance on those components is not applicable.
Harsh operating environments such as extreme temperatures, dust etc may necessitate more
frequent maintenance. • Maintenance frequencies are based on general factors including a
maximum use of approximately 300 hours per year. Apply common-sense when following the maintenance
schedule based on your actual use of the product. • Keep reasonable records of maintenance activities for
reference. Failure to follow the maintenance schedule, using incorrect or non-compatible accessories
or replacements parts, or general negligence may result in making the product warranty void.

Checking and Changing Engine Oil
Always check engine oil level when the machine is in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
• Do not use used or contaminated engine oils. • Use only engine oils of the correct type (see
Specifications). • Perform the first oil change within the first 20 hours of use. Subsequently, change the oil
every 20 hours of use. • It is recommended that the engine be warm, but not hot, when performing oil
changes. When the oil is warm it drains faster. • Using dirty or incorrect engine oil may cause engine
damage and void any warranty • Always use suitable tools. • Always dispose of used oil in an
environmentally responsible manner and ac co rding to regulat ions. • Some engines feature oil level detection,
which will prevent the engine being started or automatically stop a running engine if there is insufficient oil.
Four-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or
irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires
regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule.
To check engine oil level:
1. Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level
surface.
2. Remove the 2 screws (rotate left) securing the engine access
cover (A), and remove the cover.
3. Clean the machine around the oil filler cap (B) so that no dirt
or other material enters the engine when the cap is removed.
A
4. Remove the oil filler cap (rotate left) until fully unscrewed.
The oil level is determined by how far up the dipstick oil can
be seen. To check:
a. Wipe the dipstick (C) clean with a piece of cloth or
paper.
b. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler and screw it in.
c. Remove and inspect the dipstick – the MAX o i l le v e l
is approximately half way up the patterned section
(X).
X
5. Ensure that the oil level is at or just under the permissible
maximum. If the oil level is low, add additional oil until the
correct level is reached. If the oil level is too high, drain some
oil until the correct level is reached.
6. When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the oil filler cap until
firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the machine.

Checking, Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter
Operating the machine without a functional air filter may cause severe engine damage and will void
any warranty. • A dirty or oil saturated air filter will restrict air flow, which can be mistaken as fuel
system problems. Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting engine idle speed, where applicable. •
If the air filter is damaged (torn, broken, d isint egrat ing ), rep lace it.
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possi bly entering the engine and causing internal
damage to it. The engine breather may be connected to the air intake assembly – this may lead to a build-up
of oil in the air filter over extended use and is normal. The air filter requires regular maintenance as per the
maintenance schedule.
Air Filter Inspection and Cleaning
Inspect the air filter for dirtiness and debris, damage etc. Clean or replace the filter element as necessary. To
clean air filters:
• For foam filters, wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry.
• For paper filters, use compressed air to blow particles from it. The air should be blown from the engine
side of the filter.
• Clean all other air filter assembly components using water and mild detergent, then dry them.
• For foam filters, place a few drops of clean engine oil on the filter then squeeze it a few times to spread
the oil through the filter material and remove any excess oil.
Air Filter Removal/Installation
To remove the air filter:
1. Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
2. Remove the 2 screws (rotate left) securing the engine access cover (A), and remove the cover.
3. Remove the 3 screws (E) (rotate left) securing the air filter cartridge (B) to the air intake assem bly (C).
4. Pull the air filter cartridge out.
5. Unclip the plastic cage (D) on the air filter cartridge to remove the air filter element.
To install the air filter:
1. Insert the air filter cartridge into the air intake assem bly and secure it with the 3 screws (rotate right). Do
not over-tighten.
2. Re-install the engine access cover and secure it with the 2 screws (rotate right).

Maintaining the Spark Plug
If the spark plug is damaged (cracked insulator, broken or eroded electrodes etc), replace it. •
Always use spark plugs of the correct “heat range” - see Technical Specifications.
The spark plug is used to ignite the air/fuel mixture inside the engine. The spark plug has electrodes on one
end and an electrical terminal on the other. The spark plug requires regular maintenance.
Spark Plug Cleaning and Gap Checking
The spark plug should be checked and cleaned as per the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove any carbon deposits on the spark plug (A) electrodes (B) with a wire
brush.
2. Clean the spark plug threads and the electrical terminal (C) on the top.
To check and adjust the spark plug “gap”:
B
X
1. Use “feeler” or “thickness” gauges (X) to measure the existing gap. The gauge
must drag a little when being slid between the electrodes (2) – this means the
measurement is fairly accurate.
2. Adjust the gap to within specification (see Specifications). If the gap needs to be
reduced, gently tap the electrode as required. If the gap needs to be increased,
use pliers to gently pull the electrode as required.
3. Measure the gap again and ensure it is within the specified range before re-installing the spark plug.
