Safety Warnings

General Safety Warnings

It is important you read and understand the instruction manual before use and keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

Safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury when operating this generator.

The Generator is a potential source of electric shock if misused. DO NOT

expose the generator to moisture, rain or snow. Do not let the generator get wet. Do not operate the generator with wet hands.

It is strongly recommended that a comprehensive training

course on machine use, fuel handling safety and engine operation be completed before attempting to use this machine.

Like all power equipment this unit must be handled carefully:

Do not expose yourself or others to danger. Do not permit others to use this generator unless they have read this manual and are trained in its operation. Do not operate if the generator is damaged or is in an excessively worn state. To reduce fire hazards keep the engine and silencer free of debris, leaves, or excessive lubricant. Do not use any attachments or accessories with the generator other than the ones recommended by the supplier. Serious injury to the operator or bystanders can result as well as cause damage to the generator. Always use proper handles when moving the generator. Keep the generator in a horizontal position on a firm flat surface. Do not tilt. Do not use the unit if it is damaged or poorly

adjusted. Never remove the generator’s

coverings. Serious injury to the operator or bystanders could result as well as damage to the generator. Do not use this unit for any job other than those for which it is intended as described in this manual. In start-up or during or after operation of the engine, never touch hot parts such as the muffler, the high voltage wire or the spark plug. Do not operate the generator in the rain or under wet conditions. Always ensure all handles, guards and covers are fitted when using the generator. Always keep the generator away from naked flame or sparks. Always stop the engine or disconnect from mains before cleaning / clearing a blockage or checking, maintaining or working on the generator. Connections

to a building’s electrical system must be

made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow an electrical current from the generator to back feed into power lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. Improper connections may cause the generator to explode, burn or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.

Transporting the Generator

The engine should be turned off when the generator is moved between areas and when transporting or storing the generator. Always turn off the engine. When transporting in a vehicle: properly secure your generator to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage.

Fuelling

Petrol is an extremely flammable fuel. Keep clear of naked flames. Do not spill any fuel – do not smoke near fuel or the generator.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling. Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill and cause a fire. Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure buildup in the tank to release slowly and avoid fuel spillage. Fuel your generator only in well ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe the generator immediately – if

fuel gets on your clothing, change immediately. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal burn injuries, check for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until leak is fixed.

During Operation

Make sure you always have good balance and secure footing. Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for possible hazards that you may not hear due to the noise of the generator.

Never allow children to access

the generator.

Avoid operating while people, especially children or pets are nearby. To reduce the risk of injury or damage, do not allow any other persons within a radius of 1 metre of the product. To reduce the risk of damage to property, also maintain this distance from other objects (vehicles, windows).

After Use

Always clean dust and dirt off the generator – do not use any grease solvents. Always keep the generator clean, especially, the fuel tank, its surroundings, and the air cleaner. After the engine has stopped, the engine and exhaust components will still be hot. Never place the generator in any places where there are flammable materials such as dry grass, combustible gases or combustible liquids etc. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.

Maintenance and Repairs

Service the generator regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in this instruction manual. Have all other work performed by a servicing dealer. We recommend that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorised service person. Before proceeding to adjust or repair the generator, be sure to stop the engine and detach the spark plug. Never attempt to make engine adjustments while the unit is running. Always make engine adjustments with the unit resting on a flat, clear surface. Replace any worn, damaged or removed warning labels immediately.

1. Remove the “front access panel”.

2. With the fuel tank full of fuel; remove the fuel line from the engine by using a pair of pliers to unclip the hose-clamp.

3. Allow fuel to flow out until there are no more air bubbles. This can be a messy process so use an absorbent rag to catch all the fuel running out of the line.

4. Push the fuel line back onto its connection point and re-fasten the hose clamp.

5. Clean up any spilled fuel.

6. Attempt to start the engine.

250714103200

Using your Generator

Checking the fuel level

WARNING! Fuel is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. WARNING! Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks

in the area where the engine is refuelled or where fuel is stored.

WARNING! Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure the fuel filter cap is closed properly and

securely.

WARNING! Keep out of reach of children WARNING! 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.

WARNING! Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing in of vapour.

1. Fill the fuel tank until you can see the fuel rise up into the strainer tube or reach the upper limit mark

2. After refuelling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.

Checking the Air Filter

NOTICE! It is normal for a small amount of oil may leak under the air filter box if the generator is running for a

long period of time. Wipe excess oil after each 10 hours of use.

NOTE! 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.

See section “Cleaning the Air filter” for more information.

Checking the engine oil level

Visually inspect the oil level by opening the “Oil filler cap”. Oil should be just touching the outer most brim of the oil filler hole, See section “adding oil” for more information.

Oil alert system (if equipped)

ATTENTION! Generators must operate on a level surface or engine damage may occur. WARNING! This is a backup feature only; warranty is void if run with low oil. ATTENTION! Check Oil level before each use or every 3 hours of continuous running.

The oil alert system (if equipped) is designed to reduce the chance of engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the oil alert indicator light (red) will come on when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this occurs, add engine oil. Always check the oil before starting the engine.

250714103200

Voltmeter (if equipped)

The Voltmeter displayed current total power generation by the generator. Some models are fitted with an LCD digital display instead (see section “Digital Display”).

Digital Display (if equipped)

The LCD Digital display provides the following information:

 V: Voltage output (power is being generated)  H: Total Hours used (some models are factory tested before being packaged)

 Hz: Hertz (power is being generated)

AC applications

1. Ensure all appliances have been disconnected from the generator.

2. Start the engine. Turn on all circuit breakers.

3. Make sure the output indicator light stays on or the Voltmeter indicates steady power output. (indicators vary between models)

4. Connect appliances one-by-one (spread the load over all 240V outlets if you purchased a 3-Phase).

5. Switch all circuit breakers to “ON”.

6. Switch on your appliances one-by-one taking care not to overload the generator.

DC applications

Charging 12V automotive batteries:

 The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use.  An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector. If this happens, unload the DC load before

pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation.

3-Phase applications (selected models only)

IMPORTANT! Its critical you balance the load on a 3-Phase generator to avoid all the power being

created from one of the three parts (phases) or damage to the engine may occur.

IMPORTANT! On 3-Phase generators, only one third of the total generator capacity is available

from any single phase 240v outlet.

IMPORTANT! 3-Phase generators are not suitable for running power-hungry appliances from 240v

Single Phase outlets.

IMPORTANT! Appliances that draw surges of power should not be run from the 240v single phase

outlets on 3-phase generators.

 If you have purchased a 3-Phase generator identified by a large 5 PIN

round electrical socket.

 On a 3-Phase generator power is generated on three individual parts

of the motor and combined to create one single and very powerful socket.

All three 240v outlets must be used with even amounts of power or damage

may occur to the engine and void warranty (See section on balancing a 3-Phase outlet).

250714103200

Balancing power on a 3-Phase generator

IMPORTANT! This section only applied to 3-Phase capable generators. WARNING! Failure to balance output on a 3-Phase generator can cause damage and void warranty. IMPORTANT! Only one third of the total generator capacity is available from any single phase 240v outlet. WARNING! 3-Phase generators are not suitable for running power-hungry appliances from 240v Single

Phase outlets.

WARNING! Appliances that draw surges of power should not be run from the 240v single phase outlets on

3-phase generators.
