Video Tutorial:
Before Use Checklist
Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before
starting the engine or operating the equipment. All
procedures described are generic in nature and slight variations between
different models may exist. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may
result in making the product warranty void. The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces
of oil from the manufacturing process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct
type to the engine before use – see Checking and Changing Engine Oil. Failure to add engine oil will void
the product warranty.
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.
Some machines may feature an oil level sensor that will prevent the engine being started or automatically
stop the engine if the oil level falls below an acceptable level. This system, however, is not to be solely relied
upon. Always check that the engine oil level is at or near the "MAX" indicator before starting the
engine. See Checking and Changing Engine Oil.
Inverter Generator Set-Up
Air Filter
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly 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 petrol (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 tank 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.

Priming the Fuel System
For engines equipped with a fuel primer, it may be necessary to “prime” the fuel system
when first used or after running out of fuel before attempting to start the engine. This
means removing any air from the fuel line and filling the carburettor with fuel. To prime:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2. Locate the fuel primer (A). The primer is a "rubber button" that acts as a pump
when pushed and released. it is generally located on the same side of the unit as
the fuel tap.
3. Press the fuel primer repeatedly until you feel that fuel is in the primer.
Battery
For electric start and remote control models, the battery is shipped with the unit, but must be connected in
order for electric starting and remote control functions to be available.
To connect the battery:
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the battery access cover (A) from the side of the unit. Once removed, the
battery and battery cables are accessible.
2. Carefully pull the battery connection cables (B and C) from the compartment and connect them.
3. Carefully tuck the cables back into the compartment, then re-install the battery access cover.

Engine Starting
Before starting the engine, ensure that you have followed all procedures described in the
Before Use Checklist. The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil
from the manufacturing process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type
to the engine before use – see Checking and Changing Engine Oil. Failure to add engine oil will void the
product warranty. • 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 types, electric
start 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 will run at higher speed to maintain the required output.
Manual/Pull Starting
1. PRIME – If necessary, "prime" the fuel system.
2. FUEL – Place the fuel tap (A) in the "ON" position and the fuel filler cap vent (B) in the "ON" position.
3. CHOKE – If the engine is cold, use the choke.
4. IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF switch (C) in the "ON" ("I”") position. For key switches (if
equipped), insert the key then turn it one position to the right – this is the "ON" position
5. 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 cold conditions or if the normal starting procedure is not
working, choke may be required to help start the engine:
1. For fuel-injected models, use a screwdriver to remove the
engine access cover (E). For non-fuel-injected models the
choke is accessible through the engine access cover (EE).
2. Move the choke lever (F) to the "COLD" or "START" position.
3. Start the engine as normal. As the engine warms up, slowly
move the choke lever to the "HOT" or "RUN" position.
4. For fuel-injected units, re-install the engine access cover.
If the engine cannot be started, check the engine oil level
before any other troubleshooting as the low oil safety
mechanism may be preventing the engine from starting.

Electric Starting
For models equipped with an electric start option, connect the battery before attempting to start the unit.
Using the electric start is the preferred starting method. If the battery is flat, use the manual/pull
starting method.
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 as per manual/pull starting.
2. START – Turn the ignition key fully to the right to, to the "START" position, to engage the starter motor.
The engine should start.
If the engine does not start, repeat step 2. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, refer to
Troubleshooting.
Remote Starting
The remote electric start feature is not recommended for use if the ambient
temperature is low enough to require choke for engine starting. • The
battery will be drained if the ignition remains in the "ON" position for extended
periods without the engine running.
For models equipped with remote control, to use remote engine start:
1. PRIME – If necessary, "prime" the fuel system.
2. FUEL – Place the fuel tap (A) in the "ON" position and the fuel filler cap vent (B)
in the "ON" position.
3. IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF key switch (if equipped) in the "ON" ("I") position. For key
switches, insert the key then turn it one position to the right – this is the "ON" position.
4. REMOTE OPERATION – Place the remote control switch (D) (if equipped) in the "ON" ("I") position.
5. START – Press (F) on the remote control to engage the starter motor. The engine should start.
If the engine does not start, repeat step 5 onward. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, refer to
Troubleshooting.
Stopping the Engine
1. OUTPUTS – Turn OFF any connected devices, then unplug them from the generator.
2. IGNITION – Place the engine ON/OFF switch or key switch in the "OFF" ("O") position.
3. FUEL – Place the fuel tap in the "OFF" position and the fuel filler cap vent in the "OFF" position.

Emergency Stop
Some models may feature an "emergency stop" button on the control panel. Press and hold
the button until the engine stops completely.
After using the emergency engine stop, it is recommended to follow the normal engine stop
procedure (disconnect connected devices and ignition and fuel OFF).
Remote Stopping
For models equipped with remote control, to use remote engine stop:
1. OUTPUTS – Turn OFF any connected devices.
2. STOP – Press (A) on the remote control to stop the engine.
After using the remote engine stop, it is recommended to follow the normal engine
stop procedure (disconnect connected devices and ignition and fuel OFF).
Environmental Considerations
Altitude
If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m (approximately 5000'), adjustments to the
carburettor may be required. This is because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which
effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to air going into the engine and the higher the altitude, the richer the
fuel mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently operated at high altitude, it is recommended to
have an authorized service centre make the necessary carburettor adjustments. If the engine is used
occasionally at altitude (not extreme altitudes), no adjustments should be required, however, a slight
decrease in engine performance can be expected.
Temperature
If the engine is being used in extremely cold or hot
environments; for example, desert or snow conditions, the
type of engine oil may need to be changed to suit
environmental temperatures. Oil thickens as the temperature
decreases and thins as temperature increases, which means
that if the engine oil is not suited to the temperature its ability
to properly lubricate the engine may be affected. Use the
following chart to determine the correct engine oil:

Operating the Generator
Allowing the generator to run when being overloaded may permanently damage it
and/or shorten its service life and may void product warranty. • Ensure that the
generator is grounded (earthed) before using it. • 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]:
Ambient Temperature (°C)
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
Running 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.
Many generators have a "maximu m" 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 ma xi mum
output of 2.2kW would be suitable.

DC Applications
Observe the following safety precautions when powering low voltage DC devices and
charging batteries:
• When connecting a battery to the DC output, 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 reactivate 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.
12VDC and 5VDC Devices
Some generators feature a protected 12VDC and or 5VDC
"USB" outlets that are used for powering suitable devices.
The 5VDC is "pure sine wave", allowing it to be used with
"sensitive" devices, such as laptop computers etc.
1. Start the generator.
2. Ensure that any device to be connected is switched
OFF, then plug the device/adapter in to the generator
12VDC outlet (A) (if applicable), or 5VDC USB connector (B) (if applicable), as required.
3. Switch the connected device ON and operate as normal.
4. When finished using the device, switch it OFF, then unplug the device from the generator.
A
Battery Charging
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 (C) to the
generator DC output socket.
2. Connect the battery charging cable to the
battery terminals – red (D) to the battery
positive (+) terminal, black (E) to the battery
negative (-) terminal. Connect the positive (+) terminal first.
3. Start the generator.

Checking and Changing Engine Oil
The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing
process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the
engine before use. Failure to add engine oil will void the product warranty. • 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 according to
regulations. • Some engines feature oil level detection, which will prevent the engine being started or
automatically stop a running engine if there is insufficient oil. • Always check the oil level and ensure is at
or near the "MAX" indicator before using the machine.
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

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.
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 oil level
is approximately the top of the patterned section (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.
7. Re-install the engine access cover and secure it with the 2 screws (rotate right).

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, disintegrating), replace it.
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly 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.

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 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":
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.
Spark Plug Removal/Installation
1. Lift and slide the spark plug access cover (A) from the generator.
2. Pull the electrical lead (B) from the terminal on top of the spark plug.
3. If accessible, clean the area around the spark plug so that no dirt or other material can enter the engine
when the spark plug is removed.
4. Use the spark plug socket (C) to remove the spark plug (rotate left).
To re-install the spark plug:
1. Place the spark plug in its hole and screw it in (rotate right) until "finger tight".
2. Use the spark plug socket to tighten the spark plug approximately one quarter turn (do not over-tighten).
3. Place the electrical lead over the spark plug terminal and push it down so that it connects firmly with the
terminal.
4. Re-install the spark plug access cover.
