1. SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure any Health & Safety, Government, or local authority regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
9 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.
9 Maintain the generator in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 This generator is designed and manufactured for specific applications. DO NOT attempt to modify the unit or use it for any application
for which it is not designed. If you have any questions regarding the application of the unit please contact your local Sealey dealer.
WARNING! DO NOT exceed the Wattage/Amperage capacity of the generator. Add rated wattage of all devices intended for
connection at any one time, the total must not exceed rated wattage of generator (see specifications).
WARNING! Generator exhaust gases contain deadly carbon monoxide which must not be inhaled. Always allow sufficient
ventilation.
WARNING! If you decide to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (also referred to as an RCD or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), it
is imperative that the neutral end of the power winding is connected to the frame of the generator set and that the earth lug on the frame
is connected with a low impedance connector to the local earth via an earth spike or local protective earth conductor. This connection
should only be attempted by a qualified electrician, after first having consulted your local stockist.
▲ DANGER! This generator is designed for outdoor use only. To use the generator inside any building or enclosure, including the
generator compartment of a caravan, may result in fire or an explosion. No user performed modifications, including venting of the
exhaust and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate the danger.
▲ DANGER! If this unit is used for back-up power in the event of a commercial power failure, the following steps must be taken.
Before connecting the generator to the electrical system, open the main circuit breaker to isolate the generator and system from the
commercial electric supply. Failure to do this may result in damage to the generator and may result in serious injury or fatality, due to a
back-feed of electrical energy.
▲ DANGER! The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause a severe electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare
wires, terminals etc. Never allow any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive. DO NOT permit smoking, naked flames, sparks or heat in
the vicinity while handling petrol. Avoid spilling petrol onto a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling
of fuels.
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow cool down time.
9 Operate the generator only on level surfaces (maximum allowable tilt is 10º) and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt
or corrosive vapours or be in the proximity of combustible material (flammable liquids, solids or gases).
9 Remove ill fitting clothing, ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
9 Keep non-essential persons away from the working area.
WARNING! Never start or stop the generator while electrical loads are connected. Start the engine, let it stabilise, then connect the
electrical load. To stop engine, disconnect the electrical load and let engine stabilise before switching off.
WARNING! DO NOT use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cables with the generator. To do so may result in
electric shock.
8 DO NOT use the generator for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
8 DO NOT operate the generator if any parts are missing or damaged, as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
8 DO NOT over-fill fuel tank. Always leave room for fuel to expand.
8 DO NOT operate in the rain.
▲ DANGER! DO NOT tamper with the engine governed speed setting. Higher operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk of
personal injury and/or equipment damage. The generator supplies the correct rated frequencies and voltage only when running at the
correct governed speed. Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage some connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively low
speeds may result in shortened engine life. Over-speeding will invalidate the warranty.
8 DO NOT operate the generator when you are tired, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8 DO NOT store generator with fuel in tank where petrol vapours might reach an open flame or spark.

4. OPERATION
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.
4.1. EARTHING
4.1.1. 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 Figs.4, 5. 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.
4.2. 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.
9 Check the air filter element to ensure it is clean and in good condition, clean or replace as necessary.
4.3. FILLING WITH ENGINE OIL
4.3.1. Ensure the generator set is on a flat horizontal surface.
4.3.2. Unscrew the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean (See Fig.6).
4.3.3. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but DO NOT screw in.
4.3.4. 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.
4.3.5. Replace the dipstick and screw in the oil filler cap.
4.4. FILLING WITH FUEL
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
WARNING! Never use an oil/fuel mixture or any polluted fuel.
4.4.1. Ensure all electrical loads are DISCONNECTED and the circuit breaker where fitted is in the
“OFF” position.
4.4.2. Ensure the area around the fuel tank filler hole is clean.
4.4.3. Remove the fuel tank filler cap, check the level of the fuel and refill with the recommended fuel
if necessary.
4.4.4. DO NOT over-fill the fuel tank, always leave room for the fuel to expand.
4.5. STARTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING! The output sockets will be live once the engine has started.
WARNING! DO NOT run this generator unless there is adequate ventilation, the exhaust
gases contain deadly carbon monoxide.
4.5.1. Ensure you have performed all actions in paragraphs 4.2. and 4.3. above.
4.5.2. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position, Fig.1.
4.5.3. Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position, Fig.2.
Note: If starting a warm engine or when the ambient temperature is high, move the choke control to
the “RUN” position.
4.5.4. Set the Engine Switch to the “ON” position, Fig.4 and 5
Note: Ensure there is sufficient free area around the generator to prevent personal injury when
pulling the rope.
4.5.5. Grasp the recoil handle and pull rope slowly until some resistance is felt (Fig.3). Let rope
rewind slowly, then pull with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope slowly return.
