Automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
This generator has been equipped with AVR technology
which provides automatic voltage regulated power for
continuous uninterrupted stable power supply.
The AVR maintains a regulated AC output and reacts
substantially quicker to rapid surges in voltage, therefore,
preventing the possibility of damage to the generator and
attached equipment.
Preparing the generator
It is important to check the generator before you commence
operating the unit.
IMPORTANT. Ensure that the engine has oil. When leaving
the factory, this generator has NO OIL in the engine.
Note. The engine will not start if the generator has no oil.
Checking the engine fuel
1. Switch off engine by turning the ignition switch (10) to
the ‘off’ position.
2. Check the fuel level by viewing the fuel level gauge (3).
3. If the fuel is low, remove the fuel cap (2) by turning
anticlockwise.
4. Check to ensure the fuel filter screen is inside the fuel
filter neck.
5. Pour the unleaded fuel from an approve fuel container
into the fuel tank (1). Because fuel expands, DO NOT
FILL to the lip of the tank.
6. Replace fuel cap (2) and turn clockwise to lock.
WARNING.
• Do not refill fuel tank (1) while engine is running or is hot.
• Check to ensure that the fuel drain (16) has been
tightened and that fuel is not leaking.
• Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign
objects into the fuel.
• Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
• Ensure you DO NOT fuel the generator in close proximity
to any open flames.
Checking the engine oil
The motor of this generator is not filled with oil.
Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is filled with
SAE #30 4 stroke oil.
Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty if the
motor is run without oil.
1. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the generator is
put on a stable and level surface, ensuring the engine has
been switched OFF.
2. Remove the oil filler cap (7) by rotating the cap anti-
clockwise and inspect to see the oil level.
3. If the oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE
#30 4 stroke oil to the upper level line.
Note. Do not screw in the oil filler cap (7) when checking oil
level, simply insert and pull the cap straight out.
4. If the oil is contaminated
or has discoloured,
ensure you change the
oil. Refer to the ‘Engine oil
replacement’
section for instructions.
Note. This motor is fitted with
a low oil sensor. If the oil level
is too low the motor will stop
operating or the motor will not
start. It is advised to
check the oil level each time
the generator is used.
Connecting the battery
Note. Before using the key
start function of the generator
you must connect the battery to
the generator.
1. Firmly take hold of both
plugs and insert one into
the other until they ‘click’
into place (Fig. A).
