[. . . ] 10 spark plug ON OFF fuel valve filter o-ring sediment cup spark plug cap Fig. 13 English INTRODUCTION This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product, making it easy to maintain and operate. DANGER GROUNDING THE GENERATOR (See Figure 1) To avoid the risk of shock or electrocution, the generator must be properly grounded. [. . . ] ENGINE sWITCH RECEpTACLEs Your generator has the following single phase, 50 Hz outlets: one 230 Volt AC, 16 Amp receptacle. These can be used for operating appropriate appliances, electrical lighting, tools, and motor loads. RECOIL sTARTER GRIp The recoil starter grip is used (along with the engine switch) to start the generator's engine. DC TERmINALs The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify the negative (-) terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity ( battery positive to generator red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal). DC CIRCUIT pROTECTOR The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC charging circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or when the connections between the battery and the generator are improper. The engine switch is used in combination with the recoil starter grip to start the generator. fUEL LEVEL GAUGE Consult the fuel level gauge to determine the amount of fuel remaining in the generator. fUEL TANK 25 litres fUEL VALVE The flow of fuel through the generator is controlled by the position of the fuel valve. GROUND TERmINAL The ground terminal is used to assist in properly grounding the generator to help protect against electrical shock. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area. OIL DRAINAGE BOLT When changing the engine oil, the oil drainage bolt is loosened to allow old engine oil to be drained. Never use old, stale, or contaminated unleaded fuel, and do not use an oil/gas mixture. Do not allow dirt or water into the fuel tank. n 9 English UsING fUEL sTABILIsER Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding a fuel stabiliser extends the usable life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow fuel stabiliser manufacturer's directions for correct ratio of stabiliser to fuel. n n n Add stabiliser to fuel tank, then fill with unleaded fuel following previous instructions. NOTE: Fuel stabiliser and unleaded fuel can be mixed prior to filling the tank by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and shaking gently to combine. Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow stabiliser to treat the entire fuel system. NOTE: Some conventional petrol are blended with alcohol or an ether compound. This type of petrol is collectively referred to as oxygenated fuel; in Australia known as Ethanol. The use of ethanol fuel, or fuels containing ethanol is not recommended for this product. CAUTION: On a level surface with the engine off, check the oil level before each use of the generator. (later on this page) n Switch the AC circuit breakers to the ON ( I ) position. DC OpERATION The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. OXyGENATED fUELs DO NOT UsE E85 fUEL. [. . . ] Oil level is low. sOLUTION Engine lacks power. Fuel valve is OFF. Refuel with fresh Engine stored without treating or draining unleaded fuel. Replace spark plug. AC receptacle does not work. Check air filter element. Try a different item. Generator makes a "spark knock" or An occasional light "knocking" or "pinging" noise. [. . . ]
