3. USE
BEFORE STARTING THE
GENERATOR
Ground terminal
The generator ground terminal is
connected to the frame of the generator, the
metal non-current-carrying parts of the
generator, and the ground terminals of each
receptacle. Before using the ground terminal,
consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for
local codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
Fill and check oil level (quantity is 0.6 L)
Always check the oil level (with machine in a
level position) before starting and if the
engine unexpectedly stops (fig. 2).
For general use you can use an “all
temperature” oil 10W-30
≤ 0ºC SAE#10
0ºC - 25 ºC SAE#20
25ºC - 35 ºC SAE#30
≥ 35ºC SAE#40
Fill and check fuel level
• Use unleaded fuel only
• Remove any power cords
• Turn power switches off
• Do not overfill – leave air gap at top of fuel
level
• Always screw down fuel cap
• Clean up any spilled fuel
• Do not smoke while operating the
generator
Always use caution!
Starting the generator
Fig. 1 + 4 + 5
1. Turn on fuel tap (15).
2. Turn on engine switch (12).
3. Move choke lever (13) to closed position
(to restart a warm engine, leave the choke
lever in open or half-open position).
4. Pull slowly on the starter cord until it
engages, then pull sharply to start the
engine (14).
5. Allow the engine to run until it warms up,
and then move the choke lever to the open
position (13).
Using the AC Output (230 V)
• Start the generator.
• Plug in the electrical appliance plug.
• Press AC current protector downward to
“ON”(7).
• The voltmeter (11) displays the voltage on
the AC socket. Normally this should be ±
230 V during use.
Stopping the generator
Fig. 1 + 5
1. Unplug all cords (5)
2. Turn engine switch to “OFF” (12)
3. Turn off fuel tap (15)
