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.
Checking the engine fuel
1. Switch off engine by pressing the engine switch (8)
to the ‘off’ position.
2. If the fuel is low, remove the fuel cap (2) by turning
anticlockwise.
3. Check to ensure the fuel filter screen is inside the fuel
filter neck.
4. Pour the unleaded fuel from an approve fuel container
into the fuel tank (1). Because fuel expands, DO NOT
FILL to the tip of the tank.
5. 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 (14) 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 (5) 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 (5) 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.
