Fitting the handle
Firstly, place the 2 handle gaskets (supplied with the
generator) over the holes on the petrol tank. Then proceed
by placing the handle on top of the gaskets ensuring the 2
holes in the handles line up with the holes on the tank.
Screw the handle onto the petrol tank using the 2 screws
provided with the unit. Ensure the flat washers and spring
washers are fitted under the heads of the screws.
Mixing the fuel
1. The generator uses unleaded fuel and 2 stroke grade oil.
2. You need to mix both unleaded fuel and 2 stroke
oil together.
3. The proportion should be 40 parts unleaded fuel and
1 part 2 stroke oil.
Quick reference/common fuel mixture requirements for
40:1 is:
- 1 Litre of unleaded fuel mixed with 25mL of 2 stroke oil.
- 5 Litres of unleaded fuel mixed with 125mL of 2 stroke oil.
4. The mixture should be poured into an approved fuel
container. This fuel container should be clearly marked
as a fuel container, sealed and made from fuel
resistant material.
5. Once the mixture has been poured, shake the fuel
container well to ensure that the contents have been
thoroughly mixed.
Filling the fuel tank
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Remove the fuel cap (2) by turning anticlockwise.
3. Pour the fuel/oil mix from the fuel container into the fuel
tank (3). Because fuel expands, DO NOT FILL to the tip
of the tank.
4. Replace fuel cap and turn clockwise to lock.
Starting the engine
1. Before starting, ensure that no electrical apparatus has
been connected to the generator.
2. Turn the fuel tap (4) clockwise to the ‘on’ position.
3. Move the choke lever to the left hand side position.
4. Press “I” on the on/off rocker switch.
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel it engage and
then pull it briskly.
Note: When the engine is started for the very first time, it
will require a number of attempts to start until the fuel has
travelled from the tank to the engine.
