PRE-OPERATION CHECK
NOTE: Pre-operation checks should be made each time the generator is
used.
9.1
Check engine fuel
Check fuel level in the tank.
If fuel level is low, refill with unleaded fuel (EURO 95/98.). Do not use 2-stroke mixture or dirty
fuel
Be sure to use the fuel filter screen on the fuel filter neck..

Filling with petrol
WARNING:
§ Do not refill tank while engine is running or hot.
§ Do not smoke and keep away from open flames
§ Close fuel cock before refueling with fuel.
§ Open the fuel tank cap. (turn anti-clockwise) and remove it.
§ Add petrol slowly and carefully until petrol level display stands almost at "F"=full.
(“E”=empty.)
§ Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into fuel.
§ Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
§ Re-place fuel tank cap (turn it clockwise) and tighten carefully.
9.3
Check engine oil
Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the generator is put on a stable and level surface with
engine stopped.
§ Remove oil filler cap/bolt and check the engine oil level. Wipe clean the bolt's dipstick with
a lint-free cloth. Re-insert the bolt into the oil filling nozzle without screwing it in, and take
it out again. At least the lower third of the dipstick should be covered with oil. Otherwise it
is necessary to top up
§ Re-fill with suitable oil to upper level line. Use a good, clean engine oil with viscosity
SAE10W-40
§ Change oil if contaminated.

Air filter
The air filter prevents the entry of dust and dirt particles into the carburettor and the
combustion chamber of the motor.
Never operate the generator without the air filter! This would result in highly increased wear of
the engine!
A dirty air filter results in reduced engine efficiency, so the filter cartridge must be cleaned
regularly.(more often when used in dusty environments.)
