4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Starting the Generator

1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface and in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
3. Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (for cold starts). For warm starts, the choke may not be necessary.
4. Turn the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
5. Electric Start: Press and hold the start button until the engine starts. Release the button immediately once the engine runs.
6. Recoil Start: Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and firmly. Repeat if necessary until the engine starts.
7. Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the 'RUN' position.
8. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to warm up before connecting electrical loads.

4.2 Connecting Electrical Loads

• Ensure the generator is running stably.
• Plug appliances into the appropriate outlets on the control panel.
• Do not overload the generator. The total wattage of all connected appliances must not exceed the generator's rated output (10000 watts).
• If the generator overloads, the circuit breaker will trip. Reduce the load and reset the breaker.

4.3 Stopping the Generator

1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
2. Allow the generator to run for a few minutes without load to cool down.
3. Turn the engine switch to the 'OFF' position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the 'OFF' position.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your generator. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool, and the spark plug cap disconnected.

5.1 Engine Oil

• Check: Ensure oil level is between the 'L' and 'H' marks on the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
• Change: Drain old oil when the engine is warm. Refill with the recommended oil type and quantity.

5.2 Air Filter

• Remove the air filter cover.
• Clean the foam element with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry. Lightly oil the foam element before reinstallation.
• Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty or damaged.

5.3 Spark Plug

• Remove the spark plug cap and then the spark plug using a spark plug wrench.
• Inspect for carbon buildup or damage. Clean or replace as needed.
• Ensure the spark plug gap is set correctly (refer to specifications).

5.4 Storage

• For long-term storage (over 30 days), drain the fuel tank and carburetor, or add a fuel stabilizer.
