5.1. Starting the Generator (Self-Recoil)

Follow these steps to start your G-POWER SCD4500 generator:

1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface and all safety checks from Section 2 and 4 are complete.
2. Turn the engine switch to the "ON" position.
3. If equipped, move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position (for cold starts).
4. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull it quickly and firmly. Repeat if necessary until the engine starts.
5. Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever back to the "RUN" position.
6. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before connecting any electrical loads.
7. Once warmed up, switch the AC circuit breaker to the "ON" position.
8. You can now connect your electrical appliances to the AC outlets.

5.2. Stopping the Generator

To safely stop the generator:

1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the AC outlets.
2. Switch the AC circuit breaker to the "OFF" position.
3. Allow the generator to run for a few minutes without load to cool down.
4. Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Always turn off the generator and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance.

• Engine Oil Check/Change: Check oil level before each use. Change engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 100 hours or every 6 months, whichever comes first.
• Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement: Inspect the air filter regularly. Clean or replace it as needed, especially in dusty conditions.
• Fuel Filter Inspection: Inspect the fuel filter for clogs or damage. Replace if necessary.
