4. Operating Instructions

Starting the Engine (Recoil Start)

1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface and all connections are secure.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
3. Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (if the engine is cold).
4. Turn the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
5. Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull it slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the 'RUN' position.
7. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before connecting electrical loads.

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Ensure the generator is running stably.
• Plug your appliances or extension cords 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.

Stopping the Engine

1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
2. Allow the engine 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 is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your generator. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool, and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.

• Check Engine Oil: Check oil level before each use. Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50-100 hours or annually.
• Clean Air Filter: Inspect the air filter every 50 hours or more frequently in dusty conditions. Clean or replace as needed.
• Check Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug every 100 hours. Clean or replace if fouled or worn.
• Fuel System: Drain the fuel tank and carburetor if storing the generator for more than 30 days to prevent fuel degradation.
• General Cleaning: Keep the generator clean and free of debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down surfaces.
