3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNINGS!
Before use, ensure that you read, understand and comply with the safety instructions. Ensure that you fully understand the
applications and limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.
NEVER connect the generator's earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry inflammable substances such as gas or domestic fuel
and there is a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
NEVER run the engine without the air filter fitted.
3.1. PRE START-UP OF THE GENERATOR.
3.1.1. Remove fuel filler cap and fill tank as required with fresh petrol, replace filler cap.
3.1.2. Carry out any checks such as checking the oil level - see maintenance section.
 WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow it to cool down before refuelling.
 WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
3.2. STARTING THE GENERATOR.

WARNING! The output sockets will be live once the engine has started.
3.2.1. Turn the fuel tap to the On position (fig.3).
3.2.2. Move the choke control lever to the CHOKE position (fig.4).
Note: If starting a warm engine or when the ambient temperature is high, the choke control lever can be left in the RUN position.
3.2.3. Set the On/Off Switch to the On (I) position (fig.1), and check circuit breaker switch and the voltage selection are in the Off position.
3.2.4. Grasp the starting recoil handle (fig.2) and pull the cord slowly until some resistance is felt, then pull with a rapid full arm stroke (fig.5).
Let the cord slowly return. Repeat pulling as necessary until the engine starts ( DO NOT pull when engine is running).
Note: Ensure there is sufficient free space behind you, to prevent personal injury when pulling the cord.
3.2.5. After the engine starts, move the choke control lever to the mid way position, until engine runs smoothly, and then to the RUN position.
3.2.6. If engine fails to start after several attempts, refer to ’Trouble-Shooting’ section. If necessary contact your authorised Sealey service
agent.
3.3. USING THE GENERATOR.

WARNING!: Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
3.3.1. Allow the engine to warm up (approximately 2 to 3 minutes).
3.3.2. Move the circuit breaker switch to the On position.
3.3.3. Connect the equipment to the appropriate generator socket. Always observe the safety instructions of any equipment being used.
3.3.4. Switch the voltage selection switch to the required voltage (left for 110V, right for 230V, mid position for Off), the 12V socket is always
live when the generator is running).
3.3.5. Carry out the following checks whilst the generator is in use:
Is there any vibration or abnormal noise? Is there any backfiring or is the engine not running smoothly? If present, what colour is any
exhaust smoke? (black or white).
If you notice any of the above points, stop the generator (see 3.4) and investigate and/or contact your local service agent.
3.4. TO STOP THE GENERATOR.
3.4.1. Switch the voltage selection switch to the mid position (Off), and disconnect the electrical load from the generator.
3.2.2. Move the circuit breaker to the Off position.
3.4.3. Allow the engine to run unloaded for 1 to 2 minutes.
3.4.4. Stop the engine by switching the On/Off Switch to the Off position.
3.4.5. Turn off the fuel tap (fig.3).
