3. If the fuel is low, replace the

filter screen inside the fuel

tank neck (Fig. E).

4. Pour in unleaded fuel from

an approved fuel container

into the fuel tank (Fig. F).

Because fuel expands, only

fill the unit to the base of the

filter housing. DO NOT FILL

to the tip of the tank. Replace

fuel cap (2) and turn clockwise

to lock.

WARNING.

Do not refill fuel tank while

engine is running or is hot.

Check to ensure that the fuel

drain (21) has been tightened

and that fuel is not leaking from

the rear outlet tube.

Note.

If the fuel drain screw (21) is not tight fuel will be

visibly leaking from the fuel drain hose (6).

Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign

objects into the fuel.

Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.

Ensure you DO NOT fuel the generator in close proximity

to any open flames.

Starting the engine

WARNING.

Before starting the

motor, ensure you have filled the

crank case to the correct level

with oil (Fig. G).

Note.

The crank case is not filled

with oil from the factory.

1. Before starting, ensure that no

electrical apparatus has been

connected to the generator.

2. Turn the fuel cap (2) vent lever

to the on position (Fig. H).

3. Turn the engine switch (7) to

the on position (Fig. I).

4. To start a cold engine move the choke lever (3) to the

start position. In order to restart a warm engine, leave the

choke lever in the run position (Fig. J).

5. Slowly pull the recoil starter

(4) until you feel it engage

and then pull it briskly. Return

the recoil starter gently and

slowly to the original position

by hand (Fig. K).

Note

. When the motor is started

for the very first time, it will

require a number of attempts to

start until the fuel has travelled

from the tank to the motor.
6. If the choke lever (3) was on

the start position gradually

move it to the run position as

the engine warms up (Fig. L).
