Use a shielded conducting cable with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² to connect your
generator to an earthing point (e.g. a water or heating pipe). Connect the conductor to the
earthing connection on your generator and tighten it securely.
CAUTION: The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Fill with oil or
it will not start.
10.1 Starting the generator
NOTE: Before starting the generator, disconnect all loads from the generator.
▪ Make sure that the AC circuit breaker is in the OFF position. The generator may be hard to
start if a load is connected.
▪ Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
▪ The choke must be closed if the engine is cold, push the choke lever to the Choke-
position.
▪ Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
▪ Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
▪ Push the choke lever to the RUN position.
▪ Switch the AC circuit breaker switch to the ON position.
10.2 Connecting electric tools/appliances
Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the power socket. (lift the protective lid of the
socket and plug in the load.
CAUTION:
Be sure the electric appliance is turned off before plugging in.
Be sure the total load is within generator rated output.
Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.
NOTE:
When the circuit breaker is switched off during operation, the generator was overloaded or a
short circuit occurred (example. connected machine may be defect).
Stop the generator immediately, check the connected power, diminish when it exceeds the rated
generator output. Check the power tool. Allow to cool down for a few minutes before you switch
the circuit breaker back to “ON”.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an
overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector to
switch OFF, reduce the electricalload on the circuit, wait a few minutes and
then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.
