Attach the 12 V charging leads to the battery
observing correct polarity (Red = + Positive) (black
= - Negative).
Plug the 12 V charger lead into the socket on
the generator (Fig. 13).
NOTE: With and hydrometer check constantly
the battery liquid density. Do NOT overload.
MAINTENANCE
SPARK PLUG
After every 50 hours of
running the spark plug
should be removed.
Check the color of the
deposits on the end of
the spark plug (Fig. 14), it
should be a "Tan" color.
Remove all deposits using a stiff brush a brass
wire brush is ideal. Check the spark plug gap
and adjust if required. The correct gap should
be 0. 7 to 0. 8mm.
AIR FILTER
After every 50 hours of running the air filter
should be removed, examined for deteriora-
tion and cleaned. Clean the air filter thoroughly
using an environmentally friendly water based
degreasing agent.
When the air filter has
dried out apply sufficient
ordinary engine oil, to
coat the whole of the fil-
ter. Squeeze out any ex-
cess oil and replace the air
filter (Fig.15).
FUEL TANK FILTER
Remove the fuel tank
filler cap and the filter
(Fig.16), clean the filter
thoroughly using an en-
vironmentally
friendly
water based degreasing
agent and re-fit.
STORAGE
If the generator is not to be used or is to be
stored for more than one month the following
storage procedure should be carried out. Drain
all the fuel from the fuel tank and the carburet-
tor, ensure that all the fuel has been removed.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately
one tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the
spark plug hole. With the ignition turned OFF
12
gently pull on the recoil starter cord several
times. Refit the spark plug and continue to pull
the recoil starter cord until the piston is on the
compression stroke (when resistance is felt),
then stop pulling.
Store the generator in a dry well ventilated
place under a cover to prevent any dust or de-
bris from accumulating on the generator.
