OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION & GROUNDING
Before using this generator it must be pre-
pared correctly before use. Locate the genera-
tor on firm level ground away from buildings
or other structures ensuring that the exhaust is
not obstructed.
WARNING: It is advisable to properly earth-
ground your generator before starting using a
wire and a small earth stake.
NOTE: The wire and earth stake are not sup-
plied with the unit.
Earth spike and cable can be purchased at your
local camping supplies, or alternatively an
earth spike can be made, and it is suggested
you get advice from a registered electrical
trades person. To make a spike use a copper
tube or copper rod 12 mm diameter, a mini-
mum length of 200 mm and with an M6 ma-
chine screw at one end. The cable used should
be a maximum length of 1 meter and a mini-
2
mum of 1,0 mm to carry a 10 A load.
The cable should be at-
tached to the genera-
tor at the earth point
(Fig.1) and to the spike
between a flat washer
and the copper with a
lock washer under the
head of the M6 machine
screw in a similar fashion
to the earth point screw
on the generator.
When placing the Spike into the ground the
generator must not be running and it is sug-
gested that the spike is pushed into the ground
8
by at least 100 mm so that it is firm and a li-
ter of water poured around it to ensure good
earth continuity.

FUELING

The generator is powered by a two-stroke
engine, which uses a petrol oil mix fuel. The
correct fuel mixture is a ratio of either 50:1 of
petrol and two stroke oil (depending on the
ambient temperature) i. e. 50 parts of unlead-
ed petrol to one part of twostroke oil.
FUEL MIXING
The fuel tank has a maximum capacity of 4L. To
mix the fuel correctly use the filler cap gauge
to measure the correct amount of oil to petrol.
WARNING: Do not mix the fuel in the gen-
erator fuel tank use a suitable container.
Measure the fuel into the
container then add the
correct proportion of two
stroke oil according to the
chart shown in Fig.2
When the correct ratio has
been mixed replace the con-
tainer cap and agitate the
container to ensure thor-
ough mixing of the petrol
and oil.
FILING THE FUEL TANK
Use a suitable funnel to transfer the fuel mix
from the container to the generator fuel tank,
taking care not to spill any fuel or over fill the
fuel tank.
The fuel tank should
not be filled above the
top of the fuel filter as
shown in Fig.3

STARTING THE GENERATOR ENGINE

Before starting the engine make sure that all
the electrical loads are disconnected from the
generator AC outlet socket.
Gently agitate the fuel
mix by gently rocking
the generator

wards and forwards a
few times. This will en-
sure that the two-stroke
oil has not settled out
from the petrol.
