USER GUIDE
CHECKS BEFORE EVERY USE
Check the following before each use to ensure the generator is safe to use and to prolong
the life of your generator.
LEAKS - Ensure there are no fuel or oil leaks. If you spot any leaks do not use the generator.
FUEL - Ensure you have enough fuel in the fuel tank.
OIL - Check the oil level is within the minimum and maximum markings. The
generator has a low oil pressure alarm and engine cut-off. In the event of low oil-pressure
the generator will automatically switch off to protect the engine from potential damage. In
addition, we do recommend that you regularly check the oil level.
NUTS & BOLTS - Check for loose nuts or bolts and tighten if necessary.
