SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Caution: Never attempt to connect the generator directly to the electrical system of any building / structure which is connected to the main grid. EXPLODED DRAWING / PARTS LIST 5. AIR FILTER / EXHAUST ASSEMBLY Electrical current from the generator may "back feed" into the home's electrical system. It could cause damage or fire to the building, the generator as well as anything connected to it. Should a generator be required to be connected to any electrical system, it must be installed by a suitably qualified electrician who can warn you of any dangers that may occur. Incorrectly installed generators can also cause personal injury. For example, if a power company employee is working on an electrical line believing it to be "dead" and current created by the generator is in the line, shock or electrocution may occur. The key to better safeguard against these dangers is professional installation by a qualified electrician and the installation of a generator transfer switch. Keep in mind a generator burns fuel and must be run in a well ventilated area, it must not be run in a garage or other outbuilding. Cords used to connect the generator to the lights and appliances must be correctly sized to prevent overheating or damage to the equipment as well, again if you are unsure ask a suitably qualified electrician. Grounding instructions: 1. Use the ground terminal (see picture above) on the generator to connect the unit to a suitable ground source. Securely fasten the end terminal of the ground wire to the ground terminal on the generator. 2. The ground wire should be made of more than 0.75 square millimetre wire. Too thin wire may not provide an adequate ground path. 3. The other end of the ground wire must be securely fastened to an approved ground source. Refer to the local regulations for ground source information. If not sure of regulations or procedures, obtain assistance from a qualified (licensed or certified ) electrical technician 6 Earth point Ref No. Description Qty Ref No. Description Qty 1.

Note: The DC output will not cut out once the battery is charged and so should not be left unattended for extended periods. 9

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connecting tools etc. to the generator: This generator is fitted with 2 standard 16 amp type sockets (1 x 110V & 1 x 230V~). Inspect them, as well as anything to be connected to the generator, to ensure that no damage is present before every use. If any damage is visible have the socket / equipment inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. The wires in the plug are coloured in the following way: Yellow / green Blue Brown Earth Neutral Live As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured yellow / green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or marked Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully. Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse for the equipment. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. Note: Always make sure that the equipment to be connected is of the correct voltage (230 v ~ 50hz) and can tolerate fluctuations of 230v +/- 10% 50 hz +/- 3%, if in doubt consult the equipment manufacturer. Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the generator; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and current. Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.

Once the engine is running and warm enough, push the choke lever to the run position. filler cap (oil gauge) Note: Allow the engine to run with no load applied for a few minutes to allow the engine to come up to running temperature. Note: Breaking the engine in. The first 25 hours of operation is considered the break-in period for the engine. During this time operate at less than 75% of the load limit. To turn the generator off: Remove any loads that may be connected. Turn the engine run switch to the off (0) position. Turn the fuel tap to the off position. To fill the crankcase with oil proceed as follows: Ensure that the generator is on a flat level surface. Remove the filler cap (oil gauge) by turning it anti-clockwise. Slowly pour the oil into the crankcase. Check the oil level by pushing the filler cap back into its hole up to the bottom of the threads (do not screw the cap in). Once the oil level is between the upper and the lower marks on the oil gauge (see page 12), replace it and turn clockwise to fully tighten. The oil level should be checked every 8 hours or daily. The oil should be changed after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter change the oil after 50 hours of operation or less if the generator is operated under constant heavy loads or in high ambient temperatures. FUELLING / RE-FUELLING THE GENERATOR Caution: Petrol is highly flammable; never re-fuel the generator whilst it is running. Do not re-fuel near naked flames or other possible ignition sources. 16 13

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.cont The amount of fuel can be checked by the fuel meter on the top of the tank. When the tank is empty; the window will be all white (see top right). As the tank is filled; the orange indicator will come across the indicator window (see bottom right). Never overfill the fuel tank; leave a small air gap at the top. Fuel capacity: approx. 15 Litres. Petrol is highly flammable. Never re-fuel the generator whilst it is still running; allow it to cool for a few minutes and avoid other ignition sources that may be present.
