3. 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 or 40:1 of petrol and
two stroke oil (depending on the ambient temperature)
i.e. 50 parts of unleaded petrol to one part of two-
stroke oil.
Warning! Use only genuine two-stroke oil.
Fuel mixing
The fuel tank has a maximum capacity of 4.5L.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 generator 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.4 When the correct ratio has
been mixed replace the container cap and agitate the
container to ensure thorough 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.5.
4. 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 backwards and forwards a few times.This will
ensure that the two-stroke oil has not settled out from
the petrol.Turn the fuel cock lever to the on position
(See fig 6).
