2. Dodavanje motornog ulja
The generator is shipped without engine oil. Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick. Using the provided funnel, carefully add the recommended engine oil (typically 10W-30, a quart is often included with the generator) until it reaches the 'Full' mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.

Fill the large-capacity steel fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling. The built-in fuel gauge allows for easy monitoring of fuel levels.
Upute za rad
1. Pokretanje generatora
- Provjerite je li generator na ravnoj površini i je li sva električna opterećenja isključena.
- Okrenite ventil za gorivo u položaj 'UKLJUČENO'.
- Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (if starting a cold engine).
- For electric start models, press and hold the 'START' button until the engine starts. For manual start, pull the recoil starter handle firmly.
- Nakon što se motor pokrene, postupno pomaknite ručicu čoka u položaj 'RUN'.
2. Spajanje električnih opterećenja
Once the generator is running smoothly, you can connect your electrical devices to the appropriate outlets (120V, 240V). Do not overload the generator. The control panel features multiple outlets with protective covers.

4. Gašenje generatora
- Odvojite sva električna opterećenja od generatora.
- Ostavite motor da radi nekoliko minuta bez opterećenja kako bi se ohladio.
- Okrenite prekidač motora u položaj 'ISKLJUČENO'.
- Okrenite ventil za gorivo u položaj 'ISKLJUČENO'.
Održavanje
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Always refer to the complete owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.
- Zamjene ulja: Change the engine oil at recommended intervals, typically after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 50-100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Use the hour meter to track usage.
- Filtar zraka: Redovito provjeravajte i čistite zračni filter. Zamijenite ako je oštećen.
- Svječica: Inspect and clean the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Replace if necessary.
- Sustav goriva: Use a fuel stabilizer if storing the generator for extended periods to prevent fuel degradation.
- Generalno čišćenje: Održavajte generator čistim i bez nečistoća.
Rješavanje problema
