3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
WARNING! Before use, ensure you read, understand and comply with the safety
p
instructions in this document. Ensure you fully understand the application and
p
limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.
WARNING! Never connect the generating set earth lead to pipes. Pipes may
p
carry inflammable substances such as gas or domestic fuel and there is a risk of
p
fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
WARNING! Never run the engine without an air filter fitted.
p
p
Check the air filter to ensure it is clean and in good condition.

3.1
FILLING WITH FUEL AND OIL
WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
p
Allow cool down time.
p
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
p
3.1.1
Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected.
p
3.1.2
Ensure the area around the fuel tank filler hole is clean.
3.1.3
Remove the fuel tank filler cap, check the level of the fuel and refill with the
recommended fuel if necessary. Use unleaded or low leaded petrol to minimise
combustion chamber deposits.
3.1.4
Do not over-fill the fuel tank. Always leave room for the fuel to expand.
Note: The Low Oil Alarm system will automatically stop the engine before the oil level
falls below the safe limit.
3.1.5
Visually inspect the oil level regularly.
3.1.6
Use only high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil. Refer to fig. 1.
3.2
STARTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING! Disconnect the load from the DC terminals.
p
3.2.1
Ensure you have performed all actions in paragraphs 3.1 above.
p
3.2.2
Turn the fuel cap lever fully clockwise to the ON position. Refer to fig. 2.
3.2.3
Set the Engine Switch to the ON position. Refer to fig. 3.
3.2.4
Move the choke lever to the START position. Refer to fig. 4
Note: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
Note: Ensure there is sufficient free area behind to prevent personal injury when pulling
the starter grip.
3.2.5
Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull the starter grip briskly towards the
arrow, as shown in fig. 5.
3.2.6
After the engine has warmed up, move the choke lever to the RUN position. Refer to
fig. 6.
3.2.7
If engine fails to start, repeat the procedure from paragraph 3.2.1.
3.2.8
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before fault-finding in
other areas.
3.2.9
If it still will not start, refer to ’Trouble-Shooting’ section. If necessary, contact your
authorised Sealey service agent.
3.3
USING THE GENERATOR
AC APPLICATIONS
WARNING! Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
p
Note: The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If using both
p
simultaneously, do not exceed the total power for both AC and DC.
3.3.1
Start the engine and ensure the green output indicator light illuminates. Refer to fig. 7.
3.3.2
Connect the equipment to the generator socket.
3.3.3
The output indicator will remain ON during normal operation. If the generator overloads, ie
in excess of 1kVA or there is a short in the connected appliance, the red overload
indicator light will illuminate and current to the connected appliance will be cut off.
3.3.4
If the red indicator light illuminates, stop the engine and investigate the source of the
overloading. Refer to fig. 7.
Note: When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light and the output
indicator light may come ON simultaneously. This is normal if the overload
indicator extinguishes after approximately four seconds.
3.4
USING THE GENERATOR
DC APPLICATIONS
WARNING! Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator.
p
Note: The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If using both
p
simultaneously, do not exceed the total power for both AC and DC.
3.4.1
Start the engine and ensure the green output indicator light illuminates.
3.4.2
Connect the equipment to the generator socket.
3.4.3
The output indicator will remain ON during normal operation. If the generator overloads, ie
in excess of 100W or there is a short in the connected appliance, the red overload
indicator light will illuminate and current to the connected appliance will be cut off.
