2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please make sure you review each precaution carefully. Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words. “WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if instructions are not followed. “CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed. Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire.
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water. Ensure all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal. Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line as connection may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard. No smoking while handling the battery.

3. PRE-OEPERATION CHECKS 1. CHECK ENGINE OIL Before checking or refilling oil, be sure generator is located on stable and level surface with engine stopped. • Remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level. • If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with suitable oil to upper level line. • Do not screw in the oil filler cap when checking oil level. • Change oil if contaminated. 2.
6. GROUNDING THE GENERATOR (if applicable) • Theses Generators are ground to earth via the frame. • If grounding to Earth via an Earth spike/stake is required, follow below instructions. o To ground the generator to the earth, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding spike driven into the earth or to the conductor which has been already grounded to the earth.
3. OIL SENSOR a) The oil sensor detects the fall in oil level in the crankcase and automatically stops the engine when the oil level falls below a predetermined level. b) When engine has stopped automatically, switch off generator’s AC circuit breaker, and check the oil level. Refill engine oil to the upper level as instruction on page 6 and restart the engine. c) If the engine does not start by usual starting procedures, check the oil level. 5.

8. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DAILY • • Check oil level Check all components according to “PRE-OPERATION CHECKS.” EVERY 50 HOURS • • Wash air-cleaner element (more often if used in dirty/dusty environments). Check spark plug, clean if necessary. EVERY 100 HOURS • • Change engine oil. *- more often if used in dirty/dusty environments. Clean spark arrestor. EVERY 200 HOURS • • Adjust spark plug gap. Clean fuel strainer. • • Replace spark plug and cleaner element.
9. “HOW-TO” MAINTENANCE CAUTION Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair. NOTE It is recommended to use ear protection when performing operation, maintenance and repair of the generator set. 1. ENGINE OIL CHANGE a) Change engine oil every 100 hours. (For new engine, change oil after 20 hours). b) Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil filler cap while the engine is warm.
10. PERIODIC OPERATION AND INSPECTION When generator is used as an emergency electrical power source, periodic operation and inspection is required to ensure machine will operate when needed. Fuel (gasoline/diesel) and engine oil will deteriorate overtime, and this may cause the engine to be difficult to start and will result in improper engine operation and fault. CAUTION Since the fuel (gasoline/diesel) will have deteriorated overtime, replace with fresh fuel periodically, every (3) months is recommended.
12. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline/diesel left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine starting difficult. Remove the carburettor float chamber and drain the carburettor. Change engine oil. Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary. Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth.
13. TROUBLE SHOOTING When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your nearest SUBARU engine dealer or service agent for further information or corrective procedures. To locate your nearest service agent, go to www.crommelins.com.au. When Engine Fails to Start: Check if choke lever is in its proper position.
