2. Localice a tapa/varilla de nivel de aceite.
3. Retire a vara de medición e limpa.
4. Add recommended engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30) to the crankcase until the oil level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
5. Volva colocar a tapa/varilla de nivel de aceite de forma segura.

3.3 Engadir combustible

Use só gasolina nova sen chumbo cunha clasificación de octanaxe de 87 ou superior.

1. Ensure the generator is turned OFF and has cooled down.
2. Move the generator to a well-ventilated outdoor area for refueling.
3. Desenrosque a tapa do combustible.
4. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, up to the fill limit (approximately 13 liters). Do not overfill.
5. Securely replace the fuel cap. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento

4.1 Starting the Generator (Recoil Start)

1. Asegúrese de que o xerador estea sobre unha superficie nivelada e de que todas as cargas eléctricas estean desconectadas.
2. Xire a válvula de combustible á posición "ON".
3. Mova a panca do estrangulador á posición "ESTRANGUADOR" (se o motor está frío).
4. Xire a chave do motor á posición "ON".
5. Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull it slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly. Repeat until the engine starts.
6. Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the 'RUN' position.
7. Deixe que o motor se quente uns minutos antes de conectar as cargas eléctricas.

4.2 Parar o xerador

1. Desconecte todas as cargas eléctricas do xerador.
2. Deixe que o xerador funcione durante uns minutos sen carga para que arrefríe.
3. Xire o interruptor do motor á posición "OFF".
4. Xire a válvula de combustible á posición "OFF".

4.3 Conexión de dispositivos eléctricos

• Ensure the generator is running stably before connecting devices.
• Plug your 230V AC devices into the AC outlets.
• For 12V DC charging, connect your device to the 12V DC outlet.
• Do not exceed the generator's rated power output (3.2kW continuous, 3.4kW max).

4.4 ECO Throttle System

The ECO throttle system automatically adjusts engine speed to match the load, reducing fuel consumption and noise levels. For maximum power or when starting high-load devices, it may be necessary to switch the ECO throttle OFF.

4.5 Protección contra sobrecarga

The generator is equipped with an overload protection system. If the generator is overloaded, the circuit breaker will trip, and power output will stop. Reduce the load and reset the circuit breaker to restore power.

5. Mantemento

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliable operation of your generator. Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance.
