Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from windows and doors, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never operate the generator indoors, including garages or sheds.
- COSense Technology: This generator is equipped with COSense Technology, which automatically shuts down the engine if hazardous carbon monoxide levels are detected.
- Low-Oil Level Shutdown: The engine will automatically shut down if the oil level drops below a safe operating threshold, protecting the engine from damage.
- Interruptores: Integrated AC circuit breakers protect the generator from overload. Reset them by pressing the button after resolving the overload condition.
Configuración

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.
Instrucións de funcionamento
1. Iniciando o Xerador
- Asegúrese de que o xerador estea sobre unha superficie nivelada e de que todas as cargas eléctricas estean desconectadas.
- Xire a válvula de combustible á posición "ON".
- 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.
- Unha vez que o motor arranque, mova gradualmente a panca do estrangulador á posición "RUN".
2. Conexión de cargas eléctricas
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. Apagar o xerador
- Desconecte todas as cargas eléctricas do xerador.
- Deixar que o motor funcione uns minutos sen carga para que arrefríe.
- Xire o interruptor do motor á posición "OFF".
- Xire a válvula de combustible á posición "OFF".
Mantemento
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.
- Cambios de aceite: 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.
- Filtro de ar: Inspeccione e limpe o filtro de aire regularmente. Substitúao se está danado.
- Buxía: Inspect and clean the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Replace if necessary.
- Sistema de combustible: Use a fuel stabilizer if storing the generator for extended periods to prevent fuel degradation.
- Limpeza xeral: Manteña o xerador limpo e libre de residuos.
Resolución de problemas
If your generator experiences issues, consult the following basic troubleshooting steps. For complex problems, contact qualified service personnel.
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O motor non arrancará | No fuel, low oil, choke not set, battery low (electric start) | Add fuel, add oil, adjust choke, charge battery. |
| Sen saída de enerxía | Disxuntor disparado, sobrecargado, conexión defectuosa | Reinicie o disxuntor, reduza a carga e comprobe as conexións. |
| O motor apágase durante o funcionamento | Low oil, COSense activation, overload | Check oil level, move to well-ventilated area, reduce load. |
