4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
WARNING! Before use, ensure you read, understand and comply with the safety instructions in Section 1. Ensure you fully
understand the applications and limitations, as well as the potential hazards of the generator.
WARNING! DO NOT connect the generator earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry inflammable substances such as gas or domestic
fuel, causing a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.
WARNING! DO NOT run the engine without the air filter fitted.
Check the air filter to ensure it is clean and in good condition.
Check that the generator is standing on a flat, horizontal surface.
4.1
REPLENISHING FUEL AND OIL
WARNING! DO NOT refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine time to cool down.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive.
4.1.1
Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected.
4.1.2
Ensure the area around the fuel cap is clean.
4.1.3
Remove the fuel cap (fig.1), check the level of the fuel and refill with the recommended fuel if necessary. Use unleaded petrol
(95RON) to minimise combustion chamber deposits.
4.1.4
DO NOT over-fill the fuel tank. Always leave space for the fuel to expand.
4.1.5
Visually inspect the oil level regularly. Take out the oil filler cap dipstick, clean and re-insert in the filler hole but DO NOT screw it in. If
oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill with recommended oil, up to the top of the filler neck (fig.3).
4.1.6
Use only high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil.
Note: The low oil alarm system will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. Check engine oil
level regularly to avoid inconvenient shutdowns.

4.2
START UP PROCEDURE
WARNING! Ensure all appliances are disconnected from the AC/DC outlets.
4.2.1
Ensure that the generator has sufficient fuel and oil (refer to Section 4.1).
4.2.2
Open the fuel cap vent (fig.1).
4.2.3
Turn the engine switch to the 'ON' position (fig.2).
4.2.4
Turn the fuel tap to the 'ON' position (fig.1).
4.2.5
Move the choke lever to the 'ON' (start) position (fig.4).
Note: DO NOT use the choke when the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
Note: Ensure that there is sufficient free space around you to prevent personal injury when pulling on the start handle.
4.2.6
Pull the start handle until resistance is felt, then pull the start handle briskly upwards and the engine should start running. Repeat if
necessary. DO NOT allow the start handle to snap back, return it slowly.
Note: When first starting, it may be necessary to pull the start handle several times to prime the carburettor with fuel.
4.2.7
After the engine has warmed up, move the choke lever to the 'OFF' (run) position (fig.4).
4.2.8
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level, and top up if necessary, before fault-finding in other areas.
4.2.9
If the engine still will not start, refer to Section 7 (Trouble-Shooting). If necessary, contact your Sealey dealer.
Note: Economy control switch (fig.2) - This should be set to ON "I" in normal use. The engine will idle when electrical appliances
are not connected and will speed up when electrical appliances are connected. When high electrical loads are connected
simultaneously, turn the economy control switch to the OFF "0" position. In DC applications, turn the economy control
switch to the OFF "0" position
Note: To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be earthed by connecting a length of heavy cable
from the generator earth connector (fig.2) to a suitable earthing point.
