CHECKING THE AIR FILTER 1. Remove the left side maintenance panel. 2. Remove the three air filter cover screws shown on the right. 3. Slide out the air filter cover. 4. Remove the air filter element. 5. If the air filter is damaged contact Clarke spare parts department for a replacement. • If the filter is dirty, wash it in a solution of warm water and mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING: YOUR GENERATOR MAY NOT BE SUPPLIED WITH OIL, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT OIL BEFORE USE. WARNING: TO CARRY OUT THIS CHECK, THE ENGINE MUST BE OFF. NOTE: Place the generator on a level surface and check the oil level as follows. 1. Remove the maintenance panel shown on the right. 2. Turn the oil filler cap anticlockwise and remove from the oil reservoir, wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. 3.
CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL WARNING: MAKE SURE THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK WHEN USING THE GENERATOR. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR STOPPING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WITH A LOAD CONNECTED COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE. 1. To check the fuel level, open the fuel filler cap. Fuel filler cap 2. Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank (maximum 7L) • Do not overfill the fuel tank. 3. Replace the fuel filler cap securely. WARNING: FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS.
USING YOUR GENERATOR STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Remove all connections from the AC sockets. 2. Hold the fuel tank cap so that it will not move, and turn the air vent knob to the ON position. Air vent knob 3. Turn fuel valve to the ON position (pointing downwards). 4. Set the engine switch to ‘ON’. 5. Set the choke to the required position. • If the engine is cold, move the choke to the left. • If the generator is warm, move the choke to the right.
6. If this is the first time you are using the generator or if the generator had run out of fuel the last time you used it, pump the primer bulb 10 times to introduce fuel into the carburetter. 7. Hold the generator handle firmly and pull the starting handle lightly until you start to feel resistance and then pull up sharply to start the engine. NOTE: You may have to do this more than once. .
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES The generator can supply both 230V AC and 12V DC AC POWER 1. Start the engine. See page 12. 2. Make sure the appliance is turned off before connecting it to the generator. 3. Connect the appliance to the generator. CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLIANCE BEING CONNECTED IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, IF IT BEGINS TO ACT ABNORMALLY OR STOPS SUDDENLY, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE GENERATOR CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATED LOAD FOR THE GENERATOR.
DC POWER For charging car batteries only CAUTION: MAKE CONNECTIONS TO THE BATTERY AFTER STARTING THE GENERATOR. 1. Set the economy control switch to ‘OFF’. 2. Start the generator.
