Thank you for purchasing a GENELITE

product from our range.

The Owners Guide should be read in

conjunction with your engine

manual.

It is important to use the correct oils &

fuels to ensure extended engine life.

Important Hints For General Operation:

1. REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL

2. USE CORRECT FUELS

3. CHANGE OIL REGULARY

4. DO NOT OVERLOAD UNIT

5. IF IN DOUBT, ASK!

The most commonly asked question from

most owners is “what grade of fuel is

preferred?” In all cases, unleaded fuel is

considered the best for petrol powered

units.

Failure to use unleaded will cause carbon

build up and service will be required at more

frequent intervals.

Changing oil and the type of oil is the most

important low cost service you can give your

unit. Do not use high performance oils with

additives required for water cooled engines

such as friction modifiers, Teflon’s and other

oil additives. In most cases your engine

manual will suggest a multi-grade or SAE 30

grade/heavy duty oil. Care is required in the

oil selection for air cooled petrol and diesel

engines.

Oil selection should be made after referring

to your engine manual.

Frequent oil changing where units are used

regularly will extend engine life significantly.

The following procedures

should be observed before

using your generator for the

first time.

Electrical Hazards Follow these tips to protect against electrical hazards: • • • • • NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as “Back Feeding”. This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbours served by the same transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection devises.

A permanently wired generator changeover switch must be installed to ensure that at no time parallel operation is possible, and that effective isolation is maintained between all active conductors of the load being supplied by the generator and the electrical installation connected to supply from either Energex or Ergon Energy. Carbon Monoxide Hazard NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) very quickly.

Use of safety switches with portable generators Safety switches can be used with portable generators, however if wiring is not done correctly, or the safety switch is not the suitable type, it may not provide protection. To ensure your family is protected, make sure the installation is in accordance with the Australian Wiring Rules and with relevant safety standards. Consult a licensed Electrical Contractor for further information Make sure extension cords are adequately sized to handle the electricity.
