5.1 Preverjanja pred zagonom

• Preverite nivo motornega olja.
• Preverite nivo goriva.
• Ensure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator.
• Verify the generator is on a level, stable surface, outdoors, and away from any structures.

5.2 Zagon motorja

1. Obrnite ventil za gorivo v položaj 'ON'.
2. Ročico dušilne lopute premaknite v položaj 'CHOKE' (če je motor hladen).
3. Flip the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
4. Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and steadily until the engine starts. Do not let the rope snap back.
5. Ko se motor zažene, postopoma premaknite ročico dušilne lopute v položaj 'RUN'.

7. Odpravljanje težav

Ta razdelek obravnava pogoste težave, na katere lahko naletite pri uporabi generatorja.

7.1 Motor se ne zažene

• Brez goriva: Preverite nivo goriva in po potrebi dolijte svež bencin.
• Nizka vsebnost olja: Check engine oil level. The generator has a low-oil shutdown feature. Add oil if low.
• Položaj dušilke: Ensure the choke is in the 'CHOKE' position for a cold engine and moved to 'RUN' after starting.
• Stikalo motorja: Preverite, ali je stikalo motorja v položaju 'VKLOP'.
• Vžigalna svečka: Preverite, ali je svečka umazana ali poškodovana. Po potrebi jo očistite ali zamenjajte.

7.2 Brez izhodne moči

• Odklopniki: Check if any circuit breakers on the control panel have tripped. Reset them if necessary.
• Preobremenitev: Zmanjšajte skupno obremenitev, priključeno na generator.
• Povezave: Prepričajte se, da so vsi napajalni kabli varno priključeni v vtičnice generatorja.

7.3 Engine Runs Rough

• Zastarelo gorivo: Izpraznite staro gorivo in napolnite s svežim bencinom.
• Umazan zračni filter: Očistite ali zamenjajte zračni filter.
• Vžigalna svečka: Inspect the spark plug for proper gap and condition.
