Package contents Inverter generator Spark plug wrench Instructions Safety instructions Warranty and service Oil alarm system The oil alarm system is designed to prevent damage to the engine due to low oil level. The engine is automatically shut down as soon as the oil level becomes too low. The oil alarm indicator (10) lights up red. Check the oil level when the engine stops and does not restart. Motor switch You can start the engine by using the motor switch (2) in the ON position. You cannot start the engine in the OFF position. Economy switch The economy switch (1) ensures lower fuel consumption. With the economy switch switched on, the motor runs slowly when the connected device is disconnected and automatically returns to the correct speed when the electrical device is reconnected. Disable the economy function when using the DC connection and when using DC and AC simultaneously. With the economy switch in the OFF position, the motor rotates at high speed.9 ENGLISH DC circuit protection (only 55002) DC circuit protection (12) will automatically switched on when the load exceeds the rated output of the generator. Reduce the load to the rated output when the DC circuit protection is switched on. Tank cover ventilation knob The tank cover is provided with a ventilation knob in order to stop the fuel supply. The ventilation knob should be turned clockwise once from a closed position. As a result of that, the fuel can reach the carburettor and the engine can run. Turn the ventilation knob anti-clockwise in order to stop the fuel supply. During transport of the machine, the ventilation knob must be in the OFF position. Fuel cock The fuel cock (20) is used to transport fuel from the tank to the carburettor.

Fill with oil Use 4-stroke motor oil. SAE 10W30 is recommended for general, all- temperature use. Other viscosities may be used when the average temperature is within the indicated range.

• Remove the oil filter cover (21).

• Fill the oil sump with the required quantity of oil.

• Put the oil filter cover back in its place. Fill with fuel Always use fuel that fulls the following specications: unleaded petrol, octane content at least 87. Never add fuel when the machine is on. After use let the machine cool down for at least 15 minutes before refuelling. Never smoke near the machine or the fuel. Never add fuel in the vicinity of sparks, ames or open re.

• Turn off the fuel cock (20).

• Remove the lid (17) from the filler opening.

• Pour the fuel carefully into the filler opening. Do not fill the tank beyond the marking.

• Place the lid back on the filler opening. Earthing The generator must be earthed before use. This prevents static charges that can lead to electric shock. Safety devices from the connected electrical appliances can also do their work (e.g. leakage current switches). Connect a screened conductor (minimum cross-section 1.5 mm²) to the earth connector (6) and attach the other end to a ground point (e.g. radiator or water pipe). USE Starting the motor Disconnect all connected devices before starting the engine.

1. Loosen the tank cover ventilation knob (10).

2. Turn on the fuel cock (20).

3. Put the motor switch (2) in the ON position.

4. Slide the choke lever to the CHOKE position. If the engine is

warm, it will not be necessary to do so.

5. Slowly pull the starter handle until you notice resistance. Bring

the handle back to its original position and pull fast. Do not fully pull the cord. After starting, let the starter handle return to its original position, while you are still holding the handle. Firmly hold the grip in order to prevent the generator from turning over when you pull the starter handle.

6. Let the engine run warm.

7. Slide the choke lever back to RUN position.

8. Idle running of the engine is required for several minutes.

Switch off Disconnect all connected devices.

1. Put the motor switch (2) in the STOP position.

Modication to the carburettor when used at high altitude When used at high altitudes, the standard air-fuel mixture may be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also pollute the spark plug and cause a hard start. If the generator is used at high altitudes, the main nozzle must be replaced or the idle screw must be adjusted. If the generator is always used at high altitudes, the carburetor must be adjusted. Please contact your purchase address. If the carburettor has been modied for high altitude use, the air-fuel mixture will be too low for use at low altitudes, causing the engine to overheat and become severely damaged. The carburettor must rst be returned to its original state.

Alternating current (AC) Start the engine as described above. Check that the output indicator (8) is green. To connect an electrical device or machine, plug the mains plug into thean AC socket (14). Overload protection The indicator light for overload protection lights when an overload of a connected electrical appliance is detected, or when the generator is overheated or when the AC output voltage increases. The electronic circuit breaker will then be activated and the power supply will stop in order to protect the generator and all connected electrical appliances. The power indicator (green) ashes and the overload protection (red) comes on, after which the engine stops. In that case, follow the next steps:

1. Switch off all connected electrical appliances and stop the

2. Reduce the total wattage of the connected electrical appliances

by disconnecting one appliance.

3. Check the vent slots for obstructions. Remove possible

4. Restart the engine.

The AC output of the generator will automatically reset when the engine stops and will then be started again. The indicator light for over overload protection may light for a few seconds, if electrical appliances are used that require a high starting current, like a compressor or a submersible pump. This is not a case of malfunction.HYUNDAI

Alternating current can be used simultaneously with direct current. If both are used at the same time, the total power for AC and DC must not be exceeded: AC: 0.7 kVA, DC: 4 A. Most engines require more than their nominal power when starting. Direct current (DC) (only 55002) The DC input (13) may only be used to charge a 12V battery.

• Set the economy switch to the OFF position.

• Connect the charging cable to the battery and then to the DC input (13). Risk of short circuit or sparks! Always connect the charging cable to the battery rst. Always disconnect the cable from the generator. If the cable is connected to a battery in a vehicle, the earth cable must first be disconnected from the battery to prevent short circuits. Do not start the engine of the vehicle as long as the generator is connected to the battery. This causes damage to the generator.

• Connect the positive terminal to the positive pole of the battery. An incorrect connection can seriously damage the generator and battery. If the battery liquid comes into contact with the skin, immediately rinse the skin with running water. Neutralize with a mild acid, e.g lemon juice or vinegar. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes with clean running water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor. DC circuit protection Disconnect the battery when the DC circuit protection (18) is activated. Wait a few minutes, press the circuit protection again and reconnect the battery.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For good functioning and a long lifespan for the machine, regular cleaning and maintenance is essential. Do not perform any cleaning or maintaining activities while the motor is running. Do not smoke during the below work. Do no work in the vicinity of sparks, ames or open re.

• Regularly clean the ventilation slots. Changing the oil The oil must be changed after the rst 20 operating hours, and then after every 100 hours or 6 months.
