Frequently Asked Questions - SIG2218 Simpson
How do I start the Simpson SIG2218 generator?
Ensure oil and fuel are filled. Turn the fuel valve to ON, close the choke, pull the recoil starter rope firmly. Once started, open the choke gradually. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.
What type of fuel should I use?
Use clean, unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 or diesel. Use fuel stabilizer if storing.
What oil is recommended for the SIG2218?
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for general use. In cold temperatures (< 32°F / 0°C), use SAE 5W-30. Check oil level before each use.
How often should I change the oil?
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation (break-in), then every 50 hours or at least once a year. Use recommended oil.
What is the break-in procedure?
During the first 5 hours, vary the load but do not exceed 50% of rated power. Change oil after break-in. This ensures proper engine seating.
How do I store the generator for long periods?
Drain fuel or add stabilizer, change oil, clean air filter, and store in a dry, ventilated area. Cover to protect from dust. Run the generator every 3 months.
What should I do if the generator has no power output?
Check if the circuit breaker is tripped. Reset it. Also check fuel, oil level, and that the generator is not overloaded. If problem persists, consult a technician.
Can I connect the generator to my house panel?
Only use a properly rated transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. Never plug the generator directly into a wall outlet (backfeeding) as it is dangerous.
Where can I buy replacement parts?
Parts are available through Simpson's website, authorized dealers, or online retailers like Amazon. Use genuine parts for safety and performance.
What is the warranty period for the SIG2218?
Simpson offers a 2-year limited warranty for consumer use. Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Register your product online.
