Setup, Compatibility & Care
Pre-Start Check: Always check the oil level before every use. Use only high-quality 4-stroke engine oil.
Fueling: Use clean, unleaded petrol. Never fill the tank while the engine is running or hot.
Placement: Always position the generator on a flat, level surface outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never run the generator inside garages, sheds, or near open windows to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
