Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the unit, place it on a flat, stable surface in a well-ventilated outdoor location. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh unleaded petrol and check the oil levels as specified in the manual. Before first use, verify that your equipment connections match the socket voltages (115V vs 230V) to avoid damage. Compatibility is broad, covering standard UK domestic plugs, 32A industrial sockets, and various USB-powered devices. For care, regularly inspect the air filter, change the engine oil per the recommended service intervals, and ensure the unit is kept dry. If storing the generator for an extended period, it is recommended to drain the fuel system to prevent stale petrol from clogging the carburetor.
