Instructions:

 It’s a type of generator that uses a gasoline engine as its power source. The generator rotor is driven to cut magnetic lines of induction, generating electric current. Gasoline generators are available in two types: Portable gasoline generators and standby gasoline generators.

  • Portable generators:  are small, lightweight generators that can be easily moved from one location to another. They are typically used to provide power for tools and appliances during outages or when working outdoors.
  • Standby generators:  are larger, more powerful generators that are installed permanently in a home or business. They are typically used to provide backup power during outages or when the main power grid is unavailable.
 

HOW TO CHOOSE THE GASOLINE YOU NEED:

To select the right gasoline generator, consider the following factors:

  • Power Output: Gasoline generators can provide power as low as 1000 watts or as high as 15000 watts, depending on the model.
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: The size of the fuel tank is proportional to the output power of the generator. A generator with a high power output will have a larger fuel tank than one with a low power output.
  • Portability: Consider purchasing a portable generator with wheels and handles for easy transportation.
 

Gasoline Generators Advantages:

Portability: Petrol generators are usually smaller and lighter than other types of generators, making them easy to transport and carry.

Low noisy: Petrol generators have a low noisy, which means they run quietly and do not disturb the surroundings.

Stable voltage regulation system: Petrol generators have a stable automatic voltage regulation system that ensures a constant supply of electricity.

Oil warning system: Petrol generators are equipped with an oil warning system that automatically shuts down the generator if the oil level is low, preventing engine damage.

HOW TO START AND SET UP YUOR PETROL GENERATOR

Inserting Oil

In order for your generator to run well, it needs to take oil inside the engine.This ensures the moving parts inside can move, and in turn generate power for you to use. Following will be some handy photos of how to put oil in your generator.

Don’t fill your generator engine up with oil whilst laid on its side. It won’t like it. Fill the generator in an upright position.

On the underside of your generator engine, there is an oil plug. Carefully unscrew this. After you have unscrewed the plug, grab yourself a suitable funnel to put oil into your engine.

Gently fill your generator engine with four stroke 10w30 engine oil. Make sure the oil is clean. Your generator should take about 600ml in four stroke engine 10w/30 oil. If you’ve made a mess with the oil, don’t worry, get an old rag and mop it up.

Once your generator engine is all topped up with oil, screw back in the oil plug. That now completes the filling of your generator engine with oil. The next step is filling with fuel.

Inserting Fuel

The lifeblood of your generator is its fuel. Here is a very easy guide on how to put fuel in correctly and safely, and also with the correct fuel.

Never use ‘mixed’ fuel. Mixed fuel can damage your generator and anything that’s plugged into it. Your generator only likes clean, unmixed, unleaded petrol fuel. Don’t use old fuel.

Never smoke and/or have naked flames whilst handling/near fuels. Fuel vapor/liquid is flammable.

Carefully unscrew the fuel tank cap. The fuel tank is located on top of your generator. Using a different funnel, place it in the fuel tank hole, and gently pour in fuel till about 3/4 full.

Carefully replace the fuel tank cap, on top of the fuel tank, and hand tighten. A handy window can be located on top of the fuel tank itself. You can use this to check fuel levels.

Starting the generator

This next step may seem a little daunting to the complete beginner of petrol generators, but fear not, it’s actually quite easy, and once you have used this part of the guide, it should be second nature.

Always switch on tools/appliances first that you think will draw the biggest load first.

Always ensure the correct voltage is selected on the voltage selector.

Turn the circuit breaker to the ‘off’ position. This is located next to your outlets, and is marked.

Turn the fuel tap downwards, this means the fuel supply is ‘on’. The fuel tap is marked.

Turn the choke to the ‘left’ position. Your engine on the generator will warm up OK.

Switch the engine switch to the ‘on’ position. This allows your generator to come to life.

DO NOT OPERATE INDOORS:

Gasoline -powered equipment emits harmful gases that are difficult to delect.

For your safety, operate this product in a well ventillated outdoor area away from doors, windows air intakes or ventilation equipment.

Failure to do can result in severe harm or death.

Read the user’s manual before use for more safety and operating instructions.
