3. Opstelling

Before first use, perform the following steps:

1. Uitpak: Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Voeg enjinolie by:
   • Plaas die kragopwekker op 'n gelyk oppervlak.
   • Vind die olievuldop/peilstok.
   • Add the recommended 10W-30 engine oil (not included) to the crankcase. Do not overfill. The oil capacity is typically around 0.35-0.4 liters. Refer to the oil fill level indicator.
   • Maak die olievuldop/peilstok stewig terug.
3. Voeg brandstof by:
   • Ensure the generator is off and cooled.
   • Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Non-ethanol gasoline is recommended to prevent fuel system issues.
   • Open the fuel tank cap and carefully pour gasoline into the tank. Do not fill above the red indicator line or the bottom of the filler neck. The tank volume is 1.05 gallons.
   • Securely replace the fuel tank cap. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
