IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•NEVER allow anyone, not fully familiar with generator sets to use this equipment.

• This generator set is NOT suitable for use with electronic equipment such as

televisions, hi-fi’s or computers etc.

•IMPORTANT!: This generator uses either a floating chassis or neutral reference to

chassis earthing system. (refer to technical information sheet).

Neutral reference to chassis generators MUST be connected to an earthing

spike to ensure they are properly grounded.

Floating earth generators DO NOT require earthing.

• Connect only those appliances that are in good working order.

NOTE: Most portable electric tools are Class II (double insulated) appliances.

Always check BEFORE connecting. Equipment that does not meet this

standard (i.e. tools with metal casing) require a three conductor cable with

an earth conductor.

•

DO NOT Alter the engine settings, the voltage and frequency of the generator

output is directly linked to the engine speed. These settings are factory set.

Should they need re-calibration - consult your CLARKE dealer.

• Connect only those appliances whose voltage (according to their data plate)

corresponds to that produced by the generator.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•ALWAYSuse in a well ventilated area.

•ALWAYSensure the applied load does not exceed the generators rating.

Overloading the generator is dangerous and could cause serious damage.

•ALWAYSdisconnect the generator when carrying out any maintenance.

•ALWAYSensure the generator reaches operating speed before connecting

a load.

•ALWAYSstart the engine BEFORE connecting any appliances to the output

receptacles.

•ALWAYS check the generator for damage before use.

•ALWAYS keep well clear of all moving parts on the generator at all times.

• NEVER allow children or animals near the generator.

• NEVER connect to a commercial or mains power supply, or any other

electrical source.

• NEVER allow the generator to run out of fuel when a load is connected.

• NEVER alter or tamper with the internal wiring of the generator.

•NEVER climb or stand on the generator as dents may cause overheating of

the acoustic lining.

•

NEVER touch any part of the engine, alternator or exhaust when the generator

is in use as these get hot and could burn.

FIRE PREVENTION

•ALWAYS switch the engine OFF when refuelling.

•ALWAYS refuel away from any source of heat.

•ALWAYS refuel in a well ventilated area.

•NEVER overfill fill the tank, fill to the level specified.

•NEVER smoke whilst refuelling and avoid smoking or using a naked flame

near the generator.

•NEVER start the engine if there is a fuel spill. Any spillage must be wiped

clean and the generator allowed to dry before attempting to start the engine.

PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

•ALWAYS store the generator undercover when not in use and away from

damp or wet conditions.

•NEVER use the generator when it is raining or snowing or in wet or damp

conditions.

•NEVER operate the generator with wet hands.

•NEVER use water or any other liquids to clean the unit.

POSITIONING THE GENERATOR FOR USE

•ALWAYSleave at least a 1 metre gap between the generator and any

surrounding building or structure.

•ALWAYSensure the generator is on a solid, flat surface.

•ALWAYSensure the surrounding area is free from any material that could

burn or be damaged by heat.

• NEVER move or tilt the generator whilst it is switched on.

• NEVER cover or enclose the generator whilst it is in use.

• Be aware of the weight of the generator, do not attempt to lift or move the

generator without the assistance of other personnel or suitable lifting equipment.

EXHAUST GAS PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!: EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE FATAL.

•ALWAYS ensure that there is adequate ventilation when using the generator.

•ALWAYS position the generator so that the exhaust is pointing away from

people or animals.

•NEVER use the generator indoors or in a enclosed area. (i.e. in ware house,

tunnel, well or a hold).

PREPARATION FOR USE

Electric Start Models:

Electric start models are supplied with a 24AH dry charged battery, and a

battery acid pack. The battery must be prepared as follows:

Check to ensure the battery is in good condition, with no damage caused

during transit. Should there be any apparent damage, please consult your

CLARKE dealer immediately.

1. Disconnect the and remove the battery from the frame.

2. Remove the vent plugs and fill to 12mm above the top of the separators.

3. Allow the battery pack to soak for 30 mins, then check the levels and top

up as necessary.

4. Replace the vent plugs.

Your battery is now ready for use, however we recommend that you put it on

charge, at a rate of 2.5Amps ONLY, for 4 hours. Should you do this, remember to

re-check the battery levels when completed, and top up if necessary with

distilled water (to BS4974).

NOTE: You may charge at a lower rate than that specified, but a longer charge

time will be necessary to achieve the same ampere hour input.

NOTE: Before connecting to the generator, ensure the outside of the battery is

completely dry.

Connect the battery as follows:

1. Ensure the battery is firmly secured in its compartment within the frame.

2. Connect the battery terminals to the battery posts, ensuring you connect

the POSITIVE connection FIRST. (When disconnecting ALWAYS disconnect the

positive terminal last).

NOTE: Smear the connections and terminals with petroleum jelly.

Fuelling:

Fill with fuel, according to the instructions within the engine manual.

NOTE: Long range ‘LR’ models are fitted with a three position fuel tap as illustrated

in fig.1. These positions are ON/OFF/RESERVE.

•Ensure the tap is set in the required position.

•The fuel hose connectors are intact and there is no leakage.

NOTE: Always use a fuel funnel to fill the tank so as to avoid accidental spillage

of fuel. If fuel is spilled it must be removed from the unit and the surrounding

area, BEFORE attempting to start the engine.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS check the engine oil level before use. Top up if

necessary according to the engine manufacturers hand book.

WARNING:

• Observe all safety precautions when handling fuel. Always refuel in a

well ventilated area away from any heat sources.

• Ensure there is adequate fuel in the tank when using the generator.

Running out of fuel or stopping the engine suddenly with a load

connected could cause serious damage.

• Allow the unit to cool down before refuelling.

• Be aware that fuel and lubricants are potentially carcinogenic, direct

skin contact should be avoided, wear suitable rubber gloves.

EXTENSION CABLES

All extension cables, from the generator set to the appliance, must be carefully

selected, fitted and maintained. Cables in accordance with IEC 245-4 should

be used.

Cables should be inspected regularly, and should be replaced, not repaired in

the event of a defect.

The length and cross section of conductors should be selected according to the

job to be done. The table below is an indication of the sizes that should be used.

IMPORTANT! Ensure the cable is fully unwound when in use to avoid

overheating, and the placing of extra load on the generator.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT! Ensure all precautions are taken, referring to this and the

engine manual, before proceeding.

1. Start the engine. (refer to engine manual) and allow to run for a few minutes

at full speed in order for it to warm up.

IMPORTANT! Ensure no appliances are connected to the generator

when starting the engine.

2. Check the condition of the appliance, including the supply cable and the

extension cable if used, and ensure it is switched OFF. Ensure also that the

operating voltage is the same as the output from the generator.

3. For generators with dual output, ensure the voltage selector switch is set to

the deliver the appropriate output - 115V or 230V, see fig’s 2 & 3.

Depending on the model the switch is mounted as shown or similar, to that in

fig’s 2, 3 & 4.

4. With the engine running smoothly connect the appliance to the appropriate

receptacle: BLUE - 230V, YELLOW - 115V.

NOTE: If the AC circuit is overloaded the circuit protection switch will trip. To

reset the circuit, first disconnect the appliance, and rectify the cause of the

overload. Wait a short period and then press the appropriate reset button.

BE AWARE!

Some appliances draw more current on start-up than their normal running

current, i.e. electric motors, and compressors. If in any doubt as to whether

an appliance is compatible or not, please consult your CLARKE dealer.

Additionally, please refer to the specifications sheet attached, to ensure the

machine is used under the correct operating conditions.
