UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Unpack your generator and check the following items are present. Should
there be any missing or damaged during transit contact your CLARKE dealer.
BEFORE USING THE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT: Generators should ALWAYS be earthed. Make sure you earth the
generator.
Before using your generator check that:
• The generator is in good condition and free from any damage.
• The generator is clean and free from fuel or oil spillage.
• The generator is correctly located for use (See page 3).
• There is no leakage.
NOTE: To avoid accidental spillage of fuel, always use a funnel to fill the
fuel tank. If fuel is spilled it must be removed from the unit before
attempting to start the engine.
EARTHING
An earth spike and cable can be purchased at your local camping supplier,
or alternatively an earth spike can be made and it is suggested you get
advice from a qualified electrician.
To make a spike use a copper tube or copper rod 12mm diameter, a minimum
length of 200 mm and with an M6 machine screw one end.
The cable used should be a maximum length of 1 metre and a minimum of
1.0mm2to carry a 10 amp load.
Attach the cable to the generator at the earth point (shown on the right).

the head of the M6 machine screw in
a similar fashion to the earth point
screw on the generator.
When pushing the spike into the
ground the generator must not be
running and it is suggested that the
spike is pushed into the ground by at
