EXHAUST GAS PRECAUTIONS
• 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 an enclosed area. (i.e work-
shop, garage, lockup etc)
EARTHING THE GENERATOR
• In most situations the frame of a portable generator need not be
grounded (connected to earth) and the frame may serve as the
earth.
• An earth connector lug is fitted to the generator, for use if re-
quired to connect to an earth. This connection should only be
undertaken after full consultation with a competent, qualified
electrician.
• Earth spike not provided as not required for general use.
Exhaust fumes can be fatal!

FILLING THE GENERATOR WITH OIL
1. Remove the oil
reservoir filter cap.
2. Fill with 10W30 oil to the
centre line of the dipstick.
3. Wipe up any oil spillages
with a rag.
4. Re-insert the oil reservoir
filler cap.
Tip: When filling with oil, use a funnel with a hose.
NEVER tip the generator onto its side to fill with oil.
ONLY USE 10w30 GRADE OIL. Other oils will pre-
vent the generator from starting.
FILLING THE GENERATOR WITH PETROL
1. Unscrew fuel filler cap. 2. Fill with unleaded fuel
until at least 3/4 full.
3. Screw fuel filler cap
closed.
4. Fuel level can be indicated
through the fuel tank window.
Tip: ALWAYS use clean, unleaded petrol in the
generator. NEVER use 2-stroke or other fuels.

STARTING THE GENERATOR - PULL START
1. Disconnect all
equipment cables from the
230 V and 115 V outlets.
2. Turn the circuit breaker
to the ‘off’ position.
3. Turn the fuel tap down-
wards, this means the fuel
supply is ‘on’.
4. Turn the choke to the
‘left’ position.
STARTING THE GENERATOR - PULL START
5. Switch the engine switch
to the ‘on’ position.
6. Pull the pull starter cord
lightly, until it tenses, then
pull briskly.
7. Once generator engine
starts, move choke lever
over to the right.
THE GENERATOR SHOULD REQUIRE ONLY ONE
OR TWO PULLS TO START. Otherise please contact
SGS Engineering on 01332 576 850.

1. Start the engine and allow to run for a few minutes in order for it
to warm up.
NEVER have any appliances/tools etc plugged in when
starting the generator engine.
2. After engine has warmed up, you can then plug in appliances/
tools into the generator outlets. As a general rule, switch on ap-
pliances/tools etc that you think will take the most power demand
first.
3. ALWAYS ENSURE the correct voltage is selected, using the volt-
age selector.
If the appliance/tool has a standard 3 pin plug it must be
used in conjunction with a flylead and plugged into the
blue socket.
If the appliance / tool has a blue socket attached then it is 230 V,
and must be plugged into the BLUE outlet on the generator.
If the appliance / tool has a yellow socket attached then it is 115 V,
and must be plugged into the YELLOW outlet on the generator.
OPERATING THE GENERATOR SHUTTING DOWN THE GENERATOR
1. Switch OFF any
appliances/tools that are
plugged into any outlets on
the generator.
2. Unplug any appliances/
tools that are plugged into
any outlets on the
generator.
3. Switch the generator to
the ‘OFF’ position.
4. Turn the fuel tap so it is
pointing ‘LEFT’ into the off
position.

Is there a spark
from the spark plug?
Is the fuel tap
in the down position?
Is 10w30
oil being used?
Make sure fuel tap
is pointing
downwards.
Is the oil level
correct?
Is the choke in the
correct position?
Always use 10w30 grade
oil. If other oil has
been used by mistake,
drain and replace.
Check oil dipstick
and top up
if required.
Ensure choke is in the
correct place.
Refer to starting methods.

Troubleshooting flowchart for generator:
Generator will not start.
TROUBLESHOOTING STARTING A GENERATOR GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Generator will not start. • Check fuel valve tap is in the ‘down’ position.
• Check the oil level is correct.
• Check 10W30 oil is being used.
• Check choke is in the correct position (refer
to starting methods).
• Check there is a spark - Remove your HT
(high tension) lead from the top of your spark
plug. Remove the spark plug and reconnect
the lead, then touch the metal on the spark
plug against the generator frame. Gently
pull the starter cord mechanism, listen for an
audible ‘ticking’ sound and/or small flashes
coming from the very tip of the spark plug.
If there is no audible ‘ticking’ and/or small
flashes, the spark plug may need replacing.
Generator is difficult to
start.
• The air filter is dirty - clean the filter
• The fuel filter is dirty - clean the filter
• If the pull start mechanism is too ‘hard’ when
trying to pull it, it may denote that there is
too much oil. Check the oil level by using
the dipstick and drain excess oil from the oil
sump bolt at the bottom of the generator.
• If the pull start mechanism feels too ‘slack’
(i.e easy to pull), there may be not enough
compression in the generator engine for it to
work properly. Please contact SGS Engineer-
ing.

GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
No electrical output. • Check the breaker switch is up.
• The device being powered is faulty.
• Check that the voltage output switch is set to 115
or 230V.
• Check the connecting lead from the appliance/
tool into the generator is physically sound.
Engine making “rev-
ving” sounds
• If your generator is ‘hunting’ (surging), it may
need a carburettor adjustment. Turn the brass
screw on the carburettor clockwise slowly and
listen for the engine sound. If it does not improve
then try turning the screw anticlockwise.
See our help and advice section for videos and guides on
setting up, starting and maintaining your generator.
