4.3 Menambah Bahan Api

Gunakan petrol tanpa plumbum segar dengan penarafan oktana 87 atau lebih tinggi. Jangan gunakan E85 atau bahan api campuran.

• Pastikan penjana berada di permukaan yang rata dan enjin dimatikan serta sejuk.
• Buka penutup penutup minyak.
• Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, avoiding overfilling. Leave some space for fuel expansion.
• Pasang semula penutup bahan api dengan kemas. Lap sebarang tumpahan bahan api dengan segera.

4.4 Membumikan Penjana

• Connect a heavy-gauge copper wire from the generator's grounding terminal to a suitable ground source, such as a ground rod driven into the earth.

5. Operating Your Generator

5.1 Menghidupkan Enjin

• Ensure the generator is on a level surface and in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Make sure no electrical devices are connected to the outlets.
• Putar injap bahan api ke kedudukan 'ON'.
• Jika menghidupkan enjin sejuk, gerakkan tuil cok ke kedudukan 'CHOKE'. Untuk enjin panas, tetapkannya kepada 'RUN'.
• Turn the Start/Run/Stop dial to the 'START' position.
• Tarik pemegang starter undur dengan kuat sehingga enjin dihidupkan.
• Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the 'RUN' position (if used).
• Biarkan enjin panas selama beberapa minit sebelum menyambungkan beban elektrik.

5.2 Menyambung Peranti Elektrik
