Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Generators
Before it will run, you will need to supply 900mls of engine oil, none is supplied. I suggest buy 5 litres of 15w/30 as you will need oil for oil changes, it's cheaper to buy 5 litres. It comes with a nicely designed funnel for the oil filling. Once petrol is filled into petrol tank there is a small rubber button that requires 6 presses to prime the system. Slide the choke to ON position. Upon pulling the pull start, it started on the second pull. Now for the key starting. You will need to connect 2 wires to the battery, which involves unscrewing 2 screws with the supplied screwdriver. Battery cover is the removable cover located on front panel under the digital meter. The cables are just floating above the terminals. You will find the 2 bolts to secure the cables in the plastic bag of tools and bits. Use the key to start as you would start your car. Once started let run for 5 seconds, then slide chock to OFF position. Now for the Remote Starting. Key must be in the Run position. Two remote control units are supplied. On the top is silver knob, this is the antenna. With your fingernails pull it up. It will come up about 90 millimetres. On the front of remote control is a sliding door. Put your thumb on the groove lines and slide down. This exposes 2 ON and 2 OFF buttons. Press any one of the ON buttons TWICE. You will hear clicking noises at the generator, you will see the chock button sliding. When it is ready it will crank the starter motor. If it fails to start the engine, do nothing, just wait and it will do the clicking noises again and the cranking again. It will start. Now it is ready to plug in your devices. To turn the generator off, UNPLUG your devices and simply press one of the OFF buttons. With any small engine it is important to change the oil every 50 hours. You engine will last years longer if regular oil changes are done. To assist you to know how many hours your engine has run, there is a digital hour meter under the main digital display. So when it reaches 50, change oil, when reaches 100, change oil, 150 and so on. Makes it easy. The noise of this generator is a little louder than Honda, but hardly much. It is a bigger physical size than Honda, it has to be, it has a battery, bigger motor and starter motor. It weighs around 37 kg, but has 4 wheels and one has a brake on it. Has generous lifting handles. Quality of build is pretty good. For the price is is excellent value for money and the features make it a great buy. I am so happy to have the key and remote starting, means my wife can get it going without worrying me to do it. Mine came with a weather proof soft cover, spark plug spanner, 12 volts plug with 2 USB outlets, battery charging plug for the 12 volt socket, with 2 elevator clips to clip onto the battery for charging. I forgot to mention my battery was nearly flat once I put the cables on… I had to start generator on the pull start then charge battery with the charging cable for one hour. All good then. I am using this in a motorhome situation. Will run air con no worries in the summer.Read full review
