Lea LE75196-240 Original Instructions Manual - 8. Pre-Operation Check
6
-
“ON”(I) : Ignition circuit is switched on. The engine can be started.
-
“OFF”(O) : Ignition circuit is switched off. The engine can not run.
7.3 Ac protector (ac circuit breaker)
Fig.1 (7)
The AC PROTECTION turns off automatically when:
-
The load exceeds the generators rated output.
-
In case of short circuit
CAUTION:
Reduce the load to within specified generator rated output if the AC PROTECTOR
turns off.
8. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
NOTE: Pre-operation checks should be made each time the generator is used.
8.1 Check engine fuel
Check fuel level in the tank.
If fuel level is low, refill with unleaded fuel (EURO 95/98.). Do not use 2-stroke mixture or dirty
8.2 Filling with petrol
-
Do not refill tank while engine is running or hot.
-
Do not smoke and keep away from open flames
-
Close fuel cock before refueling with fuel.
-
Open the fuel tank cap. (turn anti-clockwise) and remove it.
-
Add petrol slowly and carefully until petrol level display stands almost at "F"=full.
(“E”=empty.)
Fig.1.1
-
Be careful not to admit dust, dirt, water or other foreign objects into fuel.
-
Wipe off spilt fuel thoroughly before starting engine.
-
Re-place fuel tank cap (turn it clockwise) and tighten carefully.
8.3 Check engine oil
Fig.2
Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the generator is put on a stable and level surface with
engine stopped.
-
Remove oil filler cap/bolt and check the engine oil level. Wipe clean the bolt's dipstick with
a lint-free cloth. Re-insert the bolt into the oil filling nozzle without screwing it in, and take
it out again. At least the lower third of the dipstick should be covered with oil. Otherwise it
is necessary to top up
-
Re-fill with suitable oil to upper level line. Use a good, clean engine oil with viscosity
SAE10W-40
-
Change oil if contaminated.
8.4 Air filter
The air filter prevents the entry of dust and dirt particles into the carburettor and the combustion
chamber of the motor.
Never operate the generator without the air filter! This would result in highly increased wear of
the engine!
A dirty air filter results in reduced engine efficiency, so the filter cartridge must be cleaned
regularly.(more often when used in dusty environments.)
