4. Kukhazikitsa
Before first use, or after extended storage, perform the following setup steps.
4.1 Kuwonjezera Mafuta a Injini
The generator is shipped without engine oil. It is crucial to add the correct type and amount of oil before starting the engine.
- Ikani jenereta pamtunda wofanana.
- Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick (refer to your specific model diagram if available).
- Chotsani kapu yodzaza mafuta / dipstick.
- Carefully pour the recommended engine oil (see Figure 4.1 for oil type recommendations based on temperature) into the oil fill opening until it reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick. The oil capacity is 0.25 liters.
- Replace the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.

Figure 4.1: Engine Oil Recommendations
This chart provides engine oil recommendations based on ambient temperature. For gasoline engines, suitable oil types include 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, SAE 30, and SAE 40, with specific temperature ranges for each. Always use a high-quality 4-stroke engine oil.
4.2 Kuwonjezera Mafuta
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. The fuel tank capacity is 2.1 liters.
- Ensure the generator is turned OFF and the engine is cool.
- Sungitsani jeneretayo kupita kumalo opumira mpweya wabwino panja kuti ikathire mafuta.
- Chotsani kapu ya tanki yamafuta.
- Slowly add gasoline to the fuel tank, being careful not to overfill. Do not fill above the red indicator line inside the tank.
- Sinthani chivundikiro cha thanki yamafuta mosamala. Pukutani mafuta onse omwe atayika nthawi yomweyo.
4.3 Grounding the Generator
Kuyika pansi koyenera ndikofunikira pachitetezo.
- Connect a heavy-gauge copper wire (not included) to the generator's ground terminal.
- Connect the other end of the wire to a suitable ground source, such as a metal ground rod driven into the earth.
5. Malangizo Ogwiritsira Ntchito
Follow these steps to start and operate your generator safely.
5.1 Kuyambitsa Injini
- Ensure the generator is on a level surface and properly grounded.
- Onani kuchuluka kwa mafuta ndi mafuta.
- Sinthani chosinthira injini kukhala "ON".
- Ngati injini ili yozizira, sunthani chokochokocho pamalo a "CHOKE".
- Firmly grasp the recoil starter handle and pull it slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
- Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever back to the "RUN" position.
5.2 Kulumikiza Zida Zamagetsi
Once the engine is running, you can connect your devices.
- Ensure the generator's output switch (if present) is in the "ON" position.
- Plug your devices into the appropriate outlets (230V AC, 12V DC, or USB).
- Do not exceed the generator's rated power output (800W peak, 700W continuous). Overloading will trigger the overload protection and shut down power output. If this happens, reduce the load and press the OUTPUT RESET button.
5.3 Using ECO Mode
The ECO mode reduces engine speed when the electrical load is low, saving fuel and reducing noise.
- To activate ECO mode, switch the ECO switch to "ON". The engine speed will adjust automatically based on the load.
- For maximum power or when starting high-load devices, switch ECO mode to "OFF".
5.4 Kuyimitsa Injini
- Disconnect all electrical devices from the generator.
- Sinthani chosinthira injini kukhala "ZOZIMA".
6. Kusamalira
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your generator. Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance.
