Earthing the Generator
• It is strongly recommended that this generator is earthed. The generator
MUST be earthed when using devices that require an earth connection
in their plug
• To earth the generator, connect a 10 mm
generator's Earth Point (9) and to an earthing rod of galvanised steel, set
in the ground to a depth of 1 metre
Operating the Generator
1. Always start and allow the generator to warm up for a minimum
of 5 minutes before using the AC outputs. This will improve fuel
efficiency and reduce wear, increasing the service life of your
product
2. Ensure the AC Switch (5) is set to OFF
3. Plug your powered device into the correct Socket (6 or 8)
4. Move the Output Switch (7) towards the chosen Socket
5. Move the AC Switch (5) to ON
6. Observe the Voltmeter (4) to check the output voltage is correct for
the device attached
7. When the connected device is switched on, it is normal for the
generator engine to change speed

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Only clean when Generator has fully cooled down
• Use a mild soapy solution and a stiff brush
• Rinse with clean water
• Dry as thoroughly as possible – parts of this product will corrode if
left wet
• Only carry out maintenance when the Generator has fully cooled down
• Maintenance should be adjusted according to use and environment.
Generally, the more use and/or the harsher the environment, the more
frequent the maintenance
Cleaning the air filter element
1. Remove the two screws at the top and bottom of the Air Filter Cover
(10) and gently pull the cover off
2. Remove Air Filter (11), noting which way around it faces
3. Wash the air filter in a suitable fluid (available from most garden
machinery retailers)
4. Replace the air filter by reversing this procedure
Replacing and adjusting the spark plug
1. Pull the ignition lead off the Spark Plug (16) Fig. C
2. Unscrew the Spark Plug (16) using the socket supplied
3. Adjust the gap (see specification) using a feeler gauge. Clean using
a wire brush OR replace using a recommended spark plug (see
specification)
4. Replace spark plug and tighten firmly with the socket and bar NOTE:
be careful not to cross or overtighten the threads
5. Refit ignition lead
Changing the engine oil
1. Start and run the engine for around 2 minutes to warm the oil, then
switch off
2. Place the generator above a large oil draining bowl (Silverline tools
recommend product 675089) Make sure the Drain Plug (26) is above
the centre of the bowl
3. Using a 10mm socket and long extension, undo (anticlockwise) the
Drain Plug (26)
4. Allow the oil to drain fully for a minimum of 10 minutes
5. Tip the generator a little to get all of the waste oil out
6. Replace the Drain Plug (26) and tighten firmly with a ratchet
7. To replace the oil, see Preparing the Generator
8. Contact your local waste facility for advice about disposal of waste
engine oil

Storage
• B e careful not to hit or cut the fuel tank, or fuel lines, when the unit is
placed on the ground
• Do not let the tool fall, or it may be damaged and become unsafe
• When you finish working, clean the unit thoroughly
• I nspect the entire unit and tubes for damage, including loose or missing
components
• Store the unit away from direct sunlight
• D o not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the formation of
mould
• U se a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit and keep the air
vents free from obstructions. Do not use water or a hose to clean the
unit
• E nsure that fuel and oil is stored in a safe place, away from heat, direct
sunlight, any source of ignition, and out of reach of children
Storage for an extended period:
Whenever the machine is out of use for an extended period of time,
proceed as follows:
• Give the unit an overall cleaning and a thorough check
• E mpty the fuel tank completely, then clean the carburettor and lines by
running the tool until it stops from lack of fuel
• Protect all metal engine parts from corrosion by coating them with oil
• R emove the spark plug, put several drops of oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and then pull the recoil starter 2 to 3 times in order
to distribute the oil evenly. Replace the spark plug and spark plug lead
• Clean the air filter as described in the air filter section
Troubleshooting
Power loss or sudden engine cut-out
• Check whether the fuel tank is empty
• C heck if there is water in the mixture. Drain and rinse the fuel system
with petrol
• Check if the air filter is dirty. Clean the air filter
Starting a flooded engine
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead and use a spark plug wrench to
remove the spark plug by turning it anticlockwise
2. If the spark plug is fouled or is soaked with fuel, clean or replace the
plug as required
3. Clean excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the
engine several times while the spark plug is removed
4. Install the spark plug and firmly tighten it with the spark plug wrench
5. Repeat the starting procedure as if the engine was already warm
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of tools
