A quick guide for assembling and starting your machine

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

1. Place the carton on a firm flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator.
3. Open the carton by carefully cutting the carton down each corner, being careful not to cut the machine. 4. Leave the generator on the carton while you install the wheel kit.
N.B. The HY2800L-2/HY3800L-2 versions DO NOT come with wheel kits. 2.2.

Packing contents

1. Owner’s manual – quantity 1
2. Wheels – quantity 2.
3. Handle assembly – quantity 1
4. Wheel axle – quantity 2.
5. Hardware bag comprising of; Spark plug socket – quantity 1, Socket bar – quantity 1.

N.B. The above packaging contents in this manual are for reference only and do not represent for any specific model.

The generator requires some assembly prior to first use.
The wheels are designed to give improved the portability.

To install the wheels. Slide the axle (2) through the wheel (1) from the outside then pass the axle through the flat washer (3) and through the frame. Once axle is passed through the frame put the ‘P’ clip (4) through the axle hole. 2.3.4. To fit the rubber feet. 2.3.4.1. Pass the bolt (9) through the rubber pad (8) and support (7). 2.3.4.2. Pass the end of the M8 bolt (9) through the frame and secure it in place with the M8 nut (6).

Starting the Unit

PREPARATION BEFORE USE The machine is shipped without oil - You MUST add oil before using this machine. 4.1. Oil type – SAE15W40.

Adding oil
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil filler and remove oil cap and dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Slowly fill the engine with oil through the oil filler until it reaches the upper thread of the filler hole or to the full mark on the dipstick.
4. Stop filling occasionally to check oil level. DO NOT over fill.
5. Refit the oil filler cap and make sure the cap is tightened.
6. You MUST check engine oil level before starting every session.
Fuel type Unleaded Petrol. 





IMPORTANT: To prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburettor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol), ethanol or methanol can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system. Fuel should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. See the “Storage” section. NEVER use engine or carburettor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.


Grounding (Earthing) the generator.

1. The Requirement for Electrical Installations BS 7971:2008 requires that the frame and external electrically conductive part of this generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground.
2. Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electric shock in the event of ground fault condition in the generator or in connected electrical devices.
3. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

Floating earth portable generator use. This range of generators adopt a floating earth configuration which means that the Neutral of the alternator is not connected to the Earth of the machine.
It is therefore IMPORTANT that you ONLY use the generator to supply equipment in the following combinations.
One or more of CLASS II equipment. Only ONE item of Class I equipment. One or more of CLASS II equipment and only ONE item of Class I equipment.
CLASS I equipment has a GREEN/YELLOW earth wire connected inside the plug.
CLASS II equipment DOES NOT have GREEN/YELLOW earth wire connected inside the plug.
CLASS II equipment will have the following symbol embossed or printed on the casing.

Starting the Machine 

Firstly NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged into the power outlets and devices turned on. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit’s power outlets, or make sure that the main breaker is OFF (down) position, before starting the engine.

1. Starting the engine – Recoil start. On HY2800L-2/HY3800L-2 models press the engine switch (2 position switch) to ON position, on HY3800LEK-2, HY7000LEK-2, HY9000LEK-2 & HY10000LEK-2 models press the engine switch (3 position switch) to ON then to START position.
Turn the fuel tap to the ON position.
Move the engine choke lever to the START position. 



Turn the fuel tap to the ON position.


Move the engine choke lever to the START position.


For recoil start, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until increased resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly up and away. When the engine starts, move choke lever to the ½ - choke position till engine runs smoothly and then to RUN position. If engine falters, move the choke lever back to ½ - choke position until engine runs smoothly and then fully RUN position again.


Connecting Appliances/Accessories 

Connect all electrical loads in the OFF position then turn ON for operation. Turn all electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator. Exceeding generators wattage/current capacity could damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage/current capacity.
Failure to disconnect the electrical load before switching the generator OFF may damage the AVR. 

Overloading

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices.

Observe the following to prevent overloading of the unit;
1. Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator’s wattage capacity.
2. The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data label or decal affixed to the devices. If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts × amps = watts).
3. Some electrical induction motors, require about three times more power for starting than for running. This surge of power only lasts a few seconds when starting. You MUST make sure you allow for high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator;
4. Calculate the watts needed to start the largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads. Start the largest motor first and only one motor at a time.

Stopping the Machine 

1. Switch off all loads then unplug them from the generator outlet sockets. NEVER start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. Switch the main breaker down (OFF).
2. Let the engine run with no-load for several minutes to stabilise the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move the engine switch to the OFF position
4. Close the fuel valve.

Low oil level system shutdown
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough petrol, check the engine oil level. Engine oil level should be checked daily.
