2. Instruccions de seguretat
Always follow these safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, fire, and property damage.
2.1 Seguretat general
- Llegeix el manual: Ensure you have read and understood all instructions before operating the generator.
- Només per a ús exterior: Operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces, as exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is deadly.
- Seguretat del combustible:
- Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
- Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot. Allow the generator to cool down before refueling.
- Avoid spilling fuel. If spilled, wipe it up immediately and ensure the area is dry before starting the generator.
- Seguretat elèctrica:
- Do not operate the generator in wet conditions or expose it to rain.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and in good condition.
- Do not overload the generator. Refer to the specifications for maximum wattage.
- Feu servir només cables d'extensió i aparells amb connexió a terra.
- Superfícies calentes: El motor i el silenciador del generador s'escalfen molt durant el funcionament i romanen calents durant un temps després de l'apagada. Eviteu el contacte amb superfícies calentes.
- Nens i animals de companyia: Mantingueu els nens i les mascotes allunyats del generador durant el funcionament.
2.2 Protecció contra sobrecàrregues
The generator is equipped with overload protection to prevent damage to the unit and connected devices. If the generator is overloaded, the overload indicator light will illuminate, and power output will cease. Reduce the load by disconnecting some appliances before restarting the generator.
Figure 2: Overload Protection. This image displays a warning symbol indicating overload protection, a key safety feature of the generator.

4. Configuració
Abans del primer ús, seguiu els passos de configuració següents:
- Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura el generador del seu embalatge. Inspeccioneu-lo per detectar qualsevol dany durant l'enviament.
- Afegeix oli de motor:
- Localitzeu el tap/vareta d'ompliment d'oli.
- Add the recommended type and amount of engine oil (refer to specifications for oil type and capacity). Do not overfill.
- The oil warning indicator will prevent starting if the oil level is too low.
- Afegeix combustible:
- Assegureu-vos que el generador estigui apagat i fred.
- Open the fuel cap and carefully fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill.
- Tanqueu bé la tapa del dipòsit de combustible.
- Posicionament: Place the generator on a firm, level surface outdoors, away from windows, doors, and vents to prevent exhaust fumes from entering enclosed areas. Ensure adequate clearance around the generator for ventilation.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Arrencada del generador
- Assegureu-vos que el generador estigui sobre una superfície plana i que totes les connexions estiguin ben fixades.
- Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position (if applicable).
- Move the Run/Off/Choke switch to the "CHOKE" position (for cold starts).
- Estireu la maneta de l'arrencador de retrocés amb fermesa i suavitat fins que el motor arrenqui.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the Run/Off/Choke switch to the "RUN" position.
Figure 7: Easy Starting. This image shows a hand pulling the recoil starter cord, demonstrating the simple starting mechanism.
5.2 Connexió d'aparells
- Deixeu que el generador s'escalfi durant uns minuts abans de connectar els aparells.
- Plug in your devices to the appropriate AC or DC outlets.
- No supereu la potència nominal del generadortage (3200W continuous, 3500W peak). Overloading can damage the generator and connected devices.
5.3 Funcionament en mode ECO
The ECO mode switch allows the generator to automatically adjust engine speed to match the load, reducing fuel consumption and noise levels when less power is required. For maximum power output, ensure ECO mode is switched off.
Figure 8: Application Examples. These images illustrate various uses for the generator, including powering equipment for camping, garden houses, events, construction sites, heating systems, refrigerators, laptops, and mobile phones.
5.4 Aturar el generador
- Disconnect all connected appliances.
- Deixeu que el generador funcioni durant uns minuts sense càrrega perquè es refredi.
- Move the Run/Off/Choke switch to the "OFF" position.
- Gireu la vàlvula de combustible a la posició "OFF".
6. Manteniment
Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el funcionament fiable del vostre generador.
6.1 Comprovació i canvi d'oli del motor
