ADVERTÈNCIA: Perill de monòxid de carboni

Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause unconsciousness or DEATH. Operate in well-ventilated, outdoor areas away from open windows or doors. NEVER use in the home or in partly enclosed areas such as garages. Only use OUTSIDE and far from open windows or doors.

Your ERAYAK 4500PDM generator is equipped with a built-in CO detection system. This system automatically shuts down the generator if unsafe levels of carbon monoxide are detected. A CO switch is configured to allow the user to manually turn off depending on the environment. Always ensure proper ventilation and be aware of your surroundings.

Circuit breaker protection for all outlets ensures safe operation and prevents damage from electrical overloads.

5. Configuració

5.1. Afegir oli de motor

Before starting the generator for the first time, you must add engine oil. The ERAYAK 4500PDM requires approximately 20 ounces of 10W-30 engine oil. Locate the oil fill cap, remove it, and carefully pour the oil using the provided oil kettle and funnel. Do not overfill. Ensure the generator is on a level surface during this process.

5.2. Abast de combustible al generador

Your dual-fuel generator can operate on either gasoline or propane.

• Gasolina: Open the fuel cap and carefully pour unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane) into the fuel tank. The tank capacity is 2.25 gallons.
• Propà: Connect a propane tank to the PROPANE GAS Air Inlet using the provided propane connecting pipe and regulator. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
