completely.
7.1.8. After starting the generator allow the starter
handle to return to its original position whilst still
holding on to the handle.
7.2. USING ELECTRIC POWER:
WARNING:
Make sure that the appliance is switched OFF
before connecting it to the generator.
Do not move the generator while it is running.
7.3. STOPPING THE GENERATOR:
7.3.1. Turn off the power switch of the electric
equipment and unplug the cord from the receptacle
of the generator.
7.3.2. Turn the switch to the "OFF" position. Fig 6
7.3.3. Close the fuel valve. Fig 7
8. WATTAGE INFORMATION:
8.1. Some appliances need a "surge" of energy
when starting. This is commonly known as a "LAG-
GING" Load.
8.2. This means that the amount of electrical
power needed to start the appliance may exceed
the amount needed to maintain its use.
8.3. Electrical appliances and tools normally come
with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amper-
age (amps) and electrical power needed to run the
appliance or tool.
8.4. Check with your nearest branch with questions
regarding power surges of certain appliances or
power tools.
8.5. Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps
and hot plates require the same wattage to start as
is needed to maintain their use. This is commonly
known as a "LEADING" Load
8.6. Loads such as fluorescent lamps that makes
use of starters require1.5 to 2 times the indicated
wattage during start-up.
8.7. Electrical motors require a large starting
current. Power requirements depend on the type
of motor and its use. Once enough "power" is at-
tained to start the motor, the appliance will require
only +-50% of the wattage in order to continue
running.
8.8. Most electrical tools require 1.5 to 3 times their
wattage for running under load during use. Loads
such as submersible pumps and air compressors
require a very large force to start. They need 3 to 5
times the normal running wattage in order to start.
9. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE, MAINTENANCE
AND WARRANTY QUERIES PLEASE CONTACT
CREATIVE HOUSEWARES. PLEASE REFER TO
THE BACK PAGE FOR CONTACT DETAILS.
9.1. DAILY INSPECTION:
Before staring the generator please check the fol-
lowing service items:
9.9.1. Check if there is enough fuel
9.9.2. Excessive vibration, noise
9.9.3. Loose or broken bolts
9.9.4. Fuel leakage
9.9.5. Safe surroundings
9.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE:
Periodic maintenance is vital for the safe and ef-
ficient operation of the generator. Check the table
below for periodic maintenance intervals.
IT IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR THE USER
OF THIS GENERATOR TO CONDUCT THE
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS ON THE
EMISSION-RELATED PARTS LISTED BELOW
TO KEEP THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
EFFECTIVE.
The emission control system consists of the follow-
ing parts:
(1) Carburettor and internal parts
(2) Cold start enrichment system, (if applicable)
(3) Intake manifold, (if applicable)
(4) Air cleaner elements
(5) Spark plug
(6) Magneto or electronic ignition system (if ap-
plicable)
(7) Spark advance/retard system, (if applicable)
(8) Exhaust manifold, (if applicable)
(9) Hoses, belts, connectors and assemblies
The maintenance schedule indicated in the table
is based on normal generator operation. Should
the generator be operated in extremely dusty
conditions or in heavier loading conditions, the
maintenance intervals must be shortened. This will
dependent on the contamination of oil, clogging of
filter elements and the wear and tear of parts.
9.2.1. Periodic Maintenance Table
10. "HOW – TO" MAINTENANCE
10.1. CLEANING AIR FILTER:
CAUTION
Do not wash the elements with kerosene, petrol
or oil.
A dirty air filter element will make the starting of the
generator difficult. It will also cause the generator
to under- perform and may cause permanent dam-
age. Always keep the air filter element clean.
