least 1 m (3 ft) from walls or other
equipment, or the engine may
overheat.
2. Always ensure the generator is on
1M (3ft)
a solid, flat surface.
3. Always ensure the surrounding
area is free from any material that 1M (3ft)
could burn or be damaged by
heat.
4. Never move or tilt the generator whilst it is switched on.
FIRE PREVENTION
1. Always switch the engine OFF
when refuelling.
2. Always refuel in a well ventilated
area.
3. Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
4. Never overfill the tank, fill to the
level specified (See Adding the

4
5. Never start the engine if there is spilled fuel. Any spillage must be wiped
clean and the generator allowed to dry before attempting to start the
engine.
PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

1. Never use the generator in wet
conditions unless it is well protected/
under cover. Under these conditions,
adequate ventilation MUST be provided
2. Never operate the generator with wet
hands
3. Never use water or any other liquids to
clean the generator.
4. Make sure you ground (earth) the
generator.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR GENERATORS

1. Always ensure the applied load does
not exceed the generator rating.
Overloading the generator is
dangerous and could cause serious
damage.
2. Always disconnect the generator when
carrying out any maintenance.
3. Always ensure the generator reaches
operating speed before connecting a
load.
4. Never allow the generator to run out of
fuel when a load is connected.
5. Never transport the generator with fuel
in the tank.
6. Do Not connect to a commercial or
residential power supply; e.g. ring main.
7. Never allow the generator air vents to
become blocked.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Unpack your generator and make sure the following items are present.
1 x Generator 1 x Battery Charging Lead Assembly

1 x Spark Plug Box Spanner 1 x Fuel Mixing Cup (inside fuel tank cap)
1 x Tommy Bar 1 x Instruction Manual
Should there be anything missing or damaged in transit contact your Clarke

dealer immediately.
BEFORE USING THE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT: Generators should ALWAYS be earthed. Make sure you ground

(earth) the generator.
Before using your generator check that:
The generator is in good condition and free from any damage.
The generator is clean and free from fuel or oil spillage.
The generator is correctly positioned for use (See page 4).
The fuel system and connectors are intact and there is no leakage.
NOTE: Always use a funnel to fill the fuel tank so as to avoid accidental
spillage of fuel. If fuel is spilled it must be cleaned up before
attempting to start the engine.
WARNING: ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE FUEL IN THE TANK WHEN USING

THE GENERATOR. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR STOPPING THE ENGINE
SUDDENLY WITH A LOAD CONNECTED COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
EARTH CONNECTOR
Always connect the generator to an
earth point. The earth terminal is
shown on the right.
8
ADDING THE FUEL/OIL MIXTURE
WARNING: FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS.
WARNING: WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING: AFTER REFUELING, MAKE SURE THE FUEL CAP IS TIGHTENED
SECURELY.
The generator requires a 50:1 mixture of fuel and oil. To mix the fuel you will
need a 5L container with a screw-on lid suitable for storing petrol.
1. Pour the required amount of petrol into the container.
Your generator has been designed to use regular unleaded petrol
with an octane rating of 86 or higher.
2. Remove the fuel cap from the
generator.
3. Use the measuring cup attached
to the fuel cap to measure the
required amount of oil.
Add 0.02L of oil to every litre of
fuel.
IMPORTANT: Only use approved two

stroke engine oil, standard engine oil
is not suitable.
Amount of Fuel Add this much Oil

1L 0.02L
2L 0.04L
3L 0.06L
4L 0.08L
Replace the lid on the container holding the petrol/oil mixture and shake the
container to mix the contents.
4. Slowly pour the mixture into the fuel tank (maximum 4.2L)
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
5. Replace the fuel cap securely.
NOTE: The measuring cup MUST be fitted onto the fuel cap when the cap
is replaced, it forms an important part of the fuel system and may
cause damage to the generator if it is not fitted.
9
USING YOUR GENERATOR
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank before using the generator.
STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Remove all connections from the AC sockets.
2. Turn fuel valve to the ON position.
3. Set the choke lever to the I

position (all the way to the left).
4. Set the engine switch to the I
(ON) position.
5. Hold the generator handle firmly

and pull the starting handle lightly
until you start to feel resistance
and then pull up sharply to start
the engine.
NOTE: You may have to do this
more than once.
WARNING: ONCE THE GENERATOR HAS STARTED, RELEASE THE STARTING

HANDLE SLOWLY TO AVOID INJURY/DAMAGE AS IT WHIPS BACK.
10
6. Once the engine has warmed up,
return the choke lever to the run
position (all the way to the right).
