To start the Clarke 8010010 G700 Generator, ensure it is on a flat surface, check the fuel and oil levels, set the choke to the start position, turn the engine switch to the 'On' position, and pull the recoil starter handle firmly. Once the engine is running, move the choke to the run position.
The recommended maintenance schedule for the Clarke G700 Generator includes checking the oil level before each use, changing the oil every 50 hours or every 6 months, cleaning the air filter every 50 hours, and inspecting the spark plug every 100 hours.
If the generator does not start, check the fuel level, ensure the engine switch is on, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, verify the choke is set correctly, and ensure there are no blockages in the air filter.
The Clarke G700 Generator requires SAE 10W-30 oil for general use. Always refer to the user manual for specific recommendations based on your environment and operating conditions.
To prevent overloading, ensure the total wattage of all connected appliances does not exceed the generator's rated output of 700 watts. Use a power management system to distribute load, and always start with higher wattage appliances first.
If the generator runs but does not power appliances, check the circuit breaker on the generator to ensure it hasn't tripped, confirm all connections are secure, and verify that the total load does not exceed the generator's capacity.
To safely shut down the generator, disconnect all appliances, let the generator run for a few minutes to cool down, turn the engine switch to the 'Off' position, and then turn the fuel valve to the 'Off' position.
Black smoke may indicate a dirty air filter, incorrect fuel mixture, or an overloaded engine. Check and clean the air filter and ensure the generator is not overloaded. If the issue persists, refer to a professional technician.
The Clarke G700 Generator should not be used in wet conditions or exposed to rain or water, as it can cause electrical shock or damage to the generator. Always operate the generator in a dry and well-ventilated area.
It is recommended to inspect and clean the spark plug every 100 hours of operation and replace it if necessary to ensure optimal performance. Always use the spark plug type specified in the user manual.
