Clarke 8010100 G900 Portable Instructions

To start the Clarke 8010100 G900 Portable Generator, first ensure the fuel valve is turned on. Then, set the choke lever to the closed position. Pull the start cord briskly until the engine starts. Once the engine is running, move the choke lever to the open position.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and ensuring there is no fuel leakage. It is also recommended to run the generator periodically to keep it in good working condition.
If the generator is not producing electricity, check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary. Make sure all connections are secure and inspect for any damaged wires. Ensure the fuel tank is not empty and that the engine is running smoothly.
To store the generator safely, first drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent engine issues. Clean the generator and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Cover it with a protective cover to shield it from dust and debris.
Check the air filter for dirt and clean or replace it. Inspect the spark plug for wear and clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure the fuel is fresh and the fuel line is not clogged. Adjust the choke if the engine is cold.
It is not recommended to use the generator in wet conditions as it can pose an electric shock hazard. If necessary, use a canopy or tent to shield it from rain while ensuring proper ventilation.
Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or as specified in the manufacturer's manual. Use the recommended oil type for optimal performance.
Turn off the generator and allow it to cool down before refueling. Use a funnel to avoid spills and fill the tank in a well-ventilated area. Do not overfill and wipe any fuel spills immediately.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and clean or replace it. Ensure the choke is set correctly and that the air filter is clean. Verify that the engine switch is in the 'on' position.
Generators should never be used indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area and away from windows and doors.
