Clarke 8857854 PG3800ADV 3KVA Dual Voltage Generator F.A.Q.

How do I start the Clarke 8857854 PG3800ADV generator?

To start the generator, first ensure it is on a flat surface. Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position, switch the engine control to 'ON', and then pull the recoil starter firmly.

What type of oil should I use for maintenance?

Use SAE 10W-30 oil for optimal performance and protection in both warm and cold climates.

How often should I change the oil in the PG3800ADV generator?

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first.

What should I do if the generator does not start?

Check the fuel level, ensure the fuel valve is open, verify the choke position, and inspect the spark plug for any fouling.

Can the PG3800ADV generator be used indoors?

No, the generator should not be used indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Always operate it in a well-ventilated area.

How do I switch between voltage settings on the dual voltage generator?

To switch between voltage settings, turn off the generator, select the desired voltage using the voltage selector switch, and then restart the generator.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the air filter?

Inspect the air filter for dirt and debris every 25 hours of operation and clean or replace it as necessary.

How can I prevent my generator from overloading?

Do not exceed the rated power output, and connect only necessary devices. Use a power management plan to stagger device startup if needed.

What should I do if the generator stalls during operation?

Check for fuel supply issues, inspect the air filter, and verify there are no electrical overloads. Restart the generator after addressing the issue.

How do I properly store the generator when not in use for an extended period?

Drain the fuel tank and carburetor, clean the generator, and store it in a dry, cool place. Disconnect the battery if applicable.
