Clarke 8877071 IG1200B 1100W Inverter Generator F.A.Q.

What is the proper procedure to start the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B 1100W Inverter Generator?

To start the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B 1100W Inverter Generator, first ensure the generator is on a flat surface. Check the fuel and oil levels, then turn the fuel valve to the 'on' position. Set the choke to 'closed' if the engine is cold, and pull the recoil starter gently until you feel resistance. Then pull it sharply to start the engine. Once started, gradually move the choke to the 'open' position.

What should I do if the generator won't start?

If the generator won't start, check the fuel level to ensure there's enough fuel. Verify that the oil level is correct, as the generator won't start if the oil is low. Ensure the spark plug is connected and in good condition. Also, check the air filter for any clogs or dirt that might be obstructing airflow.

How often should I perform maintenance on the Clarke IG1200B generator?

Routine maintenance should be performed every 50 hours of operation or once a year, whichever comes first. This includes changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, checking the spark plug, and inspecting the fuel system. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the generator.

What type of oil is recommended for the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B generator?

It is recommended to use SAE 10W-30 oil for the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B generator. This type of oil provides adequate lubrication in a wide range of temperatures, ensuring efficient engine operation.

How can I store the generator when not in use for extended periods?

To store the generator, first drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits. Clean the exterior and cover the generator to protect it from dust and moisture. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Removing the spark plug and adding a few drops of oil into the cylinder before replacing it can help prevent corrosion.

What is the maximum load capacity of the Clarke IG1200B generator?

The Clarke IG1200B generator has a maximum load capacity of 1100 watts. It's important not to exceed this limit to avoid overloading the generator, which could cause damage or decrease the lifespan of the unit.

Can I connect sensitive electronics to the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B generator?

Yes, the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B is an inverter generator, which means it produces a stable and clean power output suitable for sensitive electronics like laptops, smartphones, and other devices.

What should I do if the generator is producing low power output?

If the generator is producing low power output, check the load to ensure it does not exceed the generator's capacity. Inspect the air filter and spark plug for any dirt or damage. Also, verify that fuel and oil levels are adequate and that the fuel is fresh.

How can I reduce the noise level of the Clarke IG1200B generator during operation?

To reduce noise, place the generator on a soft surface such as grass or a rubber mat. Ensure it's positioned away from windows or doors. Using a sound-dampening enclosure or installing a muffler can also help minimize noise levels.

What safety precautions should I take when operating the Clarke 8877071 IG1200B generator?

Always operate the generator in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Keep it away from flammable materials and never refuel while the engine is running. Use the correct power cords and avoid overloading the generator. Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of wear or damage.
