To start the Subaru SGX75 Generator, first ensure that the generator is on a flat surface and the fuel valve is open. Turn the engine switch to the "ON" position, then pull the recoil starter handle gently until you feel resistance, and then pull it briskly.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for general use. However, if you operate the generator in extreme temperatures, refer to the owner's manual for more specific recommendations. Always check the oil level before use.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. This includes changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, and checking the spark plug.
If the generator won't start, check the fuel level and make sure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and ensure that the choke is in the correct position. Also, verify that the oil level is adequate.
If the generator runs rough, check the air filter for dirt or obstructions and clean or replace it as needed. Ensure the fuel is fresh and that the spark plug is in good condition.
For safe storage, drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor. Clean the generator and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Consider adding a fuel stabilizer if storing for an extended period.
To change the oil, run the generator for a few minutes to warm it up, which helps the oil drain out smoothly. Turn off the engine, remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill with fresh oil.
To check and clean the air filter, remove the cover and inspect the filter. If it's dirty, clean it with soapy water and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear or damage.
Yes, you can use an extension cord, but ensure it is rated for outdoor use and can handle the electrical load required by the devices you intend to power.
In the event of a power overload, turn off the generator and disconnect all appliances. Restart the generator and reconnect appliances one at a time, starting with the largest loads.
