Before first use, the engine must be filled with the provided 10W-30 engine oil. Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick and the oil drain tube. Use the included oil funnel to carefully add the engine oil until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
2.3 Te taapiri wahie
Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane). Do not use E15 or E85 fuel. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling.
2.4 Placement and Safety
Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from occupied buildings, and with the engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Never operate the generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces. The CO Shield technology will automatically shut off the engine if unsafe levels of carbon monoxide accumulate.

3.4 Calculating Wattage
To ensure you do not overload the generator, calculate the total running watts of all items to be powered. Then, add the highest single starting watt of any appliance to the total running watts to determine the total starting watts required.

4. Tiaki
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Always refer to the full operator's manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions before performing any maintenance.
4.1 Nga Huringa Hinu
Perform an initial oil change after the first 2 hours of operation to remove any manufacturing debris. Subsequent oil changes should be performed every 50-100 hours of operation, or as recommended in the full manual. Use the oil drain tube and a suitable oil pan for clean draining. Refill with the recommended 10W-30 engine oil.

4.2 Air Filter and Spark Arrestor
Periodically check and clean the air filter and spark arrestor. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance, while a clogged spark arrestor can affect exhaust flow. Refer to your manual for specific cleaning and replacement intervals.
4.3 Rokiroki mo te wa roa
For long-term storage, it is essential to prepare the generator to prevent fuel degradation and engine damage. This typically involves draining the fuel system, adding a fuel stabilizer, and performing an oil change. Consult your operator's manual for detailed storage procedures based on the duration of storage.
5. Te Raru
5.1 CO Shield Auto-Shutoff
The CO Shield technology is a safety feature that automatically shuts off the engine if it detects unsafe elevated levels of carbon monoxide gas. If this occurs, move the generator to a different, well-ventilated outdoor location. Do not attempt to override this safety feature. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation.

5.2 Engine Stalling in Economy Mode
If the engine stalls in Economy Mode with no or very low load, it may be due to the engine running at a very low RPM. This is generally not a concern and the engine should restart normally. If frequent stalling occurs, ensure the fuel is fresh and the generator is not overloaded. For persistent issues, consult the full operator's manual or contact technical support.
