The range of Adventure Kings 240V generators are designed to offer easy to use, high efficiency power without breaking your beer budget.

To enhance both your camping setup, and as a backup power source at home, an Adventure Kings 3.5KVA Open Generator has plenty of pure sine wave power for whatever you need to keep powered.

The Pure sine wave is perfect for running even sensitive electronics and with the large capacity fuel tank and high efficiency “eco mode” you will get more ‘bang for buck’!

USING YOUR NEW ADVENTURE KINGS GENERATOR

 1) CHECK FUEL LEVELS

The first step is to make sure there is enough fuel in the tank, by using the in-built fuel gauge it gives a good indication of how much fuel is left, and approximately how long you have left until you have left until you need to refill!

If your fuel level is low, you can refill the 13 litre fuel tank with regular unleaded automotive fuel (DO NOT use ethanol or high-octane fuels) ensuring you fill the generator using the fuel filter screen and taking precautions not to overfill to allow fuel room to expand.

2) CHECK ENGINE OIL

• There aren’t many motors out there that like to run without engine oil, and the Adventure Kings 3.5KVA Open Generator is no different, to check the oil level and make sure there is enough for safe and hassle free operation, you will need to remove the oil filler cap and check the engine oil level on the integrated dipstick, ensuring the engine oil is at the upper line level on the oil level gauge.
• If it is running low, you should add enough engine oil as necessary to bring the oil level back up to the “high level” when topping up oil, do not screw in the oil filler cap when checking oil level as this will give you and artificially high reading.Over time you may have to change out the engine oil if contaminated, with approximately 450mL of SAE10 W30 rated oil until it is visible at the upper level of oil dip stick!

3) STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Ensure any electrical accessories are disconnected from the sockets in the generator front panel
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to the “ON” position.
3. Turn the engine power switch to the “ON” position.
4. Turn the Economy Switch to the “OFF” position.
5. Pull the choke knob out until it is fully extended. This is not necessary if the engine is already warm.
6. Pull the starter cord out slowly until resistance is felt. This “Compression” point sets the engine up to start easily. Release all tension on the cord to respool and pull the cord quickly and smoothly to start the motor ensuring your arm/elbow is clear and not going to hit anyone or anything.
7. After starting the motor, release tension on the starter cord allowing it to retract back onto its spool.
8. Allow the engine to warm up without a load for a minute or two with normal operation.
9. Push the choke knob back in to allow generator to enable smoother running.

4) USING AC POWER

1. Check the AC LED indicator to make sure the inverter is producing proper voltage.
2. Ensure your device/appliance is switched off, if possible before connecting it to the generator.
3. The economy control switch must be turned to “OFF” when using electric devices that require a large starting current.
4. Connect the plug of the electrical appliance to your generator

5) USING DC POWER

1. Switch Economy mode to OFF!
2. Connect the DC output socket and the battery terminals using the supplied charging leads. The leads should be connected making sure red goes to the positive terminal on the battery (+) and the black goes to the negative terminal (-)
3. Once you have connected the terminals to the battery, reset the DC circuit protector to “LIVE” if the red button switch is found in the “OFF” position.
