WHY IS THE GENERATOR NOT STARTING?

Check fuel level and re-fuel if required, Check battery is charged and has enough battery acid. If you are still unable to start the generator, contact the Customer Support Team.

WHY ARE MY APPLIANCES NOT GETTING ANY POWER FROM THE GENERATOR?

First check the voltmeter. It should show the voltage to be 230V +/- 10%. Check the load rating of the appliance to make sure it is not rated too high for the generator. If you have more than one appliance connected to the generator, then try un-connecting one of the appliances.
