FAQs

Is this generator safe for computers?

Yes, as an inverter generator, the MXR5500 produces clean sine wave electricity which is safe for sensitive electronics.

How often should I change the oil?

It is recommended to change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and every 100 hours thereafter.

Can I use this indoors?

No. Never operate any petrol-powered generator inside a house, garage, or enclosed space due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

What is the fuel capacity?

The MXR5500 is equipped with a 13.5-litre fuel tank.

Does the remote start require a specific range?

The remote start functions effectively within typical line-of-sight distances, generally up to 10-20 metres.

Can I parallel this with another generator?

Parallel capability depends on specific unit revisions; please consult your manual or control panel for parallel ports before attempting.

Troubleshooting

Generator fails to start

Check the fuel level, ensure the engine switch is in the 'ON' position, and confirm the battery charge for electric start models.

Engine runs but no power output

Verify that the circuit breaker is not tripped and ensure the power cables are securely connected to the output sockets.

Generator is running louder than usual

Check for loose covers or panels and ensure the unit is on a level, hard surface to prevent vibration noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the MXR5500, first check the oil level and ensure the unit is filled with fresh, high-quality unleaded petrol. When first starting the generator, follow the specific sequence for the electric or remote start to ensure the battery is engaged properly. Regarding compatibility, ensure the total wattage of all connected devices does not exceed the 5,000W running limit to prevent overloading. Maintenance is critical for longevity; perform the first oil change after the initial break-in period, and check the air filter after every 50 hours of use. If the unit is being stored for more than 30 days, drain the carburetor and fuel tank to prevent fuel degradation and blockage.
