Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the unit on a flat, level, and dry surface at least 3 meters away from buildings or tents to ensure proper ventilation. Add high-quality 4-stroke engine oil before the first start.
Compatibility: The unit is compatible with 230V devices. Ensure the total wattage of connected appliances does not exceed the continuous power output of 3200W.
Maintenance: Check oil levels before every use. Replace the air filter every 50-100 hours of operation depending on environmental dust conditions.
