SMART-THROTTLE (ECO-MODE)

The smart-throttle switch is ON.

  1. ON, economic control mode adjusts the engine speed based on the linked load to reduce fuel consumption and noise.
  2. OFF – Smart-throttle switch OFF – No matter what, the engine will run at 5000rpm, no matter what the load

The smart-throttle switch must be OFF when used in substantial electric devices such as air conditioners, air compressors, and a DC submersible pump.

DC GUARD

The DC protector goes off when DC load rated output of – or reversible +/- connector.

OIL ALARM (YELLOW)

If the engine oil level goes below low, an oil warning will sound, and the engine will shut off (Refill – Otherwise, the engine won’t start).

 KNOB FUEL TANK VENT

A vent in the gasoline tank top balances inner and outside fuel flow from tank pressure. The vent knob is OFF or ON to allow fuel into the carburettor to start the generator. Whether On or off, turn the vent knob counter from ON to OFF to avoid petrol vapour or overflow. 

OPERATING CHECK

OIL

Place the generator in a flat area to check the oil level. And the oil filter hole should be level with oil. 

FUEL

Open the petrol cap and add unleaded fuel inside the fuel pouring screen. The unleaded petrol should be at or above #93 octane. 

TERMINAL BOLT/NUT

Ensure the earth terminal of the generator is attached to stop potential electric shock. The cromtech 2400w inverter generator should be earthed, where an electrical device is used.

THE GENERATOR DOES NOT HAVE AN OUTPUT

For a generator with a reset function, disconnect all electrical devices, reduce the total wattage of all electrical appliances connected to the generator within the application range, and push the reset button.

STORAGE of your Cromtech 2400w Inverter Generator

Follow these precautions to protect your machine against deterioration when placed away for storage for an extended period.

DISCONTINUE THE FUEL

  1. Remove the cap from the petrol tank. Using a hand syphon, drain the petrol from the fuel tank into an appropriate petrol container. Hand syphons are readily available on the market. After that, secure the fuel tank cap.
  2. Remove the carburettor drain cover, remove the drain screw on the carburettor float chamber, and drain the fuel into a petrol container that the manufacturer has approved.
  3. Install the carburettor drain cover after tightening the carburettor drain screw.
  4. Allow it to run, start the engine, and come to a complete halt (As it has used all remaining fuel in the carburettor).

Cromtech 2400w Inverter GeneratorPRESERVE THE ENGINE’S PERFORMANCE

Please follow the instructions below to protect the engine, the interior of the cylinder, the piston rings, and other components:

  1. Remove the spark plug and fill the spark plug hole with around 5ml SAE10W30 or 20W40 engine oil. Replace the spark plug and repeat the process. Make numerous pulls on the recoil starter, so that engine oil achieves distribution throughout the cylinder wall, piston rings, and other components.
  2. When you sense compression, stop pulling the recoil starter (this prevents rust in the cylinder and valves).

Cleaning THE GENERATOR

  1. Thoroughly clean the exterior of the generator. 
  2. Only moist towels should be used ( with a bit of detergent) – over wetting should be avoided.
  3. Cover the generator with a clean cloth and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from children and pets.
  4. When being stored, transported, and operated. Generators should be upright to help avoid leaks.

TRANSPORT

When transferring the generator, remember to: 

  1. Overfilling the tanks should be avoided (there should be no fuel in the filler neck); and 
  2. Do not overload the trailer.
  3. Never operate a generator when it is attached to a vehicle. It is necessary to run the generator in a well-ventilated location.
  4. Avoid installing the generator on a vehicle in areas that may expose it to direct sunlight. After being left in an enclosed vehicle for an extended period, the high temperatures inside the vehicle could cause the gasoline to evaporate, resulting in a possible explosion if the generator is not moved.
  5. Using a generator while driving on a rough road for a long time is not a good idea. If you have to transport the generator on a bumpy road, drain the fuel from the generator before you start the vehicle.
  6. Make sure that the Vent knob is in the OFF position.
