Unboxing and Assembly

Upon unboxing the JBC-G3600P Generator, you’ll find the following components:

 

  • The generator itself
  • Two wheels and axles
  • Two feet with captivated nuts
  • Bag of nuts, bolts, and washers
  • Funnel and pipe for filling engine oil
  • Spark plug spanner with a T-bar
  • User manual

 

Assembly Process

  • Install the Feet: Attach the two feet to the generator’s frame using the provided bolts and nuts. Tighten securely with a 10mm socket or spanner.
  • Fit the Wheels: Slide the axles through the wheels and frame, then secure with washers and R-clips.
  • Check the Handle: In most cases, the handle is pre-installed.
  • Prepare Tools: Ensure you have a 10mm spanner or socket for assembly. The included spark plug spanner is handy for maintenance tasks.

Pre-Startup Preparation

Filling Engine Oil

  • Proper lubrication is essential. Use 600ml SAE30, 15W-40, or 10W-30 engine oil:
  • Locate the dipstick below the control panel.
  • Use the provided funnel to fill oil gradually, ensuring it reaches just below the fill point.
  • Check the level with the dipstick.

Adding Fuel

The JCB-G3600P has a 15L fuel tank suitable for fresh unleaded petrol. Fill it in a well-ventilated area and ensure the fuel level doesn’t exceed the red ring in the tank’s strainer.

Operating the Generator

Starting the Generator

  • Check Fuel and Oil Levels: Ensure both are adequately filled.
  • Turn On Fuel Tap: Move to the vertical position.
  • Set Choke: Push the lever to the left for a cold start.
  • Power Switch: Turn the on/off switch to “On.”
  • Pull Recoil Starter: Pull firmly to start the engine.
  • Adjust Choke: Once the engine runs smoothly, move the choke lever to the right.

Control Panel Features

  • Main Circuit Breaker: Ensure this is off when starting and stopping the generator to avoid damage to the AVR.
  • Display Panel: Monitor voltage, frequency (50Hz), and runtime.
  • Sockets: Includes 16A 230V and 115V outlets, protected by individual circuit breakers.
  • DC Socket: Useful for charging batteries or powering devices with suitable adapters

Tips to maintain your generator

  • Regular Maintenance: Clean the air filter and check the spark plug periodically.
  • Avoid Overloading: Keep the load within the generator’s rated capacity.
  • Store Properly: Turn off the fuel tap and drain the carburetor if storing for extended periods.
