01. Can I use the generator indoors?

No, the generator must only be operated outdoors and far from enclosed spaces to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Always ensure proper ventilation.

02. How do I start the generator?

Ensure the generator is grounded, check oil and fuel levels, and unplug all devices. Turn the fuel switch to “RUN,” press the battery switch “ON,” and start the generator using the start button or remote start feature.

03. What is the generator’s wattage capacity?

The MaxWatt MX6000IS provides a peak wattage of 6000W and a running wattage of 5500W, sufficient to power multiple devices and appliances simultaneously.

04. How do I prevent overloading the generator?

Add electrical loads sequentially, starting with the highest wattage device. Allow the engine to stabilize before connecting additional devices to prevent overload.

05. What maintenance does the generator require?

Regularly check the oil level, clean the air filter, and inspect the spark plug. Perform oil changes every 50 hours or three months for optimal performance.

06. What type of fuel and oil should I use?

Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 87 and avoid ethanol blends exceeding 10%. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil is recommended for best performance.

07. Can I connect the generator to my home’s electrical system?

Yes, but it must be connected using a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician to comply with safety regulations and prevent hazardous back-feed.

08. How far should the generator be placed from structures?

Ensure the generator is at least 1.5 meters away from buildings or other structures during operation to minimize fire risks and allow proper ventilation.

09. What safety precautions should I take while refueling?

Turn off the generator, let it cool for two minutes, and ensure no fuel spills during refueling. Avoid refueling near heat sources or open flames.

10. How do I drain the fuel for storage?

Turn the fuel switch to “OFF” and use the carburetor drain tube to remove all remaining petrol. Use an approved container for safe disposal. Draining fuel prevents clogs and ensures easier starts after storage.

11. What does the low-oil sensor do?

The low-oil sensor prevents the generator from starting if the oil level is insufficient, protecting the engine from potential damage.

12. How does the low idle mode work?

The low idle mode adjusts engine speed to match the load, reducing fuel consumption and noise while extending the engine’s lifespan.

13. How can I extend the generator’s lifespan?

Run the generator for 20-30 minutes each month, drain fuel before long-term storage, and store it in a dry, cool environment.

14. What are the recommended storage procedures?

Disconnect the battery, drain fuel, and run the generator for 30 minutes monthly. Avoid storing fuel in the tank for over two months.

15. What should I do if the generator won’t start?

Check oil and fuel levels, inspect the spark plug, and ensure the battery is charged. Refer to the troubleshooting guide for additional steps if needed.
