Product Q&A

• I can see that with an auto-start generator, an “AMF Panel” is required for mains power backup, and for solar back up a “2 wire auto start controller” is needed. But if I'm on solar and mains, do I need both to go with my auto-start generator?

  Hi, firstly you are completely correct; to use your auto-start generator for automatic power backup, you need either:

  • An AMF panel for automatic backup to mains power, or
  • A Two-wire auto start controller for automatic backup to off-grid solar systems

  For homes on solar and on mains power:
  In this case, the solar charge is either used within the household consumption or fed back into the grid, meaning there are no storage batteries like there is for an off-grid solar system. So,if you require an auto-start generator to automatically start up to restore power to your home (which is on solar and mains power), you would need an accompanying AMF panel - an electrician would undertake the connection. When a blackout occurs, the AMF panel would signal for the generator to start and restore power to your home.

  For homes with an off-grid solar system:
  The Two-Wire auto start controller is only for off-grid solar systems, whereby the controller is connected to generator and the solar battery system. When the batteries run low on power, the controller signals to the generator to start up and restore power to the batteries.

• Do I still need to maintain the generator even if it hasn't been required for back up?

  Howdy - yes you do need to provide some simple maintenance. It is advised that you start up and run the generator periodically to run the engine and ensure that all is working for when it is required for backup.

  Regular oil changes (inline with manufacturer guidelines) and inspections are also advised to ensure maximum performance.  The owner’s manual comprises full routine maintenance procedures and schedules.

• What engine oil should I use with this Generator?

  Hi - the generator requires standard engine oil;  either 10W-30 or 10W-40.

  This is available from any local service station. Many thanks 

• Can I install one of these auto start generators myself? How difficult is it?

  Hi Ron, installation of an auto-start generator to provide backup power for mains failure or backup to solar applications needs to be done by a qualified electrician. It is a failry straighforward job for an electrician.

  Cheers, Steve.

• Can I use this generator to charge my power tool batteries?

  Hi there,

  Charging battery packs is fine from a conventional generator, we'd recommend having a steady load on the generator and don't connect appliances that will cause the load to jump around during charging.

  Thanks.
