- Voltmeter: Integrated for monitoring voltage kubuda.
- Oil Alert Lamp: Warns of low oil levels to protect the engine from dry running.
- Overload Protection: Ensures device safety by preventing excessive load.
- Output Sockets: Includes 2 x 230V AC, 1 x 400V AC, and 1 x 12V DC connections.

This graphic illustrates key features: a 12V battery icon representing the 12V connection, icons for 2x 230V and 1x 400V sockets, an oil can icon for the oil warning system, and a hammer striking an anvil symbolizing the product's robustness.

This graphic highlights additional features: a warning triangle with a lightning bolt for overload protection, a fuel pump icon for fuel efficiency, a bicep icon representing power, and a circular icon indicating electric start capability.
3.3. AVR Technology
The integrated Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) technology minimizes voltage fluctuations, ensuring a constant and stable power output. This protects sensitive electronic devices from potential damage due to unstable voltage.

A graph comparing voltage fluctuations. The green waveform, labeled 'SG5200D', shows minimal fluctuations, indicating stable power output due to AVR technology. The red waveform, labeled 'conventional manufacturers', shows significant fluctuations, demonstrating the benefit of AVR in minimizing voltage variations for consistent performance.
3.4. Copper Winding
The generator features copper windings in its coils, which contribute to a longer lifespan and improved electrical conductivity, enhancing overall performance and durability.

4.3. Kuwedzera Engine Oil
- Isa jenareta padanho repamusoro.
- Locate the oil filler cap/dipstick.
- Remove the cap and slowly add the recommended engine oil (refer to specifications for oil type and capacity) until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
- Securely replace the oil filler cap.
4.4. Adding Diesel Fuel
- Iva nechokwadi chekuti jenareta yadzimwa uye inotonhorera.
- Vhura chivharo chetangi yemafuta.
- Carefully pour clean diesel fuel into the tank, using a funnel to prevent spills. Do not fill above the maximum level indicator. The tank capacity is 16 liters.
- Securely close the fuel tank cap. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Pre-Operation Checks
