How the fuck do I use this? I don't even know how to buy fuel for it. "Normal petrol"? What does that mean? Will the petrol station sell me one of those bottles to put it in?

It's an Hydraulic Petrol Unit - Atlas Copco LP9 20. What I think is the oil tank looks full, the petrol tank is empty.

Normal petrol means exactly that, normal petrol. It's likely phrased like that to distinguish that it doesn't need 2 stroke mix. Yes, the garage will sell you a fuel can, though they're probably cheaper at Halfords.

Done that, put it in, pulled the cord and nothing happened. The cord didn't even retract. Now what?

Is the engine switch on? Is the fuel tap open? (if there is one) is the choke closed? Is there a hydraulic bypass, that probably needs to be off too.

I'm guessing at least the answer to the first question is no.

There are about five different switches on the thing, all labels worn off. The hydraulic bypass is the only obvious one.

Make sure that the fuel tap is set to "on", the choke is closed and the hydraulic bypass control is set to "off". Pull-starting an engine has a bit of a knack to it and it might take a few attempts. Once the engine does start, allow it to warm up for a few minutes, open the choke and set the hydraulic bypass to "on".

Thanks, I couldn't find that.

The cord still won't retract so I can't try again.

The recoil spring might be buggered, but it's worth checking the pull cord for kinks or knots. It's not massively difficult to take off the pulley cover. You can find the manual for the engine at the link below.

What's a respectful amount of time to wait to ask OP how the fuck they ended up with such a specific piece of machinery with no idea how to operate it?

A missing bolt on the cage wheels meant the weight of the whole generator was pressing the axle against the recoil spring casing. That had bent it out of shape so it pressed against the internal bit that's supposed to spin, acting like a brake. I propped it up on some bricks to relieve the weight and bent the casing back into shape, running perfectly now.
